add post type support – multiple post types in one declaration

    My php kungfu is not strong yet. I’m learning 🙂

    I know I have to:
    add_post_type_support( 'state', 'genesis-simple-sidebars' );
    get to get some of my plugins to recognize my custom post types.

    But I have multiple custom post types (state, location, event and more)

    Instead of listing multiple “add_post_type_support(…” lines is it possible (and even more efficient) to list them all in one declaration? I checked the codex but didn’t see an example using an array.

    Thanks for helping me learn 🙂

    Isn’t that art/skill called simply “php-fu”? 😉 Whatever, right?

    That function only accepts array arguments for the feature (2nd parm) not post types. If you had multiple sidebars to support, you’d be able to pass them all in a single array. For multiple post types you need multiple declarations. You can compact the necessary code some by placing the post types in an array then running a foreach loop:

    $types = array('state', 'location', 'event', 'etc.',);
foreach ( $types as $type ) {
   add_post_type_support( $type, 'genesis-simple-sidebars');
}

    Ah, php-fu, I like it 🙂

    I have multiple 2nd params too so I’ll try that on my local play site and see what I can do.
    I’m just trying to do it “the right way” 🙂

    Thank you for taking the time to answer, it’s very helpful. Have a great evening 🙂
