Apologies if this has been answered before -- it's a tricky subject to
search for in the wp-hackers archives.
Using the post_parent field, can you have a parent/child relationship
between two different hierarchical CPTs?
For example, let's say I have two CPTs, whose permalinks might look
something like the following when non-related to one another:
Parks -- http://example.com/parks/yosemite/
Features -- http//example.com/features/half-dome/
When related, could you have a URL like the following?
http://example.com/parks/yosemite/half-dome/
In practice, this doesn't work on our test site, although I believe our
register_post_type() call is correct and we have these properly related via
the post_parent field.
FYI -- before you propose using a custom taxonomy, we were proposing
different CPTs because each would be tracking different custom fields and
display different meta boxes. We could dynamically display/hide these
based on taxonomy, if needed; I'm still curious about the basic question
above.
Thanks in advance!
