   Hi there!
   I've been playing around with the 3.0 alpha release for the last days, and I'm really enjoying the new features. The custom post type is a feature I'm especially looking forward to.

   While playing with these new post types, I came up with a question. How would you create custom write panels per custom post types? This tutorial provided by Kovshenin helped me to create distinct columns already, but I need to have special write panels per post type. Following the steps of this tutorial worked only for one post type, but I couldn't get it to work for two or more.

   While it's so easy to add new post types and change columns I figured there must be an easy way to add those custom write panels, but I couldn't get my head around.

   Any idea?

   Custom post type UI plugin seems to work for that. Maybe you can glean from his code how it works.

   I don't see how they make custom write panels. I know how to create new post types and taxonomies, but i would like to add custom write panels to different post types (or custom meta boxes, if you like). So correct me if I'm wrong, but i guess my question is still standing.

   I followed these and got it to work with custom write panels with unique taxonomies.

   Allright.. it's not what i meant.
   Those taxonomies are great but I want something else.
   I need different custom metaboxes like the one you see here on different post types.

   They are replacing custom_fields, or, so to speak, a nicer way of dealing with custom_fields. I just can't get them to work on different post types...

   At the moment I've only seen one custom fields plugin for custom post types and haven't been able to find any tutorials. The plugin is "custom field template". It's still a bit buggy though. As 3.0 matures I imagine that it others will follow along. Right now post-types in general seem a big buggy as they aren't fully integrated into WP functions yet.
