Taxonomy Label Generator

What if you had multiple taxonomies? Think about that. What if you needed to add a “topic” and “faq-categories” for example? Using the current code, you’d copy the label generation code and copy it into the next taxonomy you are registering. That’s a lot of code.

Instead, let’s build a label generator. Then you can call this function for any of your custom taxonomies. The code remains the same. The only thing that changes, typically, is the specific name.

Why do this? It makes your code more readable and reusable. It speeds up your development time and reduces your costs. It’s less code to maintain. That’s the sweet spot, i.e. where you are reducing the lines of code and making it readable, reusable, and maintainable.

PHP Lesson – Embedded Variables in Strings

In this episode, you’ll learn about PHP string builder using embedded variables. I’ll explain how this code works:

__( "New {$singular_label} Name", FAQ_MODULE_TEXT_DOMAIN );

Notice, the double quotes that wrap the string. Notice the variable is embedded within the string and is wrapped within curly braces.
