If you are referring to wpalchemy, it is only specific to meta box creation.

Hello,
Great custom meta box helper code you got here. I have been checking out your tool, but I wonder do I need to separately create custom post type or is there a better way to do it within your tools?
I have seen other that get you everything (post types and metaboxes in one place: http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/creative-coding/custom-post-type-helper-class/)

Thanks

Hi, do you have a tutorial on how to reverse the chronology of posts in the homepage from the oldest to the newest? Thanks.

Thanks very much for this. The menu showed up fine. I reset the permalinks. Now, I’m curious, since I didn’t CPT up when I first started (it’s a recipe blog), and now I’ve added a new ‘recipes’ CPT; do I just go in and transfer the content from the regular post type in to the custom recipe post type? And then erase original post?

@Kim, thanks for your comment, I will definitely checkout GASP, spamfree worked really well, but recently has started to let more SPAM comments through (akismet still catches them, but just more for me to deal with).

Great tutorial. Stopped by your blog after hyperarts linked to you and definitely will be back. I do a lot with thesis and so these kinda things come in handy.

PS: You asked in another post about spam control. I’ve had trouble with spamfree so I rely heavily on GASP (growmaps anti spambot plugin) which works well for stopping bot traffic.

@Mark B, try the following (adjust the $post_types array) ...

add_action('admin_menu','my_admin_menu');
 
function my_admin_menu()
{
	$post_options = new thesis_post_options;
 
	$post_options->meta_boxes();

	$post_types = array('location', 'my_first_post_type', 'my_second_post_type');
 
	foreach ($post_options->meta_boxes as $meta_name => $meta_box) 
	{
		foreach ($post_types as $type)
		{
			add_meta_box($meta_box['id'], $meta_box['title'], array('thesis_post_options', 'output_' . $meta_name . '_box'), $type, 'normal', 'high'); #wp
		}
	}
 
	add_action('save_post', array('thesis_post_options', 'save_meta')); #wp
}

I know this post is nearly a year old now but I have a question that i can’t seem to find an answer to.

I have multiple custom post types and I wish to add the thesis seo and meta boxes to all of them but I get a repeat error when I do. The first is fine and works perfectly using the code above. Unfortunately I cannot find a way to duplicate this for my other custom post types. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks

Rich, glade you got it all working, there typically is always a way to solve a problem, just have to look at it from different angles ... in terms of your hard coded issue you may try the following an see if that creates an accurate nonce:

wp_create_nonce(trim(TEMPLATEPATH . '/lib/admin/options_post.php', '/'));
