Extended CPTs Extras
====================

[](#extended-cpts-extras)

Extended CPTs Extras is a companion package for the [Extended CPTs](https://github.com/johnbillion/extended-cpts) library, providing additional functionality for managing post types in WordPress.

Features
--------

[](#features)

1. **Featured Image Column Width**: Customize the width of the featured image column in the admin list view.
2. **Remove Meta Boxes**: Easily remove unwanted meta boxes from the post edit screen (useful for Gutenberg).
3. **Register Meta**: Register custom meta fields for your post types with support for the REST API.
4. **Register Block Bindings**: Register custom block binding sources for dynamic content in blocks.
5. **Modify Existing Post Types**: Add additional features to existing post types. Note that the the below features work correctly out of the box on the Extended CPTs package when registeting a **new** post type. It is only necessary to use the `extended_post_type_modify_existing()` function when modifying an **existing** post type. Theses features include:

    - Custom templates
    - Template locking
    - Menu position
    - Menu icon

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Require the package in your `composer.json`:

    ```
    {
    	"require": {
    		"builtnorth/extended-cpts-extras": "^1.0"
    	}
    }
    ```
2. Run `composer install` or `composer update`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Use the `extended_post_type_extras()` function to apply extra configurations to post types:

[](#use-the-extended_post_type_extras-function-to-apply-extra-configurations-to-post-types)

```
extended_post_type_extras(['post', 'page'], [
	'featured_image_column_width' => 80,
	'remove_meta_boxes' => ['postcustom', 'commentstatusdiv'],
	'register_meta' => [
		'my_custom_field' => [
			'type' => 'string',
			'description' => 'A custom field for this post type',
			'single' => true,
			'show_in_rest' => true,
		],
	],
	'register_block_bindings' => [
		'my_custom_source' => [
			'label' => 'My Custom Source',
			'get_value_callback' => function($source_args, $block_instance) {
				// Return dynamic content based on source_args
				return get_post_meta($block_instance->context['postId'], $source_args['key'], true);
			},
			'uses_context' => ['postId', 'postType'],
		],
	]
]);
```

### Use function `extended_post_type_modify_existing()` function to modify existing post types:

[](#use-function-extended_post_type_modify_existing-function-to-modify-existing-post-types)

extended_post_type_modify_existing('post', [
	'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-index-card',

		['core/image', []],
