Cannot control post types' arguments in meta box

slo007
Hi Codestar,
hope you're doing well

It seems I cannot get metabox to display for just required post types by using the default arguments.
It's the best through the example.

Lets say we have a Metabox created and 'post_type' appearance should be regulated through the $set_post_types variable:
```
$args =   array( 'public' => true, '_builtin' => false );
	$set_post_types =   get_post_types( $args );

	CSF::createMetabox($prefix, array(
		'title'       =>  'my MB',
		'post_type'   =>  $set_post_types,
		'context'     =>  'side',
	) );CopyCopied!
```
The problem is that $args do not return the right value for the CSF metabox. In the example above, $args should return all public custom post types.
You see, if I var_dump the $set_post_types it returns empty.

...But if I create a function and hook it into the 'admin_footer' I get the 'product' listed, i.e. the only custom post type I have registered on the site:
```
function aaa() {

        $args = array(
            'public'   => true,
            '_builtin' => false
        );

        $a = get_post_types( $args );

        var_dump($a);
    }

    add_action('admin_footer', 'aaa');CopyCopied!
```
Hope it's clear. Let me know if this can be corrected.

Hi,

Hmm, yes right. Actually it's not an issue. It's a wordpress core action priority thing. Un I am not sure how to explain with poor english. Lets try. I mean:

The framework starts in action priority 10. If your register_post_type action is register after that priority it will not work as normally. You can see that issue on google.

//codestar-framework/classes/setup.class.php
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', array( 'CSF', 'setup' ) ); // default priority 10
add_action( 'init', array( 'CSF', 'setup' ) ); // default priority 10CopyCopied!

What is the solution ?

function slo_init_metabox() {

  $args = array( 'public' => true, '_builtin' => false );
  $set_post_types = get_post_types( $args );

  var_dump( $set_post_types ); // output test.

  CSF::createMetabox($prefix, array(
    'title'     =>  'my MB',
    'post_type' =>  $set_post_types,
    'context'   =>  'side',
  ) );

  // options....

}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'slo_init_metabox', 11 ); // Let's set action priority 11 (It must be big than 10).CopyCopied!

But still its not guarantee way. Best way is manual give post type name.

Ok, try it. maybe it works.
