Great! Select 2 Post Selector plugin ads no tables to your Wordpress blog database.This plugin provides a library for developers to use to create AJAX-powered drop-down post select boxes.
This is best explained with an example. Say you have a plugin or theme that sets up a custom post type called "Resources". You want users to be able to manually create, for each post, "Related posts" and "Related resources" using meta boxes with data (the IDs of the related posts/resources) saved to custom fields.
One way to do this is to use a select box. This would be a big long list of ALL the posts or resources on your site. This is not very user friendly, but also, with a large number of posts and resources to list, can be a real performance hog. I've even had this approach blow the PHP memory_limit and break the admin of sites.
This plugin improves both the user experience and performance of creating selectable post lists by enhancing them with the functionality of AJAX-powered Select2 select boxes.
The plugin:
- gives a simple way to select posts from a specified post type based on a partial, case-insensitive title search
- saves selected post IDs to custom post meta variables
- requires minimal coding (but, sadly, does require some coding in your plugin or theme)
