do_meta_boxes on press-this.php

[SpencerFinnell]

Right now, there is no way of add meta boxes to the Press This bookmarklet. A simple call of do_meta_boxes() allows plugin/theme authors to easily hook into the bookmarklet.

do_meta_boxes( 'press-this', 'normal', '' );

That seems to work like a charm.

So apparently I don't know how to create the patch, but the code is in the file I attached.

Adds do_meta_boxes( 'press-this', 'normal', );

Added it real patch this time. Sorry about that!

I tested the patch on WP 3.0 with a single meta box. It works and is useful to me.

Visually, there is no space between the editor and the first meta box. I haven't worked much with WP CSS, but I think I can patch wp-admin/css/press-this.dev.css to fix this. I'll attach my proposal.

A style fix to separate meta boxes from the post content area.

Any news on this?
I think it's a must to have, specially today that we do have Post Formats.

The new Press This (as of 4.2b1) no longer uses meta boxes.

We have, on the other hand, talked about new actions for devs to be able to extend PT, but will not be through the meta box API.

@stephdau - Can you outline the new actions for devs to be able to extend PT you've discussed?

I love the UX of new Press This - and wondering how it might be extended for quick entry of other post types and, if not Meta Boxes API to store into post meta, something similar that could be hooked via plugin to allow front-end theme and regular admin interface to view / edit respectively.
