   Hi,
   I have upgraded to WP 2.7 (which is the best ever;-).
   Having some trouble with my own plugin postbox when editing articles in the admin interface. It is shown above the black wordpress header with the WORDPRESS logo. I guess this is due to the new functionality of dragging the postboxes. Could you pls let me know, how to add a custom postbox in the admin GUI. Do we need to register a postbox somehow? Is there a (short) tutorial available already?

   For now I use the following template code:
   ....
   

   <div id="wpMyOWnPlugin" class="postbox if-js-open">
   <h3>MyOwnHeadline</h3>
   <div class="inside">
   ....
   </div>
   </div>

   Many thanks

   Markus

   HI,

   well, solved the issue...I didn't use add_meta_box, which was already introduced by WP2.5:

   <?php
   add_meta_box('id', 'title', 'callback', 'page', 'context', 'priority'); ?>

   So, this issue might not be related to WP2.7. But I guess,

   add_action('dbx_post_advanced', 'myplugin_old_custom_box' );

   seems not to work anymore. Hope that makes sense....

   Markus
