Plugin Description

Options Definitely is a framework for developers that allows them to easily add options and their input fields to the WordPress admin so that a user can manage them. You can add new menus and options pages, add fields to those pages and organize them in multiple tabs and settings sections.

The plugin belongs to the group of Definitely plugins which aim at making adding backend components in WordPress easier and more standardized for developers. All Definitely plugins bundle a custom library that handles functionality which is shared across all these plugins, for example handling the field types and their controls.

The library comes with several common field types and validation functions included, including repeatable fields, where you can group a few fields together and allow the user to add more and more of them. All the fields have a validation mechanism, so you can specify what the user is allowed to enter and print out custom error messages.

For an extensive list of features, please visit the Features page in the Options Definitely Wiki.
