| sanji41 | Hi guys! I am following voodoo tutorial about front end posting, but on the tutorial it only shows using a post page or page. What I want is to use a custom post types with 15 fields on it. I can display it from the backend with no problem, but coming from front end it won’t grab my custom fields. If anyone has an experience on this I’ll be happy if you can lead me to the right path. Thanks! |

| Rev. Voodoo | Since I don’t know what your code looks like, I have to start off simple. When registering your post type in functions.php, did you add custom_fields in the supports parameter? |

| sanji41 | Fortunately I managed to work it through. Following your tutorial of course! |

| Rev. Voodoo | Nope, I’ve never seen that! But I’ll definitely look into it, that could be pretty cool! |

| sanji41 | yeah, here is the site I am talking about |

| sanji41 | yeah, here is the site I am talking about Designfloat I am wondering if it’s a plugin or something. Let me know what you think dude! |

| Rev. Voodoo | Well, that’s definitely not a WordPress site, so I can’t see what is going on by investigating the source code. Cool feature though, I’ll try looking around and see if I can stumble on anything for WP. It shouldn’t be hard… plugins like feedwordpress make posts from RSS feeds. It would be the same posting mechanism, just grabbing the info from a link ratehr than feed. |

| sanji41 | How’d you know it’s not a WP site? Here’s another one, http://rawloop.com/ I’ve seen some post from feeds and though about it. But you’re the expert |

| Rev. Voodoo | My friend, I am far from an expert!! I just stumble through things I need to do, and then share what I learned! Rawloop isn’t WP either. I can usually tell if a site is WP or not just by viewing the source code from within the browser. WP spits out some signature stuff. But you can also use certain websites, like ismyblogworking.com which will give you info about a website, such as software, theme, server, etc. |

| sanji41 | Hey Rev, |

| sanji41 | code didn’t go through, this is the first one ‘post_category’ => array($_POST['post-type']), |
| December 6, 2011 at 7:00 am #923 | |
| Rev. Voodoo | I think it’s got something to do with the first bit of code. in the array you have post-type. Which I don’t think is right. Did you try it with just cat in there, like my example? or possibly project-type? You don’t want it to be post-type, that is only used to fill in the actual post_type parameter. |

| sanji41 | post-type is the one that I used on taxonomies, what do you think should I use then? |
| December 6, 2011 at 7:25 am #925 | |
| Rev. Voodoo | your taxonomy is registered as project-type right? IT is registered to the post-type. So I would think you want to use the name of your taxonomy here, not the name of your post-type. So you are passing taxonomy to the category, and post-type to post_type in the processing code. |
