Installation

The best way to use this package is through Composer:

composer require brightnucleus/custom-content

Basic Usage

Registering A New Custom Post Type

To register a new custom post type, you need to define it within a Config file. Default values can be found within config/defaults.php configuration. You then instantiate the CustomPostType class by injecting your Config into its constructor, and call its register() method.

Example:

<?php namespace CPT\Example;

use BrightNucleus\Config\ConfigFactory;
use BrightNucleus\CustomContent\CustomPostType;

// You can of course load your Config from a file. We create one directly here
// to make the example clearer.
$config = ConfigFactory::create( [

 	// This configuration key represents the slug of the CPT.
	'example' => [

		// For most localization needs, it should be sufficient to only provide
		// these four name variants. The Custom Content component will figure
		// out the rest.
		Argument::NAMES => [
			Name::SINGULAR_NAME_UC => _x('Example', 'post type uc singular name', 'cpt-example'),
			Name::SINGULAR_NAME_LC => _x('example', 'post type lc singular name', 'cpt-example'),
			Name::PLURAL_NAME_UC   => _x('Examples', 'post type uc plural name', 'cpt-example'),
			Name::PLURAL_NAME_LC   => _x('examples', 'post type lc plural name', 'cpt-example'),
		],

		// Here, we register the taxonomy we'll later create with our new custom
		// post type.
		Argument::TAXONOMIES => [ 'taxexample' ],

		// We also add some supported features to the custom post type.
		Argument::SUPPORTS => [
			Feature::TITLE,
			Feature::AUTHOR,
			Feature::REVISIONS,
			Feature::COMMENTS,
			Feature::THUMBNAIL,
		],
	],
] );

// Create a new `CustomPostType` instance configured by our new Config file.
$example_cpt = new CustomPostType( $config );

// Register this new custom post type with WordPress.
// Note that CPTs should always be registered within the `init` hook.
add_action( 'init', [ $example_cpt, 'register' ] );

Registering A New Custom Taxonomy

To register a new custom taxonomy, you need to define it within a Config file. Default values can be found within config/defaults.php configuration. You then instantiate the CustomTaxonomy class by injecting your Config into its constructor, and call its register() method.

Example:

<?php namespace Tax\Example;

use BrightNucleus\Config\ConfigFactory;
use BrightNucleus\CustomContent\CustomTaxonomy;

// You can of course load your Config from a file. We create one directly here
// to make the example clearer.
$config = ConfigFactory::create( [

 	// This configuration key represents the slug of the CPT.
 	'taxexample' => [

		// For most localization needs, it should be sufficient to only provide
		// these four name variants. The Custom Content component will figure
		// out the rest.
		Argument::NAMES => [
			Name::SINGULAR_NAME_UC => _x('TaxExample', 'taxonomy uc singular name', 'tax-example'),
			Name::SINGULAR_NAME_LC => _x('taxexample', 'taxonomy lc singular name', 'tax-example'),
			Name::PLURAL_NAME_UC   => _x('TaxExamples', 'taxonomy uc plural name', 'tax-example'),
			Name::PLURAL_NAME_LC   => _x('taxexamples', 'taxonomy lc plural name', 'tax-example'),
		],

		// Here, we register the taxonomy with our previously created custom
		// post type.
		Argument::POST_TYPES => [ 'example' ],
	],
] );

// Create a new `CustomTaxonomy` instance configured by our new Config file.
$example_tax = new CustomTaxonomy( $config );

// Register this new custom taxonomy with WordPress.
// Note that Taxonomies should always be registered within the `init` hook.
add_action( 'init', [ $example_tax, 'register' ] );

Registering Several Custom Content Elements At Once

To register several custom content elements at once, you can instantiate a CustomContent object and pass it a Config with all of your custom post types and taxonomies included.

The format of the Config is similar to the singular Configs above, with the distinction that it starts with a key for each type of custom content after the prefix. The different slugs are then children of the corresponding content type.

Known content types are:

  • CustomPostType
  • CustomTaxonomy

Example:

<?php namespace CustomContent\Example;

use BrightNucleus\Config\ConfigFactory;
use BrightNucleus\CustomContent\CustomContent;
use BrightNucleus\CustomContent\CustomPostType\Argument as CPTArgument;
use BrightNucleus\CustomContent\CustomTaxonomy\Argument as TaxArgument;

// You can of course load your Config from a file. We create one directly here
// to make the example clearer.
$config = ConfigFactory::create( [

	// In this example, we want to register two custom post types (`book` &
	// `magazine`) as well as two custom taxonomies related to these
	// (`publisher`, `shelf`).

	'CustomPostType' => [
		'book'       => [
			// Arguments to define a book.
			// [...]
			CPTArgument::TAXONOMIES => [ 'publisher', 'shelf' ],
		],
		'magazine'   => [
			// Arguments to define a magazine.
			// [...]
			CPTArgument::TAXONOMIES => [ 'publisher', 'shelf' ],
		],
	],

	'CustomTaxonomy' => [
		'publisher'  => [
			// Arguments to define a publisher.
			// [...]
			TaxArgument::POST_TYPES => [ 'book', 'magazine' ],
		],
		'shelf'      => [
			// Arguments to define a publisher.
			// [...]
			TaxArgument::POST_TYPES => [ 'book', 'magazine' ],
		],
	],
] );

// Create a new `CustomContent` instance configured by our new Config file.
$custom_content = new CustomContent( $config );

// Register this new custom content with WordPress.
add_action( 'init', [ $custom_content, 'register' ] );

About Rewrite Rules

If your custom content includes pretty permalinks, you will need to flush the rewrite rules.

NOTE: You need to take care that you only flush the rewrite rules once, not on every page request.

The best way to achieve this is to hook into plugin activation, register your custom content, and then call flush_rewrite_rules() from within that hook.

Example:

<?php namespace CustomContent\Example;

use BrightNucleus\Config\ConfigFactory;
use BrightNucleus\CustomContent\CustomContent;

function register_custom_content() {
    static $custom_content;

    if ( null === $custom_content ) {
		$config = ConfigFactory::create( __DIR__ . '/config/custom_content.php' );
		$custom_content = new CustomContent( $config );
	}

    $custom_content->register();
}
add_action( 'init', __NAMESPACE__ . '\\register_custom_content' );

function flush_rewrite_rules() {
	cc_example_register_custom_content();
	flush_rewrite_rules();
}
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, __NAMESPACE__ . '\\flush_rewrite_rules' );
