 * Hi,
 * I have created a custom field that can have multiple checkboxes for products 
   that are related to that post, that can be added dynamically using Javascript.
   At first I just saved the serialized array of checked checkboxes, but I also 
   have to be able to query based on the checkboxes. I need to be able to do a query
   that returns all posts that have a specific checkbox checked.
    So eventually 
   I need to save the checkboxes separately in a meta_key for each checkbox. So 
   far I can manage, but how would I query the checkboxes without knowing exactly
   how many different meta_keys there are for the checkboxes? I guess when saving
   the checkboxes they will be named something like: post_product_1, post_product_2,
   etc..
 * I hope the question makes sense.

 * Thinking about this, would it be useful to have a custom taxonomy “products” 
   which both the product-post-type and the other post-type need to use? So I can
   query on the taxonomy? Or will that give complications?
