What is sitemeta for?

    What methods can be used to save content here?

    I’m making a plugin to let people add script tags to embed on pages and parse and list query vars to let editors set vars for each page/post.

    I’m not sure abut how best to save the scripts. I want to list them so at first I thought about a custom post type, but that is a bit overkill. All I really need is a couple of fields (title and script content).

    I was thinking maybe to store them in site meta as the scripts are used site wide. Is this a bad idea? If not are there any examples of how to save, and load to the site meta data? Is it as easier as editing post meta data?

    Thanks.

    Site meta is a multisite table, it does not exist in the regular single site version. It’s appropriate for your intentions, but then your plugin would only work for multisite installations.

    For maximum usability, I’d suggest you use the options table. In order to accommodate a huge number of tags, it’d be worth considering the creation of a custom table.

    To use a custom table, all of your table operations would be through methods in the $wpdb global object.

    Ok. Thanks very much for the help! I hadn’t realised that was only multisite.
