Pods is a framework for creating, managing, and deploying customized content types and fields.

== Description ==

Check out http://pods.io/ for our User Guide, Forums, and other resources to help you develop with Pods.

= Introduction =
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkBDNOAQJxg]

= Content types that evolve with your needs =
Create any type of content that you want -- small or large -- we've got you covered. Every content type created with Pods gets all the love it needs to grow up big and strong. You'll get an easy to use interface that lets you manage custom fields and how your content type will function.

We now give you the power you've never before had with a single plugin because we've reimagined how to manage content types from the ground up.

= Create new content types =
With Pods, you can create entirely new content types:

* Custom Post Types - Content types that look and function like Posts and Pages, but in their own separate areas
* Custom Taxonomies - Content types that look and function like Categories and Tags, but in their own separate areas
* Custom Settings Pages - Create custom admin forms under Settings to help organize your site's custom global settings
* Advanced Content Types - These are entirely separate from WordPress and function off their own database tables

= Extend existing content types =
Not satisfied? How about the power of being able to extend existing content types? We've got you covered with extending these major WordPress objects:

* Post Types - Create and manage fields for any existing Post Type (Posts, Pages, etc), even those created by plugins or themes
* Taxonomies - Create and manage fields for any existing Taxonomies (Categories, Tags, etc), even those created by plugins or themes
* Media - Create and manage fields for your media uploads, easily add additional information and context to any file you want
* Users - Create and manage fields for your user profiles, this is truly the bees knees!
* Comments - Create and manage fields for your visitor comments, easily add fields to fit the way you use comments as reviews and more

= Use our field types, or make your own =
We have a lot of common field types available for you to use, or you can build your own with our extensible field type classes.

Each of these field type have their own set of options, if those aren't enough they are also easily extended:

* Date / Time - Date, Time, or both
* Number - Plain Number or Currency
* Text - Plain Text, Website, Phone, E-mail, or Password
* Paragraph Text - Plain Paragraph, WYSIWYG (TinyMCE or CLEditor, or add your own), or Code (Syntax Highlighting)
* Color Picker - Choose colors, because colors are great
* Yes / No - You can't really go wrong with a checkbox, but we've added a few charms to make it stand out
* File / Image / Video - Upload new media or select from existing ones with our Media Library integration, or use a simple uploader, your choice
* Avatars - Upload new media or select from existing ones, automatically integrates with get_avatar calls for Users extended by Pods
* Relationships - Relate any item, to any item of any WP object type, another Pod, or a custom user-defined list -- with bidirectional relationships

= Relationships to rule the world with =

* Custom defined list
* Post Types
* Taxonomies
* Users
* User Roles
* User Capabilities
* Media
* Comments

And many other relationships are also available including:

* Image Sizes
* Navigation Menus
* Post Formats
* Post Status
* Sidebars
* Countries (predefined)
* US States (predefined)
* Days of Week (predefined)
* Months of Year (predefined)

= Easily display your content =
There are several ways to get Pods data to show up throughout your site, but with any WP object type you create or extend with Pods, you can use all of the functions and methods you're already used to with the core WordPress API / Loop -- out of the box!

Additionally, we have a United Theming API that lets you theme your content types across every type of Pod, regardless if it's a post type or taxonomy or user, or.. you get the picture.

= Customized Management Panels =
Utilize Pods UI (included in Pods 1.10+) to build your own Custom Management panels for your Pods.

= Optional Components to do even more =
You can enable some of our included components to extend your WordPress site even further:

* Roles and Capabilities - Create or edit Roles for your site, and customize their corresponding capabilities
* Pages - Create custom pages that function off of your site's path, with wildcard support, and choose the Page Template to use
* Templates - Use our template engine to create templates that can be handed off to clients for carefree management
* Helpers - Customize how Pods works right from the admin area with simple to advanced reusable code snippets
* Advanced Content Types - These types of content were built into Pods prior to 2.3, but are now optionally enabled
* Table Storage - Enable table-based storage for custom fields on Post Types, Media, Users, and Comments. Also adds the ability to add custom fields to Taxonomies
* Advanced Relationships - Add advanced relationship objects for relating to including Database Tables, Multisite Networks, Multisite Sites, Themes, Page Templates, Sidebars, Post Type Objects, and Taxonomy Objects
* Markdown Syntax - Parses Markdown Syntax for Paragraph Text / WYSIWYG fields
* Builder theme integration - Use our tightly integrated modules for Builder in your layouts

= Migrate to Pods, find out what you've been missing =
Using another solution? We've built additional components to help you transition:

* Import from Custom Post Type UI
* More imports coming soon including Importing from Custom Field Suite, Advanced Custom Fields, and Custom Tables

= Plays well with others =
We also do our best to integrate and play nicely with other projects:

* Plugins we've integrated with
 * [Tabify Edit Screen](http://wordpress.org/plugins/tabify-edit-screen/)
 * [Codepress Admin Columns](http://wordpress.org/plugins/codepress-admin-columns/)
 * [Polylang](http://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/)
 * [YARPP](http://wordpress.org/plugins/yet-another-related-posts-plugin/)
 * [WPML](http://wpml.org/)
* Themes we've integrated with
 * [Builder](http://www.ithemes.com/) (iThemes)
 * [Genesis](http://www.studiopress.com/) (StudioPress)

== Installation ==

1. Unpack the entire contents of this plugin zip file into your `wp-content/plugins/` folder locally
1. Upload to your site
1. Navigate to `wp-admin/plugins.php` on your site (your WP Admin plugin page)

