12974,Add support to get_archive_template() for custom content types,johnonolan,,"Relevant to #12105[[BR]]
[[BR]]
It would be great if custom content types could have their own category page templates.[[BR]]
[[BR]]
Why? Primarily because if I have a custom content type, then I want people to be able to browse that content type, and I don't want them to browse the content type with the same styling and format as normal blog entries.[[BR]]
[[BR]]
For example if I have a custom content type of ""books"", then I want a category page for books with a loop that returns all of my ""books"" in a custom format.[[BR]]
[[BR]]
Continuing with this example, if I write a post called ""A Book"" then the slug becomes example.com/books/a-book/ however /example.com/books/ returns a 404. This is where I'd like to see archive-post_type.php kick in.[[BR]]
[[BR]]
The new approach:[[BR]]
* archive-post_type-slug.php[[BR]]
* archive-post_type-id.php[[BR]]
* archive-post_type.php[[BR]]
* archive.php[[BR]]

This seems like a fairly obvious one to me (in place of hacking around with pages and custom-page-templates)",enhancement,closed,normal,,Post Types,,normal,duplicate,,johnonolan scribu@… prodevstudio+wordpress@… maorb kevinB epicalex mattwiebe mikeschinkel@…
