In reply to: How to create the site social bookmarking WordPressThat site was accomplished by purchased software.
You could try the WP Nominate theme for something similar.
I have been attempting something closer to a mix between delicious, mini-blogs and buddypress for 2 months with quite a bit of failure myself.

In reply to: hierarchical post_types — can someone explain?After giving the whole thing more thought — gotta love the pitch dark commute now that Daylight Savings is over — I can see the benefits of using separate taxonomies for the Fic Author and the Bookmark URL.
A Fic Author can be associated with more than one story and, thus, more than one URL. As such, it needs to be a one-to-many functional field. Fic Authors already in the list can be selected or a new one can be added.
Making a Bookmark URL its own taxonomy allows post authors to each assign his or her own variation of the Title (even though my inner standardization nerd is balking at that) — making it more meaningful or correct or whatever. It makes the actual bookmark more flexible, more searchable.
Though I wonder if a function can be written so when a post author uses a bookmarklet on his or her browser on a website, the URL can check the existing posts for a Title and Fic Author and “suggest” one at random or failing to find one, pull in that information the way delicious does?

In reply to: hierarchical post_types — can someone explain?I thought taxonomy is more like a tag or a category, something for organizing, flagging, sorting or grouping. See how confused I am about these structures?
I’ve actually been putting more thought to how I think these bookmarks should work — I’m a programmer, just not familiar with WordPress’ terminology, database structure, or even programming standards. (This might be too mainstream for me. :P)
So, what you’re saying is a post is not, in fact, a “record” at all, which is how I think of it.
I “assumed” a record contained:
- post id
- post title
- post author
- excerpt
- content
- categories
- tags
- status
- post date
- custom fields
- etc
Thus, in my mind, a custom post_type, would be the creation of a variant “record” such as:
bookmark_link
- post id
- post title
- bookmark url
- bookmark author
- post date
- categories
- tags
- status
- fav_count
- bookmark_count
- rec_count
- to_read_count
- custom fields
- etc
Then have a second post_type perhaps which is
bookmark- post_id
- parent_post_id
- post author
- content (summary)
- rec/review
- categories
- tags
- status
- favorite_flag
- to_read_flag
- rec_flag_
- custom fields
- etc
or I’m thinking about it all wrong…
I would love to talk to you about how you’ve done this and see the sites you’ve done. I’ve been working on this for over a month trying to work out how to handle this. (And I’d really rather be writing in my spare time…in fact I’m going to miss my deadline if I keep going this way. :P)
