The talk

If you want to review everything we saw or if you couldn't make it, we leave you with Link to the presentation.

Here are some of the points that were seen during the talk:

• It is important to know what we want to build and what structure it will have: information architecture.
• The format of the entries can be defined with CPTs (Custom Post types):
  • Types of publications created by us manually or with Plugin Custom Post Type UI.
  • They will appear in the left menu next to the entries and pages.
• Taxonomies: The categories and labels of the entries. They serve to sort the content.
• Publications ' Custom fields. To manage them better to use Plugin Advanced Custom Fields
• For the URL to have yo.com/cursos/curso1/clase1, you have to use CPTs hierarchy. To do this:
  • Create a CPT "courses"
  • It is not advisable for a CPT to activate the general categories of WP. Better to create your own.
  • Activate:
    • Has Archive
    • Page attribute
    • Hierarchical
    • Capability Type = page
  • We created a course called CURSO1
  • We create another course and say that his father is curso1 and we call him Class1.
  • Thus we will have courses/CURSO1/Class1
• Templates: Can be created for entries, pages and CPTs
• Data model: Better define a CPT for each item and you will be left on the WP menu, as well as entries or pages. Ex: web of Theatre has CPT of actors, works...
• Advanced Custom Fields:
  • We define them with the plugin and say to what type of input we associate
  • To use it later in the entry we use Shortcode: [act field = "Field_name"]
  • If it is a link, you can put it but you need another plugin
  • If you know how to program, you can use functions like Get_field (), The_field ()... in your functions. php
    • The functions are in the plugin documentation.

Fabià Coloma broadcasted live a few minutes of the talk on Facebook live streaming.
