Custom Post types

  • I’m trying to create a custom post type (e.g. “Products”) which I have succeeded in doing but there is a bit of extra I want to add which I’m struggling to find in the docs.

    1. I want to add a price field to the post type.

    2. Is there a way to add multiple product images?

    Taxonomies doesn’t seem to be the right approach…

    OK I’ve successfully added the custom meta field “price” but I would now like to add multiple images. It would ideally be similar to how wp e-commerce does it.

    Basically display the attached images on the “add new product” page in admin area and add functionality to delete or add new images.

    Does anyone know of a good, easy-to-follow tutorial anywhere?

    WordPress has a built in gallery feature,….. is that not doing what you want?

    The gallery isn’t a bad option but I want to automatically call the attached images without having to physically add a gallery in the post.

    My issue right now is calling the first ordered image attachment to my custom post. I want to list my custom posts with the image and title for each one.

    My template is as follows so far: https://pastebin.com/559zV1v0
    [custom post type is actually ‘marquees’]

    Basically my code wants to go:

    query all the posts with post type='marquees'

start the loop

if the post has a featured image, output it.
elseif it doesn't have featured image output the 1st image attachment

output the post title

next post

end loop
