[wp-testers] Custom Post Type with Meta Box - Permalink and Presentation Problems

[Jamie Oastler]

Deanna gave an excellent example for #1 with a template_redirect action.

For the second item, I have tried the following code which *should*
work on two different servers and both result in a blank page display
of the admin. Adding rewrite => false will have the post type menu,
but not any permalinks.

// Register custom post type - Manager
register_post_type('manager', array(
	'label' => __('Managers'),
	'singular_label' => __('Manager'),
	'public' => true,
	'show_ui' => true, // UI in admin panel
	'capability_type' => 'post',
	'hierarchical' => false,
	'query_var' => "manager", // This goes to the WP_Query schema
	'supports' => array('title' ,'thumbnail' /*'excerpt', 'editor'
,'custom-fields'*/)
));
