Josh,
While doing some experimenting with Feed Me, I needed to create a custom data type but then could not work out how I could actually create a feed with that custom data type. There was no built in way to select my custom data type for a new feed even though it was registered using the
registerFeedMeDataTypes
plugin hook. It would also not be possible to save a new feed with a custom data type, since the feeds record is restricted to your built in types.So I went about making some changes to properly support custom Feed Me Data Types. Take a look and see what you think.
Note that I added the functionality to allow specifying a different display name for a custom data type so that the default displayed name of MyPlugin_MyCustomFeedMeDataType can be customised.
Let me know if you have any questions or recommendations.
