custom post type with meta box and custom field taxonomy WordPress
- SOLVED
Im looking for a solution to this.
i want the meta boxes on the custom post type screen, instead of using the array of options like it is now, to populate for each term, so for the genre meta box, have it get a list of genre terms, and so on for all the custom fields.
also on the post screen i dont want to list each term box on the right, just want the tags and categories for the post type to be there.
here is the code on pastebin

I guess I am confused. Why are you creating taxonomies during your setup and then turn around and use a meta box with custom fields to store the same information.
Why not just use the taxonomy fields during the custom post?
If you want to control the presentation of the available terms by taxonomy - the get_terms function will let you select list from the terms already in the database. (You'll also want to hide the taxonomy meta boxes)
Then instead of storing the chosen term in a custom field - you would use wp_set_object_terms to create the relationship between your custom post object and the selected terms/taxonomies.
chrismccoy comments:
i was doing a regular post, with custom fields before, so thats why the meta boxes are like that (taken from before i had a custom post type), i want to convert them to the new custom post types, without custom fields.
Tom Ransom comments:
Here is the revised code: http://pastebin.com/sAFnbgeb
I modified your meta_fields table to add a new type 'taxonomy'
I hid the UI for the taxonomies - other than category and tags
There is a new function that compares the selected terms with the available terms in a taxonomy to get the dropdown select list.
The save_post_data function only needs to save the title - WordPress does the rest of the work.
chrismccoy comments:
2 things.
i want to show the terms on the ui, just not on the post page on the right, so i can add more for each, genre, playerbase, etc.
and i need the gamerlist shortcode modified for a query for custom post type.
if you can do those 2 things, then i will award the funds.
thx!
Tom Ransom comments:
Just change the value of show-ui in each taxonomy to true.
then Add -
remove_meta_box('XXXdiv', 'post', 'normal');
where XXX is the taxonomy id (e.g. xprate) - this will remove the boxes from the edit post page but keep them in the admin sidebar
fix your query by replacing the term meta_key=gamer_score with taxonomy=score
These are both beyond the scope of your first question FWIW.
chrismccoy comments:
ok almost done, for the query i added that, is their anything i need to change to query the variables?
can you post some code ?
thx

<strong>This plugin has already registered meta box for "review" post type</strong>. When I tried it on my theme, the meta box didn't show. But when I changed theme to TwentyTen, it worked! If your meta box doesn't show at all, maybe the problem is your theme. Try another theme for testing. (see the meta box in my attached image)
To hide boxes on the right, you can just deselect them in Screen Options (on the top of screen). This way let you use these settings later. But if you really want to <strong>remove all of these boxes</strong>, you can comment out lines from 94 to 223 (end of function) in the plugin, like this:
