More Types vs Simply Show Hooks

More Types is a WordPress plugin that adds new post types to the WordPress admin. For instance, if you run a music site you could create a review post type (based on the post). If you run a food blog you could create a post type for recipes. If you use More Fields in addition to More Types you could for instance add an input field where you put the ingredients and another where you input cooking time. With More Types you can: Create additional post types Allow different WordPress User roles to have different rights to review, save, and publish a specific post type (even built in post types) List posts in specific menus in the WordPress admin Set a range of editing capabilities of the post type based on user level More Types is part of a suite of plugins created to enhance the functionality of a vanilla WordPress installation. With More Fields you can create additional input fields for easier management of Custom fields, with More Taxonomies you can create additional taxonomies besides Categories and Tags. More Types works without the other plugins but interacts with them nicely. This plugins was born out of the development work done for Dagensskiva, Dagensbok and user requests. Upgrading from More Fields 1.x? If you’re upgrading from More Fields 1.x you need to take a couple of steps to continue working with your already defined Post Types. Upgrade to More Fields 1.5.1 (this prepares the More Fields fields and Post types for WP 3.0) Update to WordPress 3.0 still using More Fields 1.5.1 Upgrade to More Fields 2.0 Install More Types 1.0

Up until now the way theme and plugin developers find where to hook into with their add_action() and add_filter() functions is either to search through the WordPress code base, or find find a reference to the hook in the codex. What Simply Show Hooks does is give you a simpler way to see these hooks by displaying them in-line on the page that you are on. All that’s left to do then is copy the hook you need, and paste it in to your add_action and add_filter functions like this: add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_enqueue_scripts_action’ ); add_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘my_the_title_filter’ ); I made this plugin so I could find WordPress hooks quicker and I use it all the time, so I thought I’d share it and see if it could help others. Enjoy! Please note that in odd cases, due to the nature of actions and filters, the plugin may display a hook in place that disrupts the display of your site – in which case we always display the ‘Hide Hooks’ button so you can switch it back off. This won’t disrupt the look of you site to anyone but you so don’t worry.
