Re: WordPress 3.0 – Custom Post Types and Meta Boxes

Ryan,

The "show the posts in the main loop" part is just saying that if you want the custom post type to show up in your main posts loop (say in the index.php, or home.php loop, you’ll have to create a custom query as is in last section of code.

Thanks for moving it, and the compliments!

TheDoc,

I’ll look into trying that out in a bit, I think that could be cool…

Though I believe if you weren’t using the post thumbnail you could just utilize the "featured image" and post_thumbnail to accomplish what you might want…
