There are two ways to use it: 1. Use the setting page to select the taxonomies. 2. Write code to add a column in exactly the right place. ## Screenshots * [[ * A _Keywords_ column added to the All Pages listing. * [[ * The settings page. ## Installation Install the plugin the normal way: 1. Upload the `post-taxonomy-column` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Visit the settings page to switch columns on and off. Alternatively, you can use the `manage_edit-post_type_columns` filter to adjust the columns more precisely. Suppose you have a custom post type called _Movies_, and a custom taxonomy called _Year of Release_ with the code `year`, and you’d like to add this to the ‘All Movies’ listing in the admin. Put the following code into `functions.php` or a plugin: ``` add_filter("manage_edit-movie_columns", "add_movie_columns"); function add_movie_columns ($columns) { $columns['year'] = 'Year of Release'; return $columns; } ``` This plugin will then fill in values for the Year column. ## FAQ Where do these taxonomies come from? You’ll need to add them, either with code in your theme’s `functions.php` or using a plugin. This plugin does not register or manage taxonomies. Does this work with custom post types? Yes. Can I use this plugin to create custom post types? No, this plugin does not register or manage custom post types. You’ll need to add them either with code in your theme’s `functions.php` or using a plugin. My taxonomy/post type isn’t showing up. What’s wrong? Make sure your taxonomies and post types are public: ``` register_post_type('foo', array( ... 'public' => true )); ``` What will this do if I add a column code that isn’t a taxonomy? Nothing. You’ll get a blank cell. Can I have more than one taxonomy column? Yes, as many as you like as long as the column’s ID matches up with the taxonomy ID. Can I control the order of the columns? How do I add a column in the middle rather than the end? To fine-tune the order of the columns, you will need to control them yourself. Turn off the checkboxes in the settings page, and instead use the `manage_edit-` _xxx_`_columns` filter which lets you adjust the columns any way you wish. For example, to add the `year` column after the `author` column: ``` add_filter("manage_edit-movie_columns", "add_movie_columns"); function add_movie_columns ($columns) { $out = array(); foreach ($columns as $key => $value) { $out[$key] = $value; if ($key == "author") $out["year"] = "Year of Release"; } return $out; } ``` Make sure your filter returns a value of some sort, or you’ll end up with no columns at all. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Post Taxonomy Column” is open source software.
