Projects

SIA Projects defines the custom post type used to represent ventures and participating organisations in the competition. It is the data layer that all project-facing features across the network — browsing, voting, and reporting — depend on.

The plugin registers the post type, its associated taxonomy (Sustainable Development Goals), and a set of meta fields for storing social links, video, press mentions, and contact details. It does not itself handle presentation beyond what WordPress provides by default; display is handled by the theme and other plugins.

  • Custom “project” post type for ventures and participating organisations
  • Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) taxonomy for categorising projects
  • Meta fields for video, website, email, and social media links (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter)
  • Press links: up to ten per project, stored as structured metadata
  • Alumni filtering: ventures can be browsed by competition year
  • Sitemap integration so published projects appear in automated sitemaps
