How to add custom supports for custom post types?

Question

I need to define a custom support feature for my WordPress Plugin but I can't find how to do so.

What I want to do is to display a box on certain custom post type containing 2 meta fields in which users can type in Longitude and Latitudes values for geolocalisation purposes.

For practical uses, i want to attach this custom feature the same way as supports are to posts :

<?php
$args = array(
    ...
    ...
    'supports' => array('title','editor', 'thumbnail', 'my_custom_support'),
    ...
    ...
);
register_post_type('my_custom_post_type', $args);
?>

OR, if my custom post type has already been created beforehand:

<?php
add_post_type_support('my_custom_post_type', 'my_custom_support');
?>

I know what I want but I just can't find how to register new supports ...

I hope someone can answer this problem because I'm actually tearing off my hairs!

Answer 1

Well you can add

...
'supports' => array('title','editor', 'thumbnail', 'custom-fields'),
...

You don't need to create anything beforehand, you can define the two fields latitude and longitude when adding a new post.
