Great article.

Custom Post types are much needed if anyone wants to extend the capabilities of WordPress. I’m planning up for a coupon site and I definitely need CPTs.

I used Types till now, but I think I will start to try to create Custom Post Types in WordPress by myself and your example code is a good help.

I’m having the same thought! I am coding several sites with a bunch of different custom post types. I’m using them for perfectly good CMS reasons. They are things like “Products” and “Customer Orders”. It’s a nightmare! Permalinks broken, bad documentation. I’m going back to using regular posts, and putting anything else I need into the post meta data and using private functions to manipulate the data. I started using WordPress hardcore about two years ago, and I wish I had focues on Rails or something else. 🙁

I have decided not to go ahead as it is still not mature enough and involves too much of hacking with WP/theme code.

The permalinks are still not sorted out as the permalink settings do not apply to the custom post type. Even if category is enabled, there is no simple way to get the category name in the URL.
