    Hi steve,
    Please ignore “(Q3) Forgive me, but I don’t know how to create the ‘my_cpt’, i.e what does it mean in the USER-GUIDE
    “Post Type
    For custom post type flows, please define the post type. Example: my_cpt ” ”

    because – thanks to your groups video “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9s0b6-YV_UM”, I think I can work that part out.
    cheers

    Hi Steve,
    I have made some progress…but still having problems…

    I changed the files as follows…and I get 2 tabs when I view/edit a “POSTS”. Note.. the Order from left to right
    (a) 1st Tab Title= “My Flow Custom Fields” with two fields, from tutorial 1
    (b) 2nd Tab Title= “My Objective Tab” with no fields, but it represents the Meta file (3) below…

    (Q1) Why is the “My Objective Tab” (1) from the Meta-File appearing as a separate TAB on its own with no fields… it has the same Name as the Tab I specified in (2) ?

    (Q2) Do I have to create 3 additional similar files for “PAGES” i.e (1) (2) (3), even if I want to use the same exact fields in “POSTS” and “PAGES” ?

    (Q3) Forgive me, but I don’t know how to create the ‘my_cpt’, i.e what does it mean in the USER-GUIDE
    Post Type
    For custom post type flows, please define the post type. Example: my_cpt ”

    How do you create this custom post, is there an example, So that I can finish this tutorial on workflows?

    (1) Header file looks like this: “1) Header”
    =============================
    <?php
    /*
    Flow: My Post Flow
    Page: post.php, post-new.php, post-edit.php, admin.php
    Post Type: post
    Header: true
    Position: title

    */
    ?>

    (2) Tab File looks like this “2) Tab”
    ==============================
    <?php
    /*
    Flow: My Post Flow
    Title: My Objective Tab
    Order: 10
    Page: post.php, post-new.php, post-edit.php, admin.php
    Default: true
    */
    ?>

    (3) Meta File Looks like this: “3) Assign Meta Boxes, Sections, Etc. to Workflows.”
    ==================================
    <?php
    /*
    Flow: My Post Flow
    Title: My Flow Custom Fields
    Post Type: post, page
    Tab: My Objective Tab
    */

    // 1st Flow field
    piklist(‘field’, array(
    ‘type’ => ‘text’
    ,’field’ => ‘field_one’
    ,’label’ => ‘Flow First Field’

    ));

    // 2nd flow field colour picker
    piklist(‘field’, array(
    ‘type’ => ‘colorpicker’
    ,’field’ => ‘field_two’
    ,’label’ => ‘Flow Second Field’
    ));
    ?>

    Hi Steve,

    I have tried to add the Tabs but no joy. Turned off the demos plugin and the files from the first part of the tutorial I can still see working…If I understand the system correctly, the file names do not matter, only the declarations at the top of each file…Also
    “All Workflow files go in the /workflows folder.” I followed this to the letter, but no joy.
    User guide comment suggests that unlike the first tutorial we discussed, all the files go into the workflow folder including the Meta Box File for the fields in step (3) for workflows.

    Continuing with the tutorial: Worklflows

    I created three files,
    (1) Header file = wf_posts_header.php
    (2) Tab File = wf_posts_tabs.php
    (3) Meta File = wf_my_flow_fields.php

    files (1) and (2) placed in the folder workflows, the third I tried in two places:
    (a) the same folder as (1),(2)”workflows”, but No Tabs showed up anywhere.
    (b) then tried placing Meta File into the meta-boxes folder, because I thought maybe I should apply the same structure as the first tutorial, but still NO tabs showed up anywhere.

    I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong…please can you help?

    (1) Header file looks like this: “1) Header”
    =============================
    <?php
    /*
    *
    * Flow: My Flow
    * Page: post.php, post-new.php, post-edit.php, admin.php
    * Post Type: my_cpt
    * Header: true
    * Position: title
    * */
    ?>
    (2) Tab File looks like this “2) Tab”
    ==============================
    <?php
    /*
    *
    * Title: My Tab
    * Order: 10
    * Flow: My Flow
    *
    */

    ?>

    (3) Meta File Looks like this: “3) Assign Meta Boxes, Sections, Etc. to Workflows.”
    ==================================

    <?php
    /*
    Title: My Flow Custom Fields
    Post Type: post, page
    Tab: My Tab
    Flow: My Flow
    */

    // 1st field
    piklist(‘field’, array(
    ‘type’ => ‘text’
    ,’field’ => ‘field_one’
    ,’label’ => ‘Flow First Field’

    ));

    // 2nd field colour picker
    piklist(‘field’, array(
    ‘type’ => ‘colorpicker’
    ,’field’ => ‘field_two’
    ,’label’ => ‘Flow Second Field’
    ));

    ?>

    Hi Steve,
    Thank you so much…So I added your code below and it worked, only if I turned off the Demo Plugin(s).

    (a) If I understand this correctly, you can’t add to the demos, you have to make copies (and place them some where in the piklist folder tree.)

    Sorry in advanced if this is a dumb question…
    (b) What I would like a little help with, is on your website the “User Guide”, could you please point me to the chapter/tutorials that would help me read-up on how to DIY my own tabs any where in WORDPRESS like the ones below? Or maybe it doesn’t quiet work like that and I’m suppose to copy and paste code from the demos?

    I would like to make these and follow tutorials and add “things” to my own DIY tabs.

    “Default” “General” “Basic” “Lists” “Groups” “Advanced” “Validation” “Conditions”

    <?php
    /*
    Title: My Custom Fields
    Tab: Common
    Sub Tab: Profile
    Flow: Demo Workflow
    *
    */

    Thanks Steve for your reply and taking the time to help:
    I’m using only themes at the moment.

    I hope the reply button on a comment/post marked private, makes this reply private: anyway

    Copying from Aptana Studio:

    (1) This code is in a file called my-fields.php, and my-fields.php is in themes/twentyfourteen/piklist/parts/users/my-fields.php
    (2) With the piklist installed and demos turned on, when you visit a subscriber profile there are Tabs.
    “Default” “General” “Basic” “Lists” “Groups” “Advanced” “Validation” “Conditions”

    scrolling down the page on each does not seem to show any header field block reflecting any custom fields as per the code below – what I am searching for is the same thing/screenshot I saw in the tutorial (step 5) , but somewhere under one of the tabs I mentioned in (2), is that wrong?

    <?php
    /*
    Title: My Custom Fields
    *
    */

    // 1st field
    piklist(‘field’, array(
    ‘type’ => ‘text’
    ,’field’ => ‘field_one’
    ,’label’ => ‘FirstField’

    ));

    // 2nd field colour picker
    piklist(‘field’, array(
    ‘type’ => ‘colorpicker’
    ,’field’ => ‘field_two’
    ,’label’ => ‘Second Field’
    ));

    I’m not sure what you want me to zip up.
    Its not a special plugin I just downloaded wordpress 4.4.1 today, downloaded your plugin afterwards followed the tutorial.

    Its a blank wordpress 4.4.1 no posts, no comments, no installed plugins.

    It would be easier for me if there was a snapshot of what screen / Tab of the Users Profile of WordPress 4.4.1 , I should be seeing “my custom fields” (STEP 6 only – steps 1-5 work just fine) , unless it hasn’t been tested on WordPress 4.4.1 yet.
    thanks

    Ok, I spoke to soon,

    For the life of me I can’t find these “My Custom Fields” , even though everything seems to be working.
    that’s step (6) – Utilising the same code everywhere on WordPress 4.4.1
