Adding plugins meta box’s to custom post types

Thank you for the link – that artical provided a lot of insite.

After 2 solid days of research & trial+error, I found all I had to do was add:

// add custom meta to custom post type 'portfolio'
	add_meta_box( 'attachments_list', __( 'Attachments', 'attachments_textdomain' ), 'attachments_add', 'portfolio', 'normal' );

to the attachment where it declares it for ‘posts’ and ‘pages’.

🙂

to my understanding,

for meta boxes to be added to the “post” or “page” Write screens, authors of the plugins need to use “add_meta_box(” to declare it in the different post types with the 4th argument “$page” of add_meta_box .. soo if you have a new custom post type, ie: ‘portfolio’, you have to add that you want the meta box to be on the ‘Portfolio’ write screen with “add_meta_box()” — just as it should be already with ‘post’ andor ‘page’

so all i did was search the desired plugins source for “add_meta_box(” and added the previous code beneath the two already there to put the meta box in ‘posts’ and ‘pages’
