Plugin Description
This plugin is designed to help you curate your content. It lets you assign and order stories within zones that you create, edit, and delete, and display those groupings of related stories on your site.
This plugin was originally built by Mohammad Jangda in conjunction with William Davis and the Bangor Daily News.
Features
- Add, edit, and delete zones.
- Add and remove posts (or any custom post type) to or from zones.
- Order posts in any given zone.
- Limit capabilities on who can add, edit, and delete zones vs add content to zones.
- Locking mechanism, so only one user can edit a zone at a time (to avoid conflicts).
- Idle control, so people can’t keep the zone locked.
