using WPBook Lite and custom post type Events

    Hi,

    I’ve created a custom post type ‘events’ which is really just like a normal post type, but also adding custom field, date.

    I have added the meta box to the event post type form (see below), however I can’t get the events posts to actually show up on the facebook page. Normal posts are showing up fine.

    Any advice?

    Thanks,
    Brooke

    function wpbook_lite_add_meta_box() {
  global $wp_version;
  if (version_compare($wp_version, '2.7', '>=')) {
    add_meta_box('wpbook_lite_post_form','WPBook-Lite', 'wpbook_lite_meta_box', 'post', 'side');
  } else {
    add_meta_box('wpbook_lite_post_form','WPBook-Lite', 'wpbook_lite_meta_box', 'post', 'normal');
  }

  if (version_compare($wp_version, '2.7', '>=')) {
    add_meta_box('wpbook_lite_post_form','WPBook-Lite', 'wpbook_lite_meta_box', 'events', 'side');
  } else {
    add_meta_box('wpbook_lite_post_form','WPBook-Lite', 'wpbook_lite_meta_box', 'events', 'normal');
  }
}

    @bisrandom – by default WPBook and WPBook Lite are both set to ignore non ‘post’ type posts.

    In the case of WPBook Lite you can change this by editing the plugin.

    In wpbook-lite\includes\publish_to_facebook.php, look at lines 71-73:

    if(get_post_type($my_post->ID) != 'post') { // only do this for posts
			return;
		}

    You’ll need to change this if statement to something like this (which says if the post is not a ‘post’ AND is not an ‘event’): 

    if(get_post_type($my_post->ID) ! = 'post' && get_post_type(my_post->iD) != 'event')

    or just comment out all three lines to get all post types.
