Hi Tessa,
Thanks for the work you've done so far, everything seems to make sense :) The integration with ctools has simplified things quite a bit. I'm just sorry that I have to report a couple of issues :(

I just installed the module on a freshly downloaded Drupal site and I'm currently getting an fatal error when I try to create an item:

Fatal error: Class name must be a valid object or a string in /var/www/site/docroot/sites/all/modules/contrib/ctools/includes/export.inc on line 1152

I couldn't track down where the error was coming from so I cleared the caches, which made the admin screen disappear. It looks like something in the integration with ctools that is causing this, but I'm not overly familiar with the ctools api, unfortunately...

Thanks,
Phil

Nice to hear that you like the changes!

The bug is probably related to the plugin settings, not the biggest problem I hope.

Another thing, could you make the dev version availble on the project page?
Other users can test easier the dev version without diving into git.

Thanks!

Hi Phil,

Made some last improvements and I think we can release a new version of this module.
Everything sould work fine, except for importing, this function needs ctools 1.6-RC1

If you have the time, please review and test it on a new drupal install and/or existing one with custom help text.

Thanks!
