You are correct at keeping it as an option. I have worked extensively with custom post-types and taxonomies. For me at least I keep all of the logic within my theme’s functions.php file instead of plugins. The upside to this is that when the theme is activated everything is automatically there. The downside is that you can’t help someone with their own theme very easily.
Now that said, post-types are very powerful. Here are just a few examples of how I use them. (keep in mind my artistic ability is not so great. Once I get the functionality finished I will hire a design expert, so please be kind)
1. Sermon video post type.
http://jerrygaffney.net/sermons/
2. Sermon audio post type.
http://jerrygaffney.net/podcasts/
3. Preacher bio pages
http://jerrygaffney.net/preachers/
4. church location pages
http://jerrygaffney.net/locations/Now I have taken this a bit farther than normal in that I have multi-directional relationships setup between the post types. Meaning that sermons are related to preachers and locations. Podcasts are also related to sermons, preachers and locations.
This allows separation of content type and design per type. What it also gives me the ability to do is have a user add a sermon video and then be able to select the ’preacher, location, and podcast’ that belong to that sermon. (multi-relational)
This way when a new sermon is added the user does not have to input the preacher or location each time a new post is created. They simply choose from the existing ones.
Another example:
http://jerrygaffney.net/user-testimonies/This is gravity forms that allow a user to submit their testimony which is also a post-type. The post is set for moderation by the admin. So the pastor simply logs in and sees the new submissions, and publishes the ones they want. I then have an index page showing the site testimonies at:
http://jerrygaffney.net/testimonies/You will also notice the sidebar on most pages has testimonies. I am simply using a random pull from the post-type for display.
Other ideas:
By separating out to post-types, we can have separate site areas for devotionals which cleans up the posts area. By going this route, instead of using category, tag separation, it becomes easier to control the have_posts() output, and of course templating is easier. It also makes rss feeds per type easier.I’m really looking forward to trying out the Scripture reading plan plugin you are using here as well. I plan on using that plugin for our Men’s and Women’s and children’s Bible study groups.
Ultimately my idea by using so many post types is that it will make displaying related content much easier. Say a user wants to find all the video’s, audio podcasts, blog posts, devotionals, pastors-notes, and forum posts about ’healing’. It would be a simple matter of applying a custom taxonomy to relate them all and then pull in the custom loops together.
I do have a few other ideas which I will try to share later. I’m actually in church right now running the video/audio so it’s hard to concentrate on both.
Hope these ideas help spur on some ideas.
