Transfer CPT's from Thesis to Metro-Pro

[Elaine Griffin]

Hello,
I'm trying to transfer some CPT's created in Thesis to my customization of Metro-Pro.
I know very little about CPT's, so this has been challenging. The client does not plan to use the CPT's anymore, but she wants to keep them because she has so many links out there.
This is the code from Thesis:

/* Custom Post Type */
	add_filter('thesis_show_headline_area', 'aside_headline');
	add_filter('request', 'main_feed_additions');
	add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'cpts_in_queries' );
/*
	add_action('thesis_hook_content_box_top','aside_callout');
	remove_action('thesis_hook_custom_template', 'thesis_custom_template_sample');
	add_action('thesis_hook_custom_template', 'aside_list');
*/
	add_action('thesis_hook_custom_template', 'britt_email_list');

And this is what I have found and tried to modify:

/** Add Custom Post Types */
 
add_action( 'init', 'create_post_type' );
function create_post_type() {
register_post_type( 'aside_headline',
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'Asides' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'Aside' )
),
'public' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'asides'),
)
);
}
/**
* add Genesis layout options to custom posts types
*
* @author Brian Lis
* @link http://dev.studiopress.com/genesis-layout-options-for-custom-post-types.htm
*/
 
add_post_type_support( 'asides', 'genesis-layouts' );

Any direction here would be greatly appreciated!

Elaine, you've gotten a good start in moving the CPT registration over, although your add_post_type_support is unnecessary, as that could be incorporated into the CPT creation function above. Here's a nifty CPT Generator tool, which is more than you really need, but can help you organize a bit and see where to add support for things like the Genesis Layouts, etc.

That first batch of lines looks like it's all affecting output, either the query itself, or the appearance, although you'd need to dig out the actual functions to see what it is they're doing. And if you want to keep what they're doing, you would need to replace the Thesis hooks with either WP ones or Genesis ones, depending on what you're doing. For instance, thesis_hook_content_box_top could correspond to genesis_before_entry, but that's just a guess. Here's a great Genesis hooks reference, if that helps.

Hope that helps you get started, at least. Good luck!
