[Plugin: Custom Content Type Manager] Feature Request

    First off let me say: I love this plugin – I have tried quite a few others on the same subject, but always find myself coming back to this one – sooner or later. ??
    I am just wondering if there are any plans to implement the following (by scouting this forum I saw those requests already mentioned in one form or another):

    • Custom Taxonomies per Content Type
    • Grouping Custom Fields used so they could be styled with a admin style sheet – example: A real Estate Content Type could have a rather large list of fields, some of them wysiwyig others single lines, by grouping them I could have a wrapper and float the content in the admin style
    • last but not least: and option to create a custom content type, but do not display it in the admin menu (as a Child of another Post type) and have the parent update the child.

    For the last 2 options: I invite you to take a look at the “Types” – plugin, it has many of the requested functions but misses a lot what your plugin offers.

    Thanks for your consideration

    Thanks for the words.

    Yes, re custom taxonomies, that is planned: https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-custom-content-type-manager/issues/detail?id=167 The simple taxonomies plugin does a good job of implementing this now, in my opinion, so it hasn’t been top priority to recreate that functionality, but soon.

    Re “grouping”, yes, this is planned via custom metaboxes: https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-custom-content-type-manager/issues/detail?id=34 (starting work on that shortly — that’s the main push for version 0.9.7)

    Re non-visible content types, that’s already possible. Just uncheck the appropriate visibilty checkboxes on the “Advanced” tab when you edit/create the content type. You can do custom hierarchies by adjusting settings on the “Fields” tab, e.g. have one content type be the child of another. You can put its menu item under the other too by adjusting the menu settings. If it’s not directly in the menu, however, you’d have to write the code to populate that content type. I’ve done this many times to implement logging or other storage using the included SP_Post.php class.

    I’ve looked at Types and many other plugins. I think mine is better ?? https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-custom-content-type-manager/wiki/SeeAlso

    First off: Thank you very much for the in depth response and updates.

    As I stated: Eventually I always come back to your plugin, because I too think it trumps all the other ones out there. ??
