Custom Post Types
You can add your Custom Post Type (CPT) by editing the /config/plugin.php file. This file is very important because it returns several important information used while the plugin is started. Let see a typical structure of this file:
/config/plugin.php
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Custom Post Types
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register the Custom Post Types.
|
*/
'custom_post_types' => [ '\WPKirk\CustomPostTypes\MyCustomPostType' ],Typical structure of a Custom Post Type Service Provider
Let's see a typical class
/plugin/CustomPostTypes/MyCustomPostType.php
<?php
namespace WPKirk\CustomPostTypes;
use WPKirk\WPBones\Foundation\WordPressCustomPostTypeServiceProvider;
class MyCustomPostType extends WordPressCustomPostTypeServiceProvider {
protected $id = 'wp_kirk_cpt';
protected $name = 'Captain';
protected $plural = 'Captains';
/**
* You may override this method in order to register your own actions and filters.
*
*/
public function boot()
{
// You may override this method
}
/**
* Override this method to save/update your custom data.
* This method is called by hook action save_post_{post_type}`
*
* @param int|string $post_id Post ID
* @param object $post Optional. Post object
*

public function update( $post_id, $post )
