Finetuning single posts w/ customizer, for portfolio & custom post type

    Hi Anders,

    I noticed that with Eksell it’s possible to specify individual post meta for posts and jetpack portfolio posts with the customizer.
    Is there a way to retrofit Chaplin with this option?

    Can I even do the same for my own custom post types? I looked at the parameters for registering post types at https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/register_post_type/ but could not find anything suitable …

    It’s such a great feature in Eksell.

    All the best,
    -martin

    Hi @mniggemann,

    It’s technically possible, but it would be a really big chunk of code to add to a child theme. You’d need to add a custom Customizer class in the child theme with the settings, functions for retrieving the values, and plug content.php in Chaplin to insert the output of the meta fields.

    It would be a lot easier to add output of the custom post meta you want in content.php, in that case. Albeit not as flexible in the long term.

    Anders, thanx for the quick reply. You’re probably right, I’ll stick to editing the templates and CSS, should look the same in the end.

    Cheers!
