Subscribe2 was recently extended to allow notifications to be sent for Custom Post Types.
This introduction of code also highlighted the ability in WordPress to create Custom Taxonomy Types. Again, this is something done by developers and bloggers with a knowledge of PHP code.
Subscribe2 has now been extended again to allow the addition of custom taxonomies into the ‘categories’ that are used in WordPress by default. To add a custom taxonomy you have already created you need to added the following code into a custom plugin or to the function.php file in your theme.
function my_taxonomy_types($taxonomies) {
// where 'my_taxonomy_type' is the name of your custom taxonomy
$taxonomies[] = 'my_taxonomy_type';
return $taxonomies;
}
add_filter('s2_taxonomies', 'my_taxonomy_types');
Version 6.3 of the Plugin is now available for download. This version has been tested on WordPress 3.0.5 and 3.1 and requires at least WordPress 2.8.
Version 6.3 contains the bug fixes listed below. In my last post I asked about what version of WordPress people were using. It is possible, based on the response I got, the more than 1 in 20 of my users are using WordPress versions prior to 3.0. I’m not about to leave that many people behind to I’ve added code that will support back to WordPress 2.8 (which is the current minimum requirement anyway). I suspect that at some point 3.0 or 3.1 will become the minimum – but not for a while yet, but use this time to plan your upgrades to 3.0 or 3.1.

As I’m sure you know, WordPress 3.1 is now available on general release. This new version has made a couple of changes that are affecting Subscribe2.
Firstly, in version 3.0 of WordPress the usermeta() functions were all deprecated and replaced with user_meta() equivalents (so update_usermeta() is now update_user_meta()). The other change is that these functions now return an array rather than a string by default.
Strangely, in WordPress 3.0 this didn’t seem to be a problem but some users are seeing errors in WordPress 3.1.
Secondly, WordPress 3.1 replaced the WP_User_Search class with WP_User_Query. Now, I can’t find any documentation about this new class which is of course a great help when writing a plugin! (If you can find any please let me know!)
Again, this seems not to be affecting all users who are on WordPress 3.1 but it would be sensible to drop use of a deprecated class.
Subscribe2 currently requires at least WordPress 2.8. But I’m wondering how many people I’m leaving behind if I make the minimum requirement 3.0. So, please use the poll below and tell me what version of WordPress you are currently using on you main blog.
One of the new features introduced with WordPress 3.0 is custom post types. These are defined using code by developers and bloggers with a knowledge of PHP to allow WordPress to be extended to more of a CMS solution.
Subscribe2 can be enabled to send notifications for your custom post types by use of a filter. The code below give an example of how to register your custom post type with Subscribe2 so that these articles generate an email notification. I’d suggest you add this code to the plugin you are using to create your custom post type.
