It’s easier than that– just modify the template that displays the post, usually single.php, and remove the parts the display the comments. This way comments come in, but are never displayed.

This has been wonderful, and I have to thank you (and Jim Groom, and Martha Burtis). I have one question: I’d like to customize the nature of the comments for this custom post type. We’ve developed a really simply Classfied ad custom post type. I’d like to allow comments (in this case, inquiries about the product), but have the option to have them sent privately to the author, not displayed on the Web site. I’m thinking that I can just suppress the display with css, but that seems clunky. Any ideas?

Hmm, those functions do not come into play at this point; they are used in the next section

It is possible I got some of the demo files crossed, as I had to go back and pull out some parts that were introduced sequentially…

Alan, Excellent stuff here. I think you left out two functions from the functions.php.

function midea_proj_options() {
	// add meta data fields for a MIDEA organization content type
	global $post;

	// Use nonce for verification
	echo '';

	$my_fields = midea_proj_fields(); // fields for this content type

	foreach ($my_fields as $key => $value) {
		// load values into our array
		$my_fields[$key] = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'midea-proj-' . $key, true);
	}	

	echo 'Organization
name:
 ' . "\n";
	echo 'web site:
 ' . "\n";
	echo 'rating:
 ' . "\n";
}

function midea_event_options() {
	// add meta data fields for a MIDEA organization content type
	global $post;

	// Use nonce for verification
	echo '';

	$my_fields = midea_event_fields(); // fields for this content type

	foreach ($my_fields as $key => $value) {
		// load values into our array
		$my_fields[$key] = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'midea-event-' . $key, true);
	}	

	echo '
start:
 ' . "\n";
	echo '
end:
 ' . "\n";
	echo 'web site:
 ' . "\n";
	echo 'Location
address:
' . $my_fields['address'] . '
' . "\n";

I was getting an error about expecting a valid callback function or something until I added these to the functions.php file. Now to figure out how to allow for another rich text editing box.
