Description

Allows a developer to easily define multiple featured-type instances for post types. These featured-type instances do not necessarily need to be named Featured, but is just another way to single out specific posts of a post type under a common label. When defining a featured type, a page will be added to the submenu of the post type you registered it for. This page is used to manage the order of the featured items and remove items that no longer should be featured.

Installation

As theme or plugin dependency:

After dropping the plugin into the containing theme or plugin, add the following:

<?php
if( ! class_exists( 'Voce_Featured_Posts' ) ) {
	require_once( $path_to_voce_featured_posts . '/voce-featured-posts.php' );
}
?>

Usage

Registering a Featured Type

Parameters

• $type_key (string) - A unique string used as the featured type key
• $type_name (string) - A string used as the title of the featured type
• $post_type (string) - Post type the featured type is being registered for
• $sortable (boolean) - Adds the ability to drag/drop sort the featured items on the management page

<?php
	Voce_Featured_Posts::add_type('new-featured-type', 'New Featured Type', 'post', )
?>

Getting the Featured Post ID's

Using the get_featured_ids() method of the Voce_Featured_Posts, you can retreive the featured ids of a specific featured type and either a single post type or an array of post types

<?php
	$featured_ids = Voce_Featured_Posts::get_featured_ids( 'post', 'new-featured-type' );
?>
