Would be great to see some action filters/hooks we could tap into, etc. For instance, for the ‘select2’ field, I really just need to alias that as type ‘select,’ but without touching the core I can’t, and it ends up with extra code when I do it as a plugin.
@sschat I’ve started a GitHub repo for Piklist Field Addons here (https://github.com/anderly/piklist-field-addons). Thought, maybe we could combine our efforts into one project if you’re so inclined. I’ve taken a similar approach to the Piklist core code that auto-loads classes, so it should be fairly easy to extend. Right now, I only have one field type based on the Select2 library (http://ivaynberg.github.com/select2/), but I also plan on adding this datetimepicker (http://trentrichardson.com/examples/timepicker/).
Also, if/when we have a reasonable number of additional field types, I was thinking we could optionally add a settings page where a user could check which field types they’d like loaded similar to the way this plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jquery-ui-widgets/screenshots/) does it with jquery ui widgets.
Let me know if you’re interested and feel free to fork my GitHub repo and add your slider and switch fields.

Here ya go: https://github.com/anderly/piklist-field-addons/archive/master.zip
I’ve only added the “select2″ field type but am planning on adding some others such as this datetimepicker: http://trentrichardson.com/examples/timepicker/
Sample usage:
piklist(‘field’, array(
‘type’ => ‘select2′
,’field’ => ‘select’
,’label’ => ‘Select’
,’value’ => ”
,’choices’ => array(
” => ”
,’first’ => ‘First Choice’
,’second’ => ‘Second Choice’
,’third’ => ‘Third Choice’
)
,’options’ => array(
‘allowClear’ => true
,’placeholder’ => ‘Select an Option’
,’width’ => ‘200px’
)
));
I’m a fan of this one (http://trentrichardson.com/examples/timepicker/). Nice extension to jQuery UI DatePicker and very customizable.
Been using it with https://github.com/rilwis/meta-box for awhile now.
I would look at that plugin for some other ideas for field types. I know there are some other good meta-box plugins as well.
You might want to look at http://ivaynberg.github.com/select2/ for multi-select as well.
Still would love to see this on GitHub to raise the profile of the project and increase contributions and add-ons.
Keep up the good works!
Cheers,
Adam
