Yeah, if you’re just Average Joe looking for a quick, non-custom solution, which kind of defeats the purpose of most custom post types. That plugin is cool if you just want to do something like that.
Outside of that, you actually have to write the code for custom post types.
I really liked this idea too. It opens many possibilities… imagine, for example, a repository of custom post types? If somebody have already generated a movie custom post type, save it… and in the future other people could re-generate the code again without feeling the form again.
It’s an idea that can become better and better… and many similar code-generation ideas could be used as an option to plugins. The developer now choose… use plugin or code-generation tool?
I didn’t know anything about custom post types before reading this. My blogs use always tags and categories but never custom types. I find it very interesting, especially for products, and will certainly give this plugin a try.
This plugin looked pretty simple to me but I tried and it works great for the normal stuff I usually do on my blog. I don’t think most people will ever need anything more sophisticated than this.
AWESOME! For general users, a plugin is great, but if you are trying to limit the number of plugins on your site, or just want to create one post type without all of the menu options to create another, this is awesome! Thanks for letting me know it is out there.
Really helpful. It bores me having to type all this code. I’ll give it try sometime.
there is already a good plugin

Actually, I just realized the plugin will generate the code for you too. That’s a much better approach than some others I’ve seen.
Great! How about a Custom Taxonomy generator to compliment?
No love for Brad Williams (author of the CPT UI plugin) in all the discussion, huh? *grin*
Roger Wilco: Brad’s plugin does that too.

Very nice, really!
obs: excuse-me for by bad english … where I wrote “feeling” should be “fill” or “filling”.

how to display the custom post types once they are created?
