The most cool thing of wordpress is custom post type. Now most of the plugins are using wordpress custom post type because of its flexibility.

Post types Order plugin give us the future to reorder the posts by just drag and drop. This plugin also supports custom post type.But wp ecommerce plugin also use the custom post type called
‘wpsc-product’. But it won’t work with drag and drop future with post types order plugin. To Make it work just do the one change that mentioned below.

Step 1 : Find the location of registering ‘wpsc-product’ post type in wp ecommerce plugin.

Goto : “site\wp-content\plugins\wp-e-commerce\wpsc-core”  this location
File   : “wpsc-functions.php” find this file and open it.

Step 2 : Change the parameter of register_post_type

Search “register_post_type( ‘wpsc-product’, array(” this line in file. here we can see the below code

// Products
register_post_type( 'wpsc-product', array(
'capability_type' => 'post',
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail' ),
'exclude_from_search' => false,
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'menu_icon' => WPSC_CORE_IMAGES_URL . "/credit_cards.png",
'labels' => $labels,
'query_var' => true,
'register_meta_box_cb' => 'wpsc_meta_boxes',
'rewrite' => array(
'slug' => $wpsc_page_titles['products'] . '/%wpsc_product_category%',
'with_front' => false
)
) );

Here we just add another parameter ‘hierarchical’ => false,

After changing this will look like below.

// Products
register_post_type( 'wpsc-product', array(
'capability_type' => 'post',
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail' ),
'hierarchical' => false,
'exclude_from_search' => false,
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'menu_icon' => WPSC_CORE_IMAGES_URL . "/credit_cards.png",
'labels' => $labels,
'query_var' => true,
'register_meta_box_cb' => 'wpsc_meta_boxes',
'rewrite' => array(
'slug' => $wpsc_page_titles['products'] . '/%wpsc_product_category%',
'with_front' => false
)
) );

Now we can see the reorder menu in product tag as below.

By reordering product using drag and drop future also will reflect in front end product listing.
