Hi Steve. Thank you so much for all the awesome support. As you may have noticed — through my recent activity on different fronts — I am working on figuring out how to best structure my blog data for a multi language, multi domain blog-add-on to an existing asp website. So far so good, I got my posts lining up: FilmFix Blog. I also got now my Piklist “check box” working.

<?php
/*
Title: Blog/Post Type
Post Type: blog
Order: 0
*/

 piklist('field', array(
    'type' => 'group'
    ,'field' => 'blog_list'
    ,'label' => __('', 'blog')
    ,'list' => false
    ,'fields' => array(
      array(
        'type' => 'select'
        ,'field' => 'select_com'
        ,'value' => 'com'
        ,'choices' => array(
			'com' => __('com', 'blog')
			,'ch' => __('ch', 'blog')
			,'net' => __('net', 'blog')
        )
        ,'columns' => 3
      )
      ,array(
        'type' => 'select'
        ,'field' => 'select_ser'
        ,'value' => '8mm'
        ,'choices' => array(
			'8' => __('8mm', 'blog')
			,'16' => __('16mm', 'blog')
			,'slide' => __('slide', 'blog')
			,'tape' => __('tape', 'blog')
			,'dvd' => __('dvd', 'blog')
			,'other' => __('other', 'blog')
        )
        ,'columns' => 4
      )
      ,array(
        'type' => 'select'
        ,'field' => 'select_l'
        ,'value' => 'e'
        ,'choices' => array(
          'e' => 'English'
          ,'g' => 'German'
          ,'f' => 'French'
        )
        ,'columns' => 3
      )
    )
  ));

Note: I did not remove Double Underscores “__” in the code.

I am generating the api data with WordPress, using a defined post type in CPT UI. I was using Custom Fields to generate WordPress taxonomies for the different posts, but decided to switch to Piklist taxonomies instead. How can I get the Piklist taxonomies into the api data? (Before the switch I could see the taxonomy data. Now it is missing…)

I noticed, it looks like the taxonomies are not making it to the wp_term_taxonomy table, but somehow are getting stored somewhere else!?! However, I do see piklist_demo_type data in the table, so somehow I need to figure out how to add new taxonomies to my defined post type.

For later: how can I add taxonomy filters to my defined post type list?

Do you suggest I keep each post as it’s own individual post (a new one for each language, to keep pretty permalinks and other WordPress functionalities in place – … and for speed,) and later find a way to cross-link them in the back-end UI? This would be best, I suppose, to link posts and languages linked.

Somehow I just can’t get control over setting taxonomies to my defined “blog” plug-in (custom post type.)

This doc page helps, but I am missing how-to steps for these lines:

Create a function with your Taxonomy parameters. (example is missing)
Hook it to the piklist_taxonomies filter. (example is missing)

This is what I have for my plug-in blog.php file:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Blogs
Text Domain: blogs
Description: Used to control Taxonomies for Blogs.
Text Domain: blogs
Domain Path: /blogs
*/  
   
add_filter('piklist_taxonomies', 'blog_taxonomies');
	function blog_taxonomies($taxonomies)
	{
		$taxonomies[] = array(
			'object_type' => 'ff_language'
			,'name' => 'ff_language'
			,'configuration' => array(
				'hierarchical' => true
				,'labels' => piklist('taxonomy_labels', 'Language Selected')
				,'show_ui' => true
				,'query_var' => true
				,'rewrite' => array(
					'slug' => 'blog-type'
				)
				,'show_admin_column' => true
				,'list_table_filter' => true
			)
		);

		return $taxonomies;
	} 

and here is my /meta-box somefile.php file:

<?php
/*
Title: Blog/Post Type
Post Type: blog
Order: 0
*/

 piklist('field', array(
    'type' => 'group'
    ,'field' => 'gr'
    ,'list' => false
    ,'fields' => array(	
      array(
        'type' => 'select'
		,'scope' => 'taxonomy'
        ,'field' => 'ff_language'
        ,'choices' => piklist(
			  get_terms('ff_language', array(
				'hide_empty' => false
			  ))
			  ,array(
				'term_id'
				,'name'
			  )
			)
        ,'columns' => 4
      ), 
      array(
        'type' => 'select'
		,'scope' => 'taxonomy'
        ,'field' => 'ff_nav'
        ,'value' => 'other'
        ,'choices' => array(
			'8' => '8mm'
			,'16' => '16mm'
			,'slides' => 'slide'
        )
        ,'columns' => 4
      )
      ,array(
        'type' => 'select'
		,'scope' => 'taxonomy'
        ,'field' => 'ff_domain'
        ,'value' => 'any'
        ,'choices' => array(
			'any' => 'any'
			,'com' => 'only .com'
			,'ch' => 'only .ch'
        )
        ,'columns' => 4
      )
  ));

at this point only the first select “pretends” to be linked to a taxonomy; however, making changes to the select is not sticking if clicking on “Save Draft” or “Publish.”
