VZ Members Fieldtype

VZ Members is my second fieldtype for Brandon Kelly’s FieldFrame extension. I needed a way to select any number of site members to associate with an entry. In my case I am doing this to allow entry creators to set permissions on an entry-by-entry basis. You could also use it to link to the profiles of people mentioned in an article, or inside a Matrix field to create a list of events, each with a date, title, and the personnel who will be in attendance.

This morning I pushed version 1.1 of my VZ Url fieldtype for Brandon Kelly’s FieldFrame extension up to GitHub. The code for this version completely rewritten to (hopefully!) eliminate some issues with ajax calls returning in the wrong order, leading to false negatives. While I was at it, I made the errors display in a pop-up box, allowing for more verbose errors without breaking the layout.

Roadblock is an extension for Expression Engine that looks every time someone logs in to see if they have been shown a message yet, and how long ago. If they have not yet seen the roadblock, or if it was over a specified length of time ago, the roadblock will be displayed.

I finally had time today to migrate the “Photography” section of my website over to the Expression Engine system that I am using for the rest of the site. So now everything is under one roof, with the same interface for uploading photos as for writing blog posts.
