CPTs and ACF – single- and archive-template

[mmjaeger]

Hello
I've a few custom post types with a few custom fields - what I discovered is that the content part of the single page and the archive page is basically identical therefore I've a lot of duplicated code in the two files.

what's the best way to optimize this - I'm thinking about putting the content part into the functions file or maybe use template_part - hope somebody can shed some light please?

Thank you in advance for your help.

anybody else has an idea?

could this be a start? somehow I get the impression it's slowing down WordPress?!

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'ta_pre_get_posts' );
function ta_pre_get_posts( $query ) {

	if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && in_array( $query->get( 'post_type' ), array( 'ta_case', 'ta_client', 'ta_event', 'ta_member', 'ta_opportuntiy', 'ta_position', 'ta_testimonial' ) ) ) {
		
		//* Remove the post content
		//remove_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );
		
		//* Add custom post content
		//add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'ta_custom_entry_content' );
		
		//* 
		add_action( 'get_header', 'ta_get_template_part' );
	
	}
	
	return;
	
}

function ta_get_template_part() {
	
	$post_type = get_query_var( 'post_type' );	
	
	get_template_part( 'content', $post_type );
	
}

Somebody please help.

Use something like this:

add_filter( 'template_include', 'csit_template_redirect' );
function csit_template_redirect( $template ) {
	if ( is_tax( 'my-custom-taxonomy' ) )
		$template = get_query_template( 'archive-my-custom-post-type' );
	return $template;
}

This basically detects a custom taxonomy type and sends single / archive to the archive's template. You could mod for your conditionals / situation.

actually, I don't have any taxonomies at all - maybe my question wasn't very clear.

That's no worries, just change the conditional check for your CPT type.

I understand but as I interpret it I would still end up with 7 cpt archive files and 7 cpt single files - what I'm trying to do is basically use the standard single/archive file and use some sort of template for the cpt output which is basically identical for single and archive.

WordPress generates archives pages and single pages so need need to add any templates for single or archive when using CPT's.

The content is generated by the genesis function genesis();

I'm using all custom fields so guess I have to have some sort of template - I like to optimize that code so I don't have that much duplicate code for single and archive pages
