Hello all,
I am experimenting with register post types with WordPress 3.0. I have managed to create a post and using the rewrite options i have created a permalink so it is podcast/article-name.
I have also managed to create a custom template file to print out the information.
This is all based on the brilliant article at http://kovshenin.com/archives/extending-custom-post-types-in-wordpress-3-0/.
Normally with previous versions of WordPress these posts would belong to a category called podcast so an archive page is automatically called /podcast/. How can i create the same effect with register_post_type because currently going to /podcast it goes to a 404 despite there being an article at podcast/article-name?
I understand I can have a wp_query which passes through the values but I'd need to create a page or something for that query to live at. I would prefer if an archive page could be automatically created to save having lots of empty pages in the wordpress admin.
Many thanks
Dave.
Though not sure if it's the best solution, Jamie's code http://wordpress.pastebin.com/q2NtJZ7R supports visiting something like:
http://localhost/wp30/manager/manager-1-title/
Also see http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/13197 for a potential problem with koveshenin's article.
Hello Michael,
Thanks for responding. Not sure if I explained myself correctly. I have got the permalinks working to each individual articles but how do i get a page for the group of posts?
Previously these would be assigned to a category which would then have a archive page. I'd like the same but for post types.
I know I can create a page with a custom template but I was wondering whether there was any method similar to the way categories work?
Thanks
Dave.
I was pretty sure that example allowed you to visit for example:
http://localhost/wp30/manager
[edit went back and tested and it doesn't allow that...sorry the url has to be something like: http://localhost/wp30/?post_type=manager ]
Guess you could always create a page then access that post_type=xyz in a query either in a Page Template or using a plugin such as PHP Exec.
