Custom Quote Post Type

[mairagall]

Hi, I need to create a custom quote post type, something like this, I managed to add support for Quotes on my functions.php and some CSS styles (I'm using Genesis Sample). The problem I have is that I'm using post excerpts and need that those Quote posts show in full in all pages, not sure how to approach this.

I appreciate any help, thanks!

Is that your blog? It looks like it's all styled.

It would be helpful to see your website link.

When you add post formats to your theme (in functions.php), and then start a new post, you have an extra set of check boxes in the right hand sidebar of the post editor. These let you choose the post format. You still have the normal editor, so I don't understand how you need to use post excerpts.
To style the Quote Format for instance you would just use something like this:

.format-quote.entry {
	/* add your styles here */
}

I have a blog post that may also be helpful to you.

Hi Marcy, thanks for your input. You can take a look at the test blog here, I added the Quote post type, and I can work with CSS to make it look as I need (I didn't finished yet), the only problem I have is that the quote post is not showing completely as I'm using the post excerpts option in Genesis Settings. I think I should add some custom loop but not idea how and where.

OK. Now I see what you need.

This should work for when you are using excerpts. Add it to your functions.php

// Filter the excerpt on quote post formats
add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'filter_do_post_quote_format_content' );
function filter_do_post_quote_format_content($excerpt) {

	if ( has_post_format( 'quote' ) && ( 'excerpts' === genesis_get_option( 'content_archive' ) ) ) {

		$excerpt = the_content();
		return $excerpt;

	} else {

		return $excerpt;
	}
}
