   Hi,
   want to start using custom post types.
   Using an importer now to create new posts with pre-populated info as $mypost
   How is the following done with the custom post-types?
   To be clear: importing this programatically via php script for 100's of posts at a time. ;
   ($mypost is pre-populated array with appropriate values as field info)

   wp_insert_post( $my_post ); ??

   I understand that I could probably skip the post_meta portions as the custom post would have those built in... but I cannot undersand how to do an
   wp_update_custom_post type... I find no reference to this function in the wordpress site.

   If I understand your question, and the Codex article http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_post, I think you only need to set $my_post['post_type'] to your custom type before calling wp_insert_post.

   so in my array I would include
   $my_post['post_type'] = 'product' ;

   and I'm done. just hit wp_insert_post( $my_post ); and I get a product post?

   very cool.
   thanks. vtxyzzy
