Twenty Eleven: allow content-single.php to be overridden for post formats

[SGr33n]

From single.php Line 23:

					<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'single' ); ?>

To:

					<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>

Added post format to get template part call

Seems to be true. Don't know why this has never been discovered before.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that this is intentional. The TwentyEleven post format templates (content-aside.php, content-gallery.php, content-image.php etc) contain the following comment at the top:

The template for displaying posts in the ... Post Format on index and archive pages

This seems to imply that they are not intended to be used on single post pages.

The default templates doesn't display correct on single pages cause they have the excerpt instead of the full content into the_content()... maybe it's intentional.

I've just done a patch for this....

It maintains current behaviour - but allows an option to over-ride in a child theme.

Patch which maintains current behaviour - but allows child theme to over-ride if wanted

If I've understood this properly (still learning!), the advantage of my suggested patch as that it doesn't require other files in the theme to be updated.

(Update: I've just found out how to do the patch properly - will resubmit soon)

A patch which preserves current behaviour, but facilitates the addition of being able to use different post formats on single pages by adding content-single-status.php and similar

I like 17966b.diff​. ian or lance?

17966b.diff is clever. That's a neat enhancement.

Refreshed patch (no need for comment)
