Custom Post Type and Taxonomy Permalink Rewrite in WordPress 3.0.1

0 Views

I have a ‘story’ Custom Post Type and ‘artist’, writer’ Taxonomies.

I need to set rewrite rules in the functions.php for the permalinks to look like this:

Artist (Taxonomy/Category):
http://www.example.com/isaac-deutscher
(/%artist%)

Writer (Taxonomy/Category):
http://www.example.com/jean-paul-sartre
(/%writer%)

Story (Custom Post Type):
http://www.example.com/issac-deutscher/jean-paul-sartre/the-cat-is-under-the-table
(/%artist%/%writer%/%story%)

I have tried some code I found in blogs without success, and can’t figure out how to solve this.

I’m working in WordPress 3.0.1

  1. This does the trick for Story and Artist, but not for Writer:

    add_action('init', 'custom_init');
add_filter('post_type_link', 'story_permalink', 10, 3);

function custom_init(){  
    $story = array(  
    'query_var' => true,
    'rewrite' => false,
    );
    $artist = array(
    'query_var' => true,
    'rewrite' => true
    );
    $writer = array(
        'query_var' => true,
        'rewrite' => true
    );  

    register_post_type('story', $story);
    register_taxonomy('artist', 'story', $artist);
    register_taxonomy('writer', 'story', $writer);

    global $wp_rewrite;
    $story_structure = '/%artist%/%writer%/%story%';
    $wp_rewrite->add_rewrite_tag("%story%", '([^/]+)', "story=");
    $wp_rewrite->add_permastruct('story', $story_structure, false);
}

function story_permalink($permalink, $post_id, $leavename){
    $post = get_post($post_id);

    $rewritecode = array(
    '%artist%',
    '%writer%',
    $leavename? '' : '%postname%',
    $leavename? '' : '%pagename%',
    );

    if('' != $permalink && !in_array($post->post_status, array('draft', 'pending', 'auto-draft'))){

        if (strpos($permalink, '%artist%') !== FALSE){
        $terms = wp_get_object_terms($post->ID, 'artist');  
        if (!is_wp_error($terms) && !empty($terms) && is_object($terms[0])) $artist = $terms[0]->slug;
        else $artist = 'unassigned-artist';         
        }

    if (strpos($permalink, '%writer%') !== FALSE){
        $terms = wp_get_object_terms($post->ID, 'writer');  
        if (!is_wp_error($terms) && !empty($terms) && is_object($terms[0])) $writer = $terms[0]->slug;
        else $writer = 'unassigned-writer';         
    }           

    $rewritereplace = array(
        $artist,
        $writer,
        $post->post_name,
        $post->post_name,
    );
    $permalink = str_replace($rewritecode, $rewritereplace, $permalink);
    }
    else{
    }
    return $permalink;
}

    Hope it helps.
