Thanks for sharing, this is extremely useful.

I got an error on the lines which called the undefined log_it function, but they were easily commented out.

I noticed this created a 'x Type' taxonomy when I didn't pass in a taxonomy_slug array key. I think I will hack this further to only register the taxonomy if ( $this->taxonomy_slug ) as per line 81. However, I am just building this CPT out from basic and it will probably more likely utilise at least a couple of custom taxonomies eventually. I may need to extend this to cater for that if I can. Will fork and share if I do :)

Thanks again. So rare to see unconditional sharing in Wordpress these days.

Thanks for the kind words, hughbris. I just got tired of reinventing the wheel for every custom post type, so I abstracted it to save time. WP needs to fix up the API, honestly. Sorry about the log_it call, I'll remove it when I have a bit of time. It was just for debugging and must have slipped in.

As for the taxonomy slug thing, that just allows for overriding the slug, not for overriding whether or not their IS a taxonomy. It's fixed as just one taxonomy. Should be changed to allow zero or multiple eventually, but I've never needed that yet.

Not sure if anyone is still watching this, but I've added the ability to specify minimum user role. It only supports the official roles right now: administrator, editor, contributor. No need for subscriber because that is the same as putting nothing, ie anyone logged in can interact with the CTP. See the first comment with examples.

Also, I'm planning on converting this from a Gist to a full repo, given the interest I've seen from the forks and stars. I'll be able to give better examples there with a readme.

Most recent revision brings a complete rework of the special Google Maps Polygon textbox metabox. It's more self contained, but it also now has the ability to accept both encoded polygons AND raw coordindates (Lng,Lat and Lng,Lat,El format).