OR you can just install it with WordPress by going to Plugins >> Add New >> and type this plugin's name

== Screenshots ==

1. Create new content types or extend existing ones
2. Add fields of many different types, with individual options for each so you can define your content type to be what you need it to be
3. Post Type pods will add fields to the Post editor
4. Taxonomy pods will add fields to the Taxonomy forms
5. User pods will add fields to the User forms
6. Comment pods will add fields to the Comment forms
7. Media pods will add fields to the Media forms
8. Create Advanced Content Types that exist only as you define them, outside of the normal WP object structure

* Fixed: Some plugins/themes use the wp_title filter incorrectly and do not pass the $sep and $seplocation variables, we now set defaults in those cases
* Fixed: Some sites experienced PHP notices from the way we've been using parse_url, we now have a fallback for that handling which clears those up
* Q & A: What's going to happen to Pods 1.x when Pods 2.0 comes out? We're going to release maintenence updates to Pods 1.14.x for a period of time, but there will be no further features added

= 1.14.3 - September 6th, 2012 =
* Added: Reordering a Pod (using pods_ui_manage) now has a new capability check for pods_reorder_pod_podname (Custom WP capability you can add to the user's role if they don't have pod_podname access already)
* Added: New pods_page_precode_X action, where X is the Pod Page URI
* Fixed: get_field from returning values if an id is not set (no data found)
* Fixed: Moved wp_editor support into an if/else statement to avoid potential overlaps
* Fixed: Pods UI pagination and search parameter naming for 'num' usage

= 1.14.2 - June 8th, 2012 =
* Changed: More strictness to the above security update, also setting tighter defaults for security access w/ uploader

= 1.14.1 - May 31st, 2012 =

* Fixed: Uploaded files not showing in form in the order of upload on subsequent edits
* Fixed: Fixed an issue with adding / editing fields where "Related to" dropdown would not show

= 1.14 - May 21, 2012 =
* Important Change / Addition: For installations using WordPress 3.3+, we have switched the default uploader to Plupload from SWFUpload due to incompatibilities introduced in WP 3.3.2 that effect all plugins and themes using the styled button. Be sure to update your file upload helpers using our examples at http://pods.io/packages/file-uploader-input-helpers/
* Added: edit_where_any option in Pods UI now lets you set (true/false) whether for edit_where to be an ANY or ALL match (default false = ALL)
* Fixed: Date Input field was throwing a JS error if you used YYYY-mm-dd format without the time included
* Fixed: parse_url fixes for when path isn't set (localhost or custom ports usually causes this)
* Fixed: When there was extra output above or below JSON strings like errors from other plugins, whitespace, or anything else - we now explicitly match the JSON {...} string before using it in JS to avoid confusing errors for the user
* Fixed: .pods_form style tweaks to help cover themes which display the form incorrectly
* Fixed: Forcing (int) on getRecordById when is_numeric( $id )

* Added: New 'pods_rel_lookup_data' filter to filter the data array itself (not just the MySQL resource given in 'pods_rel_lookup' filter above), great for customizing drop-downs for PICK fields
* Fixed: 'page' parameter in Pod::findRecords wasn't being validated as a number greater than 0, now forces a minimum of 1; Anything less will also reset the current page number, set during Pod::construct()
* Fixed: Pods UI 'label_add' wasn't being used on button at top of manage table list
* Fixed: Pagination bug with custom page_var set in Pod object, would add the custom page_var to the URL over and over
* Fixed: Upgrade script updated to include all upgrades prior to 1.6, which had been left out in a previous release
* Fixed: More strict matching in Pod::findRecords for field names, instead of just removing '(' and ')', it now removes 'function_name(' first, so that fields with the same name as function names won't be pulled

= 1.12.3 - February 19, 2012 =
* Added: Pods UI findRecords parameters array now goes through a new filter called "pods_ui_findrecords"
* Fixed: Forcing boolean check if true in bypass_helpers in PodAPI

* Fixed: Pods UI search settings set correctly now (had to flip a true/false check and not have search_across take the bool value of search)
* Fixed: Pods UI filtering sets emptied values now, wasn't setting right if you had emptied a filter value when submitting (unselected drop-down)

= 1.12.2 - December 14, 2011 =

* Added: Pod :: raw_sql contains SQL without @ table references replaced and Pod :: sql now should reflect the same query as hits the DB (@ table references replaced)
* Added: Pod :: getZebra() which uses a switch (Pod :: zebra) that goes from false to true during fetchRecord loops (initial value is false, first fetch switches it to true and reverses each additional fetch)

* Changed: Pod Page Precode now runs on 'after_setup_theme' action instead of 'plugins_loaded'

* Fixed: Pods &gt;&gt; Setup UI updated with lots of fixes when editing Pods / Columns, and Helpers (no more refreshes needed where they may have been needed before)
* Fixed: PodAPI setting of defaults for $params to avoid isset checks
* Fixed: PodAPI :: save_column now sets pick-related extra data to empty if not a pick column
* Fixed: Pod :: getRecordById() now gets all of the same data as findRecords pulls in (pod_id, created, modified)

* Fixed: pods_var bug with strtolower PHP warning when managing content

* Added: pods_var_set function to set variables, operates similar to pods_var, has three variables ($value, $key, $type) and returns $value on success (if $type is an array or object it will return the updated $type, if $type is 'url' it will return the full updated $url)
* Fixed: Now using get_current_url() and parse_url to get path versus $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']
* Fixed: Replaced mysql_real_escape_string usage with esc_sql
