Wordpress 3.0 came out now and it has been mentioned that a movie review site as an example of custom post types and taxonomies Using WordPress as CMS I want to try to do this as an example of learning: I have experience programming, but not with WP.
Actually I am looking for guidance on how to structure post type, tag and classification type content. How can I understand this by reading WordPress Docs? I am mainly looking for "war plan" support for an example scenario.
As a small test case, assume that there are only 3 genre films: Action, Drama, and Comedy , And there are 5 movies of every type in my database.
At the top of the nav I want a "style" tab that will display 3 movie styles in the drop down. When one of these is clicked, I want it to go to a page for style (so it's likely to be a "style" custom post type), in which there is some lesson about that style and then one of the 5 The list displays movies in that style.
When a movie is clicked, it should go to the movie page (hence the "Movie" should be a custom post type) that shows some text about the movie, about the style There is some lesson in this (this page should know in some way what style it is linked to), and two links: to review pictures of a movie and a movie.
When you click on pictures, it will show some pictures for the movie (such as a movie image or some such custom post type).
When you click on the review, it should go for a written review (hence the movie review should be a custom post type)
Also, assume that the main navigation But there is another tab, which is called "movies", which shows a list of all 15 movies and when you click on it, it jumps right above the "Film Info" page (except for the style step).
Wow ... say that I want to set something like this; Does anyone familiar with WP 3.0 help me to come up on the proper structure of Taxonomies, Taxes, and Post types, which corresponds to the above? thank you in advanced!
Surely you are on the right track, because you think what custom post types are and they What to do is a good idea. I do not think you have a custom classification, though it is correct.
I would say that you should make a custom classification of "style" that will allow you to classify the movies in different styles, without any additional (and unnecessary) complexity associated with post type connectivity. is. Hierarchize styles and you can enter a classification details for styles so that the style page can still describe the style and list those post types.
Do not worry about doing a post type for movies that you consider very well, because you can 'attach' pictures of any post type which can use the visual editor Are there. You can also display a gallery of those pictures, and set a post thumbnail (movie poster) for each movie.
Movie reviews should have their own custom post type You might want to add a meta box which will give you a dropdown of movies so that you can easily define the relationship between the two posts.
As far as navigation tabs, the new NAV menu administration should allow you to do this easily.
In addition to entering post types and taxonomies, it is likely to include advanced code for templates and custom paramilitary. I highly recommend using Matt Wiibe's 'smart custom post type' enhancement:
It takes care of many troublesome spots and makes your life easier.
