[wp-hackers] WP Custom Post Type as 'Taxonomy' for Other Custom Post Type

[Alex Andrews]

Dear all,

Got it now I think. Will try and blog it when I'm done to share the knowledge.

I am re-writing a plugin for managing a Creative Commons record label
I wrote ages ago with all my own custom SQL database records, and even
my own customised tags, title filters, RSS feeds, custom template
loader and post style loops and so on. Reviewing the code now, it is
incredible the lengths I went to in order to get things to work - it
feels weird when so much time went into it, but I am literally
blanking whole files to start from scratch. The plugin currently has
4,064 lines of code - I wonder how many it will have when I am done. I
am guess maybe a quarter of this.

Anyone interested in helping out to make the transition easy, then
great! Drop me an e-mail.

Wordpress is so impressive because you get so much "for free" when you
use the Custom Post API.

All the best,

Alex
