Custom Listing Types¶

You can either define your custom listing post types in source code by following steps in the Custom Listing Post Types chapter or you can use GUI to create them in the WP admin in section “Horizon > Listing Types”.

Each listing type is defined by its:

plural name
singular name
unique identifier
URL slug
allowed purchasing flag
allowed claiming flag
predefined metaboxes
custom metaboxes

New Listing type is available immediately after its creation. New listing can be created navigation to “Horizon > Listings” or using Submission System.

Warning

After registering post type do not forget to resave permalinks. This task could be done by visiting “Settings - Permalinks” page in WordPress administration.

Note

You will need to add metaboxes (and fields) to the new listing type using metabox manager in “Horizon > Metaboxes”, read more about it in chapter Custom Metaboxes.
