it's hard for me to tell if that custom_detail_post_labels() function<br>
is less official than, say, the register_post_type function. Both look<br>
similarly clean, or hackish, depending on your milage. It could very<br>
well be "official but undocumented".<br>
<br>
Now, I don't know how widely spread this particular piece of code is,<br>
but as you can see, it's circulating. Just a bit of wishful thinking:<br>
for a theme designer, it would be great to have a "popular wisdom"<br>
section in the Codex that would document such methods (with a<br>
disclaimer telling that it's not officially supported), and some<br>
rating and comments system that would allow to measure the general<br>
usefulness and popularity of such recipes (similarly to the plugins).<br>
<br>
Or is wordpress.stackexchange supposed to do exactly that? Maybe, but<br>
I think it would be good to centralize things more. Stackexchange is<br>
useful, but extremely disorganized. Having to hunt for information<br>
between Codex, stackexchange, forums and personal developer blogs can<br>
induce schizophrenia after some time.<br>
