Important Notice - SMOF has reached the end of its development life cycle as we are now joining forces with the Redux Framework. Cheers - Syamil MJ ;)
SMOF is a back-end framework for creating and managing options inside WordPress themes. It cuts off the process of developing your own admin framework and give you more time to actually focus on building your theme. SMOF comes bundled with plentiful of options that should serve most of the needs of any modern theme authors.
The main feature of SMOF is its intuitive, user-friendly interface that aims to look as native as possible to WordPress. Additionally, it comes loaded with some awesome features that makes it even more usable to you as a theme author.
Some of these are:
- Native Media Library Uploader
- Native WP Color Picker
- Drag and Drop Unlimited Slider Options
- Layout Manager
- Tiles
- Backup and Restore
- Keeps the site URL out of the database
- Google fonts with live preview
- Jquery UI slider
- ...and much more(including base elements inputs, textarea, etc.)
For those interested in the SMOF & NHP fork known as Redux Framework 3.0 we suggest trying the Redux Converter. This plugin is a simple solution that provides the opportunity to experience what Redux has to offer, without the hassle of rewriting your current config file. Simply install the plugin on a site using SMOF and install the ReduxFramework plugin. A new menu item titled SMOF 2 Redux will appear. This newly installed panel will take the current SMOF config - along with any stored data - and convert it to a Redux-compatible format for examination and experimentation.
If you've already tested Redux and want to make the switch, open the Convert to Redux section. You'll be provided with a class that not only instantiates the new Redux-powered panel, but will also migrate any existing data with the activation or upgrade of your theme.
We look forward to you joining our community!
