B32 Books Post Type

3 Different Post Types

1. The post type “book”
2. The post type “audio”
3. The post type “video”

The Books GUI: Post Type Books

Front-end integrated in Author pages

The front-end must be fully integrated inside the author pages. Books are one of several tabs of the author pages.

Page of all books for one author.

This one is similar to the old Book GUI, but it is generated automatically based on the “book posts” of one author.

Two options:

1. Posts Archive
2. Posts Page (like old Book GUI) or both

Each author has a book page under which the different books are listed, e.g. /worstall/books

Order books

By default we must order books for one author by
1. Name Ascending / Edition Descending
2. Publication Date Descending
(empty pubdate comes last)

Previous Next Buttons

Previous, next buttons for books are for books of the same author and  not – like we do for posts –  for the same category.

Do not show last update date for books

When the publication date is empty on Amazon, then today is
set as publication date. Better don’t show it at all.
