Hi I have used the taxonomy picker plugin to try to select the page templates I have created using custom fields, but it only picks the content that is in the page editor and not the content in the template. Question is this possible.

I have been waiting for this ever since I read the Custom Post Type article a few weeks ago. Great info. Just today I was trying to figure out how to pull a title for my archive and your reply to Paul did the trick.

Can you please tell me how you created that movie database main page template to show that all movies in a separate boxes? And how you accessed the database with that custom search basis (like those with Tom Hanks)?

Many thanks, that was really easy and I had successfully created 6+ additional taxonomies for better classification of products.

Oh and it would also be good if those custom queries could go to a search engine friendly url, something like.

Thanks for this well written tutorial.

Here’s a question, is it possible to create a page that queries multiple taxonomies?

Using your example, say I wanted to find all the movies that were produced by Stephen Spielbierg IN the genre Fantasy.

So basically sort by multiple taxonomies.

Another thought! (sorry)

A way around this (seemingly overly-complex) methodology I posted above might be to just associate images with taxonomy terms and keep it like your example. HOWEVER, what do you do in the case of Daniel Petrie Jr. in your Turner & Hooch example? How do you make it so you can click on him in either taxonomy and get to the same Daniel Petrie Jr. archive that displays ALL his credits (not just his writing credits or just his producing credits)?

Sorry to double post – just wanted to add that as examples, this type of functionality exists on funnyordie.com and vimeo.com
