Custom Post Types

Okay, if you’re not impressed with WordPress yet, you’ve got to take alook at 3.0. The development team has really made some significant updates for power users. Those who love to develop wordpress sites, like we do, you’re gonna love having the ability to create your won custom post types.

To implement this most excellent feature, just paste the following into your themes functions.php file and tweak to your delight.

register_post_type('products', array(
	'label' => __('Products'),
	'singular_label' => __('Products'),
	'public' => true,
	'show_ui' => true,
	'capability_type' => 'post',
	'hierarchical' => false,
	'rewrite' => false,
	'query_var' => false,
	'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'author')
));

Can’t get much easier than that. Having this ability will allow us, as Wrodpress developers, to create more custom user interfaces for the content management systems we produce. Have fun with it!
