Using WP-dTree with custom post types

  • Hello,
    I was wondering if there was a way to use the WP-dTree Pages with custom post types instead of pages.

    The main purpose is to get a treeview of hierarchical custom post types the way the WP-dTree Pages widget do.
    I tried various solutions, eventually use the WP-dTree Menu in conjunction with an auto-submenu plugin, but it’s not really convincing.

    I found on this link the beginnings of a reply, however, it seems the code has changed since, so I have trouble to make it work.

    Any info much appreciated ?? Thanks!

    So I found one imperfect solution, but it worked and suited enough my needs :
    within wp-dtree-pge.php, below
    – $pageresults = get_pages(array(
    I just added
    – ‘post_type’ = > ‘MYCUSTOMPOSTTYPE’,
    without changing anything else.

    The WP-dTree Pages widget now would just search for MYCUSTOMPOSTTYPE custom post types to fill the list.
    I could not make all options work, but these ones perfectly do:
    – folders are links
    – highlight selection
    – open to selection
    – sort by “Menu Order”

    It’s imperfect so if there still is a better way to proceed, I’ll take it ! ??

    Thank you for this solution, do you think it could be possible to have 2 trees for 2 custom post types.

    Thanks again,

    I’m pretty sure it is possible but you’ll have to change either the plugin code (which is highly above my skills) or use (and sacrifice) another wp-dtree-XXX.php (like the category one).
    In this last solution, I suggest trying to copypaste the whole code of wp-dtree-pge.php to the one you’re willing to sacrifice. Unfortunately I do not remember if it is necessary to change something somewhere else.

    … wouldn’t it be easier to just use the WP-dTree Archive widget and use the Specify Post type-setting?

    Thanks for the reply.
    I used the archive widget to set the post type and works ok but with the archive functionality but not like pages (with subpages and custom order). I modified the pages file to use with custom post type and it works nicely. But soon I will be needing multiple trees for multiple post types.
    I cloned the whole plugin and changed all the function names but doest work. Upon activation only one version works.

    This a really great plugin by tha way.
