VZ Url Updated And New VZ Members Fieldtype

One of my favorite little FieldTypes, VZ Url, has just received an update. What’s changed?

The code for this version completely rewritten to (hopefully!) eliminate some issues with ajax calls returning in the wrong order, leading to false negatives. While I was at it, I made the errors display in a pop-up box, allowing for more verbose errors without breaking the layout.

Eli, VZ Url’s author, has also released a new interesting FieldType called VZ Members Fieldtype:

VZ Members is my second fieldtype for Brandon Kelly’s FieldFrame extension. I needed a way to select any number of site members to associate with an entry. In my case I am doing this to allow entry creators to set permissions on an entry-by-entry basis. You could also use it to link to the profiles of people mentioned in an article, or inside a Matrix field to create a list of events, each with a date, title, and the personnel who will be in attendance. If you find other creative ways to use VZ Members, please share them in the comments.

You can find more about this FieldType here. Congratulations to Eli for these releases.
