How do I create custom templates for singles?

[bobdobbs]

I've created a CPT and I'd like to customize the markup.

I'm familiar with the usual way of templating CPT singles: copying single.php, removing the default loop and creating a custom loop with a custom instance of WP_Query.
However, the genesis single just has the call to genesis().

I did find this resource:

How to create a Custom Template In Genesis

In this tutorial the author gives a technique for unhooking the default genesis loop and then adding passing in a customized args array to a loop.
However, that doesn't give control of templating, so it isn't so useful where there are custom fields, which is typical for CPT's.

You can create a single-{post_type}.php template. In that template, the only thing that is technically required is the genesis() call at the end. Other than that, you can modify everything via Genesis hooks. If you need to change the default markup, you can do that too by just removing the default loop and adding your new markup. To include custom fields, you call get_post_meta(). Here's an example template:

<?php

remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'custom_genesis_loop' );
function custom_genesis_loop() {

	//* Your markup here

}

genesis();
