As I said above I found I was able to get what I wanted using the advanced custom fields plugin | |

I thought that you programmed each piece of postmeta individually, so that if you set it so there were 3 slots for directors on the movie, then it would be limited to that, unless you reprogram it. As opposed to a taxonomy where the user can keep entering ( for instance tags, as many as they like ) Am I wrong about this? | |

| May 23, 2013 at 15:06 | comment | added | byronyasgur | Thanks - no I'd be using a Custom Post Type alright. I only gave the example of taxonomy for somewhere to start. I would go with any solution, eg post meta etc but I cant imagine it working with post meta either ( because there could be more than one director per film and you cant just keep adding custom meta like that ). Really what I'm trying to establish is whether there is ANY way of storing that type of data in WordPress | |
