Custom filters and actions for post_types rewrite urls

[butuzov]

Hi.

Can developers get a filter for {$args->rewriteslug?}/%$post_type% ?
and few do actions after?

let me be clear.

we (developers) can't change this rewrite's for custom needs, and we can't add after that custom variables.

here is code that we have now.

if ( $args->hierarchical )
	$wp_rewrite->add_rewrite_tag("%$post_type%", '(.+?)', $args->query_var ? "{$args->query_var}=" : "post_type=$post_type&name=");
else
	$wp_rewrite->add_rewrite_tag("%$post_type%", '([^/]+)', $args->query_var ? "{$args->query_var}=" : "post_type=$post_type&name=");
			
$wp_rewrite->add_permastruct($post_type, "{$args->rewrite['slug']}/%$post_type%", $args->rewrite['with_front'], $args->permalink_epmask);

its can be replaces by the code

something like this

$wp_rewrite->add_rewrite_tag("%$post_type%", 
	$args->hierarchical ? '(.+?)' : '([^/]+)', 
	$args->query_var ? "{$args->query_var}=" : "post_type=$post_type&name=");
	
$wp_rewrite->add_permastruct($post_type, 
	apply_filters("rewrite_base_custom_{$post_type}", "{$args->rewrite['slug']}/%$post_type%"), 
	$args->rewrite['with_front'], 
	$args->permalink_epmask);

do_actions("rewrite_base_custom_actions_{$post_type}");

Forgot to tell
this is a wp-includes/post.php
function register_post_type

As a plugin author, you may set rewrite to false for the post_type registration, and call $wp_rewrite->add_rewrite_tag() / $wp_rewrite->add_permastruct() with as many complex structures as you wish.

IMO, The permalink support included in core should be as basic as possible, for this release at least. More complex permalink support (such as whats provided for posts) could be possible in a future release..

My suggestion is, that this be closed as wontfix, due to the much more powerful options being available...

Hi dd32.

I am not talking about add_permastruct, i working with custom post types right now, and inside register_post_type no any posible way to implrove it. This is a new feature and its can be better, so why not add a simple way in WP ideology to improve new features?

i havn't take a look to taxonomies. but i think there is can be few more improvements.

My point was, register_post_type() makes a BASIC and GENERIC add_permastruct() / add_Rewrite_tag() rewrite rule for your post_type.

Your plugin still needs to flush the rewrite rules on activation / adding of the post_type. At this stage, If the basic rewrite rules are not powerful enough for your purpose, you'll need to add a rewrite rules yourself to achieve it.

I'm moving this to 3.1 as 3.0 will have nothing other than a bare basics of URL routing for custom post_types.

+1 on setting 'rewrite' => false and defining rewrite rules yourself.

register_post_type() has too many arguments as it is.
