I would encourage anyone wanting to use custom fields extensively to take a look at ‘Custom Write Panel’ by Joshua. The link is available at: http://rhymedcode.net/projects/custom-write-panel It takes a lot of pain out of writing posts with lots of custom fields! :)

i worked on the organization of an architectural contest, aimed to young professionals and backed up by the government. Today, the jury decided that none of the entries was worth winning, none of them filled the jury’s expectations. But, since it wasn’t defined on the contest convocation it couldn’t be declared as desert. So, the jury HAD to select and award the as stated on the convocation, respecting the time wasted by people who submitted their entries.

Yeah, this would be a great idea to try again.

You could have Mark J. as one of the judges too. There are plenty of WP hackers out there that should be able to help out. Chris Davis to be another in the list.

Aaron, give this another try please!

So… despite the lack of critical mass, is there any code to be seen?

Dave and all-

I apologize for not updating things. The truth is there were several problems.

1) There really were not a critical mass of entrants.
2) Only one judge ended up being available to make a decision in the end.

At the end of the day, despite trying to make this competition worth it to the community, I have to recognize that there were some great entries but the situation demands that the competition be cancelled without a winner. Props to those that did enter and I’ll take the blame for it not working out. MAybe a good idea at the wrong time.

I am excited to see what the developers have come up with. Perhaps they could list the plugins here, even if the contest results haven’t been tabulated.

Hmm.. I am using WP to list projects and custom fields give me the functionality to add aditional info about a project, eg, Project Type, End Date, Manager, etc.. to use them I came up writing a plugin that enables me to search for a project using the info within the custom fields..

You can try the plugin: http://kamvajag.lv/programming/custom-search/

Totally my fault here. Too much travel. Too many weddings. Too much stuff happening and I let it slide. My fault.

I’ve forwarded the entries to the judges and hope to hear back soon.

Aaron .. I won’t be entering, but I’d still like to learn a little about this .. that link you posted (http://wordpress.org/search/custom+fields) comes up empty. Do you have a URL in codex? Are they fixing it up or something? I’m getting blanks on all searches.
