What version of CCTM are you using? * Thread Starter [zoomzoom2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoomzoom2/) * (@zoomzoom2) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-content-type-manager-summarize-shortcode/#post-2581235) * hi * 0.9.5.8-pl * Plugin Contributor [fireproofsocks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fireproofsocks/) * (@fireproofsocks) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-content-type-manager-summarize-shortcode/#post-2581251) * Yeah, update to 0.9.5.9 — I just released it. It should show up for download shortly. Sorry about the trouble — I did a lot of work on the back-end functionality of SummarizePosts, and I didn’t realize I had broken the shortcodes. * Thread Starter [zoomzoom2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoomzoom2/) * (@zoomzoom2) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-content-type-manager-summarize-shortcode/#post-2581256) * hihi * merci merci! I told you I am not real webmaster, I’ve been trying for hours :-), I try now and let you know asap * Thread Starter [zoomzoom2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoomzoom2/) * (@zoomzoom2) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-content-type-manager-summarize-shortcode/#post-2581262) * I have just updated and it seems to work fine now! * I try to build a website for real estate classifieds, I want to ask you if it is possible to put more in a shortcode a multi criteria relating to different taxonomy? for instance: if I have taxonomy for price and another for size and another for town, and I want to display post that belongs to three of them only? * and in the same sense, do you suggest for real estate kind website to use taxonomies or instead custom field to show criterias? * thank you * Plugin Contributor [fireproofsocks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fireproofsocks/) * (@fireproofsocks) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-content-type-manager-summarize-shortcode/#post-2581267) * Glad the update fixed it. * There are a LOT of criteria you can specify, but you can’t currently search for a post that belongs to 3 taxonomies — the logic for multiple taxonomies is “OR” not “AND”. I did build in some arguments to change the logical groupings (see“ join_rule”), but that applies to joining all inputs, not joining multiple arguments in a single input . See [http://code.google.com/p/wordpress-summarize-posts/wiki/get_posts](http://code.google.com/p/wordpress-summarize-posts/wiki/get_posts) for the full list of inputs. Your idea would make a good feature request though. * Re how to store your data, that can be a very long conversation — there are many ways to do it, and I can’t give you a definitive answer. Each type of relationship( custom field, taxonomy, parent, relation, etc) has its own strengths and weaknesses. You really need to just play around with it and see what works. The big question to ask is how you will be searching for data. Taxonomies and custom fields can both describe attributes, but taxonomies don’t strictly belong to the post-type. E.g. a category of “Green” could belong to a “house” post-type or to an “animal” post-type, but a custom field will always be tied to a post-type. I’d need a chapter or two to talk about data structures. * Thread Starter [zoomzoom2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoomzoom2/) * (@zoomzoom2) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-content-type-manager-summarize-shortcode/#post-2581275) * Thanks, * I understood what you explain and it is what I have figured out. But you gave me a good point saying something obvious but that I did not play enough attention: custom field are tied to a post and not taxonomies. i try to think like my users then, usually real estate user look first to a city, so I will use a category kind taxonomy for cities and custom fields for the differents criterias like type offer (rent , buy, sell) price, surface, parking etc. * Thank you, I am just starting, I am going to read all the doc of the plugin to understand how to style the shortcode diplay.. * Plugin Contributor [fireproofsocks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fireproofsocks/) * (@fireproofsocks) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-content-type-manager-summarize-shortcode/#post-2581280) * hope that helps! I have to keep my docs updated… for such a big plugin, it takes a lot of time. Just remember that the formatting strings all rely on [+placeholders +], and if you get confused, just put in a placeholder named [+help+], and most of the time that will print out a list of available placeholders for you.
