List of post_types, post_meta, taxonomies and term_meta

[carstingaxion]

To better understand the inner workings of the plugin (and its extensions) I'd like to have an overview about registered data AND their relations altogether, in particular:

• post_types
• taxonomies
• post_meta and term_meta

[slimndap]

Post types

• Productions: wp_theatre_prod
• Events: wp_theatre_event
• Season: wp_theatre_season

Registered here.

Taxonomies

No taxonomies are registered. Productions us the existing 'category' and 'post_tag' taxonomies.

Defined here.

Post meta

• Most meta fields for events are defined here.
• All other meta fields are just being used whenever thet are needed and are scattered all over the code.
• Events are linked to a production through a wp_theatre_prod meta field, that contains the ID of the production.
• Productions are, optionally, linked to a season through a wp_theatre_season meta field.
• Productions and events have a _wpt_order meta field that is used to display them in the corrected order or to select them by a date range.

What is the reason for assigning the identical ˋlabelˋ arguments for the event and production post_types?

[slimndap]

Because the word ‘production’ turned out to be problematic for a lot of users. Also most other event plugins use the word ‘event’.

[slimndap]

Additionally, the label for the wp_theatre_event post type is not being used in the user interface.
