Zone Manager (Zoninator)

Curation made easy! Create "zones" then add and order your content!

This plugin is designed to help you curate your content.

Assign and order stories within zones that you create, edit, and delete. Then use the handy API functions to retrieve and display your content in your theme. Or for those who are a bit code-averse, try the handy widget.

Key features included in the plugin:

Add/edit/delete zones
Add/remove posts (or any custom post type) to/from zones
Order posts in any given zone
Limit capabilities on who can add/edit/delete zones vs add content to zones
Locking mechanism, so only one user can edit a zone at a time (to avoid conflicts)
Idle control, so people can't keep the zoninator locked

This plugin was built by Mohammad Jangda in conjunction with William Davis and the Bangor Daily News.
