Templates For Posts Formats

[hardeepasrani]

If I opt to use Custom Post Templates, then I can easily put a custom post template by putting a file named single-[name of the custom post], but that same feature is not available for the post formats.

I love the post format feature in WordPress, and people just don't want to use that for some reasons, but this would really attract some of the audience to use the post formats.

For example, a post with Audio format will first look for single-audio.php or single-audioformat.php or anything cuz it single-audio.php may effect the Audio Custom post type.

What do you guys think of this idea?

Anyone looking forward to review this ticket of mine?

A workaround:

function use_post_format_templates_27425( $template ) {
	if ( is_single() && has_post_format() ) {
		$post_format_template = locate_template( 'single-' . get_post_format() . '.php' );
		if ( $post_format_template ) {
			$template = $post_format_template;
		}
	}

	return $template;
}	
add_filter( 'template_include', 'use_post_format_templates_27425' );

Replying to SergeyBiryukov:

A workaround:

function use_post_format_templates_27425( $template ) {
	if ( is_single() && has_post_format() ) {
		$post_format_template = locate_template( 'single-' . get_post_format() . '.php' );
		if ( $post_format_template ) {
			$template = $post_format_template;
		}
	}

	return $template;
}	
add_filter( 'template_include', 'use_post_format_templates_27425' );

I know this trick, but a feature like this should be in the core. I love formats option & people do some great stuff with it.
