Hi,

I’d like to be able to create a Dashboard QuickPress/Add New Post widget equivalent for a CPT that I have created with Piklist.

From the looks of it I’ll need to create a forms/ part for the form, and use a shortcode in a dashboard/ part to load it. Is this correct?

I essentially want it to be handled in the same way as a standard Add New post submission where it submits to post-new.php, only from a widget, which means I’ll need the standard hidden fields that are populated on the standard form (ie. nonce, user-id, post-author etc). Is there a quick way to build these or do I need invoke field() for each?

I’ve gotten as far as:

/*
Action: post-new.php
Capability: edit_posts
Network: false
*/

piklist( 'field', array(
  'type'    => 'text',
  'field'   => 'post_title',
  'scope'   => 'post',
  'label'   => 'Title'
) );

<the same custom fields I have in my CPT metaboxes>

piklist('field', array(
  'type' => 'submit',
  'field' => 'submit',
  'value' => 'Submit'
));

My apologies if I have missed the documentation for this somewhere.

Thanks
