Creating two sections for Posts in admin area

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if this is possible. Reason I am asking is because I have changed the original Posts section in Admin to “Products” and included custom meta boxes for our client. However, I’d like to be able to offer him the ability to add News articles (i.e. Blog articles) via Posts too – but without displaying the custom meta boxes from the Products section.

Just in case anyone suggests Pages, the Pages section will be restricted from our client as that is reserved for something else.

Does anyone know of any hacks that can be implemented to be able to achieve this?

Thank you in advance
Michael
