WordPress Expert - Part Two: Doing cool stuff with Custom Fields
As part of the ridiculous effort to transition UpcomingDiscs.com from custom CMS to WordPress, one thing I’ve had to do is figure out to replicated a bunch of custom coded functionality - things like DVD Review Ratings for instance - UpcomingDiscs rates discs across a number of criteria (audio and video quality, film quality, etc.) - how to get those to show up in WordPress?
Here’s how the ratings look on UpcomingDiscs right now:
Option one is to just hand code the rating graphics into every review posted on WordPress. But that seems like a colossal PITA, and will add time and complexity to the process of posting a review. Given that the UpcomingDiscs reviewers are not a specifically technical bunch, this isn’t really an option.
