A robust, intuitive, polished custom fields plugin provides text, textarea, image, file, date, time, datetime, select, radio, and checkbox fields.

== Description ==

Verve Meta Boxes is a robust custom fields plugin with an intuitive, polished interface that allows for creation of text, textarea, image, file, date, time, datetime, select, radio, and checkbox custom fields for posts and/or pages.

Values for custom fields are stored in wp_postmeta and can be accessed in templates through standard Wordpress functions such as: the_meta, get_post_meta, get_post_custom, get_post_custom_values, etc.

Once installed, you will find a configuration screen located under Tools in the left navigation. There you can create multiple meta boxes each with a set of user defined drag and drop sortable custom fields. See the screenshots for more detail.

For custom post types, we recommend installing [Custom Post Type UI](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/) or [CMS Press](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cms-press/). 

== Installation ==

Installing Verve Meta Boxes.

1. Upload `verve-meta-boxes` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Place `<?php get_post_custom_values('your_custom_field_key_here'); ?>` inside the Loop in your templates

Note - Verve Meta Boxes supports custom post types. There are a number of plugins that allow you to set up custom post types. We recommend [Custom Post Type UI](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/). You must check "supports: custom-fields" for Verve Meta Boxes to recognize the custom post type.
