I'm running WordPress 3.0 to build a site for the performing arts center at a local community college (site hasn't launched yet, so I can't provide a URL). I'm using DCG for a featured events slider on the homepage.

I'm using the new Events Calendar Pro plugin to run an events calendar. The plugin uses a custom post type for events which is quite handy. But the DCG image metabox doesn't load when creating an event. Is there a way to add posts from custom post types to the DCG?

Thanks!

I figured that was the case, but thanks for confirming. I think I can work around it by using the Page Links to plugin. It's a hacky solution but it'll work for now.

Thanks!

I have figured out how to add the meta box to a custom post type. In dfcg_admin_metaboxes.php you just add this line of code at line 42 (if you are using the category method:

add_meta_box( DFCG_FILE_HOOK . '_box', __( 'Dynamic Content Gallery Metabox', DFCG_DOMAIN ), 'dfcg_meta_box', 'your-custom-post-type', 'side', 'low' );

But the gallery still does not count the custom post type post in the respective category.

Within dfcg_gallery_constructors.php I have tried to alter the query, but to no avail. In fact, hacking up the query code seemed to have no effect at all – I expected it to crash the site, but the gallery just kept putting out the 'post' post types.

Please help if you have any suggestions.

Thanks for the quick reply?

However, what if I want to use a combination of "posts" and custom post types?
