A bit of a noob PHP question coming up.
I am trying to create a generic archive style view for my custom post types. Ideally I want to create one generic template that can be used for all post-types.
Currently I use this as my have_posts query to bring in all posts of ‘custom-post-type’
<?php
$args=array(
'post_type' => 'custom-post-type.',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
?>
What I want to do is swap out custom-post-type with the slug of the page so that whenever this template is assigned to a page, it will look for a custom-post-type of that name & list them.
Alternatively if you know of a better way of doing it – great!
Cheers,
George
Try this:
PS I think next WP release will get proper custom post archives or something around that…
As @Rarst mentioned in the previous comment this is going to be patched in WP3.1
The template hierarchy is “archive-customposttypename.php”.
