Custom Post Types in the wild (WordCamp Sofia 2012)
- Custom Post Types In the wild Mario Peshev me.peshev.net @no_fear_inc
- Agenda • WordPress • Posts and Pages • Custom Post Types • In the wild • Types • Views
- About me • WordPress Engineer at • DevriX CTO • Open Source trainer and consultant
- 70 000 000+ websites
- 21% of all USAregistered domains now
- Posts and Pages
- Posts – chronological and archives
- Pages – subpages and templates
- But in the end...
- phpMyAdmin
- Post Types • Post • Page • Attachment • Revision • Nav Menu
- But I need a new structure :
- Examples:
- Magazine Entries
- Products
- Real Estates
- Slides
- Courses
- Forms
- Air Conditioners
- What's the difference • Unique styling for a post type • Separate categorization • List only post type entries • Common API for all post types • The magic Custom Fields
- CuperFields!
- Add extra values to a post
- Enable them first!
- All post types include... • Title • Content area • Date • Featured Image • Revisions
- Custom Fields • Specific information for every post • Rating • Phone number • Everything beyond title, content, featured image, date or taxonomies
- Wait, Taxonomies?
- Tags
- Categories
- And... Custom Taxonomies!
- Taxonomies • Great for classification • Drawback: • Support only title • Can't be extended (naturally)
- Post Types simple
- Post Types full
- Register Taxonomy
- The Loop • The core iteration WordPress unit
- List all product titles Note: always use WP_Query instead.
- List all products in a taxonomy term
- The Swiss knife of Post Types
- Field groups
- Types Range • Types could define: • Post type structure • Taxonomies and relations • Custom field groups per post type • Extra custom fields • Loop is to be done manually
- CPT toolkits • Types • Pods • Advanced Custom Fields • Custom Post Type UI • More Fields
- Pro users: go to Views
- Views sample site
- V i e w s
- View Templates
- Views Disclaimer • Warning: Views is not free, it's $49 for unlimited number of websites • How come? • Complete LOOP control with UI • Create templates for post types and archives • Submit CPTs from the front end • Widgetized loops
- Questions?
