13818	There should be index pages for custom post types	frankieroberto	nacin	"Currently, if you create a custom post type, and have rewrites enabled, it will generate posts with URLs along the lines of /post-type/post-name. However, if you try to access an index page at the obvious URL of /post-type you'll get a 404, as Wordpress will try to find a page with that slug.

Whilst it's possible to manually create a page with that slug name, and then use a custom template to generate a query bringing back the most recent posts with a set post-type, it'd be useful if this was built-in (and I suspect it'd be the expected behaviour).

Suggested function to use would be is_post_type() which uses the template post-type-slug.php falling back to archive.php if that's not present."	task (blessed)	closed	normal	3.1	Template	3.0	normal	fixed	has-patch	yeswework eric@… mikeschinkel@… louyx jer@… laffaire alexdunae aaroncampbell lance@… azizur johnbillion@… piemanek@… binarybit deepak.seth Ken@… Seags sirzooro
