Create different custom tag taxonomies for each site in a network

  • Hi,
    I know how to create a custom tag taxonomy for a single site. But how do I create different taxonomies for each site on a network. As far as i can see, if I change (i.e. add taxonomies) the functions.php file, then this will affect all sites. I need to create different tag taxonomies for each site…..

    cheers

    only if you’re using the same theme on all sites.

    so roll the different ones into separate plugins.

    sorry, not sure i understand. I was simply going to add custom tag taxonomies via the functions.php file – are you saying it’s better to use plugins to do this that are setup (have different taxonomies) for each site on the network? If so, which plugin would you recommend?
    thanks

    I’m recommending you write those taxonomies that you would put in functions.php into your *own* plugin.

    Code in functions.php is the exact same as making a plugin. except it doesn’t have a plugin header and is not in the plugins folder.

    So if you have ten sites you want different taxonomies for… yes, you’ll have 10 little plugins.

    Ahh yes, I see!
    ON a related issue – I’m trying to catalogue archaeological objects – most of the objects date between 20,000 and 10,000 years ago. Is there any way to create tags for numbers or dates that can then be used to sort the data, in the same way that tags for words can?
    thanks

    Yes. Just.. make them. Maybe a date range?

    also, I hope you’re not reinventing any wheels with custom taxonomies. ?? categories and tags actually cover quite a bit.
