problem with post_type on custom post type in Loop

[niceandripe]

I have registered a custom post type of 'directory' and in my loop i have something like this:

<?php if ( in_category( _x('gallery', 'gallery category slug') ) ) : ?>

   XXX - this is what i expect for gallery posts

<?php elseif ( $post_type = 'directory' ) : ?>

   YYY - this is what i expect for directory (custom) posts

<?php else : ?>

   ZZZ - this is what i expect for regular posts

<?php endif;  ?>

however, even thou a regular post is not $post_type = 'directory' I'm getting YYY - this is what i expect for directory (custom) posts when I'm expecting ZZZ - this is what i expect for regular posts

Looks like you are always setting your $post_type = 'directory';
To do a check you would need to use == rather than =.

Check the code below, it should do the trick.

<?php if ( in_category( _x('gallery', 'gallery category slug') ) ) : ?>

   XXX - this is what i expect for gallery posts

<?php elseif ( $post_type == 'directory' ) : ?>

   YYY - this is what i expect for directory (custom) posts

<?php else : ?>

   ZZZ - this is what i expect for regular posts

<?php endif;  ?>

yes thankyou.
