Thanks a lot. Here we are: you can now use custom posts in the fresh 2.1 release 🙂 Enjoy!

Oh yeah: could you also vote for my plugin please?

Well first thanks a lot for the effort! Your contribution is very clear.

Indeed, I wondered for a while if I had to implement the tree-hierarchy you suggested, which led me to some reflection in that direction; I thought not so many people would need something so complex, and that is mainly why I declined, though it is very much doable.

The easiest way of providing that kind of functionnality should be to create a custom taxonomy, that is to say that the user would create is own taxonomy, exactly like he creates the categories and subcategories of posts. Because if I work with your own list of sub-sub-sub aso, it might be wonderful for you, but inaccurate for some other user 🙂

The custom taxonomy lets you choose your own tree divisions, you see what I mean? I also thought about the point of choosing roman or letters or arabic numbering for each sub, which is more complex than it seems. For example someone might want to organize a toc like this:
I
1)
a)
b)
2) aso
but some others like this:
I
I-1
I-1-a
I-1-b
I-2
and how can we be sure to provide enough possibilities for example if the depth reaches more than 10 levels? It requires also some reflexion…

Anyway how could it work properly? Let’s think about it.

For example, the idea would be to organize the levels of depth exactly like it works in the menu page of WordPress admin. And then giving the possibility of numbering each part exactly as one wants would be nice.

This is a very interesting idea for sure; I’d like to keep ‘Chapters’ simple as it is, but after all why not creating another plugin called ‘Books’, very much more specific?… Still I’m afraid the lot of manipulation it requires from the user would not be a good thing.

Please tell me more, give a feedback reply and more details of what you expect ok? We’ll see then.

Thanks in advance!

OK?
