Multiple Custom Post Types?

Is there a way to configure the rotator to include regular posts as well as those from multiple custom post types? For example, on our blog (currently in development so I can't include the link, but it's WP 3.1.4 and DCG 3.3.5) we're going to have book reviews, game reviews, movie reviews, etc. as well as various other articles, and each of those review types is a separate custom post type. But from what I can tell, you can only set the rotator up through the admin settings to show either just the regular posts or one particular custom post type. I tried editing the following code in dfcg-gallery-constructors-jq-smooth.php :

if( $dfcg_options['populate-method'] == 'custom-post' ) {
/* Get the Custom Post Type */
$post_type = $dfcg_options['custom-post-type'];

If I change the last line to

$post_type = 'con_book_reviews';

it will show just that particular custom post type, so I assume I'm correct in thinking that's the line that needs to be edited, but I can't manage to make it have an array instead of just the one type. I've tried a few different things but either it doesn't work and only shows regular posts or I get parse errors. Is there something I can do there or elsewhere to achieve the desired result? Thanks so much!

Hi,

It would take me time to go through the code and check this out. Have you tried specifying post ID's in the ID Method instead? Not as dynamic (you will have to update the ID list each tiem you add a post) but it's a quick workaround.

I haven't, and I figured that would work (that's how our current rotator is) but it would definitely be preferable to have it work on its own. If you're able to check it out, I would definitely appreciate it since your plugin seems ideal in every other way! Thanks so much.

It's on the to do list. In the meantime, the ID Method is the only way to mix custom and normal post types.
