[wp-hackers] Custom Post - implementation specifics

[Doug Stewart]

My one HUGE request:

* Hierarchies for custom post types/taxonomies. (Slap me if I'm mixing
my metaphors and have the notion of custom post types all
whopperjawed...)

As of right now, if you register a custom taxonomy and want automatic
buy-in from WP's administrative interface, you HAVE to make it a flat
taxonomy. Hierarchical ones simply fail to register and no amount of
prodding seems to work.

I'd like to have the ability to have a single "ancestor" post with an
arbitrary number of related child and grandchild and great-grandchild
(et cetera) posts each with the potential to be another unique type.

So, for instance, in a simplistic use case, if I were to create a
"magazine" using WordPress, I could create "issues", each of which
could have "articles".  In a bit more complex of a metaphor, I could
have a daily "newspaper" with "issues", each of which had a "section"
that then proceeded to have "articles".

Am I making sense here?
