How to create my own single-(post-type).php files ?

[Guinnessboy]

Hi there,
Newbie with Genesis i need to create my own single-(post-type).php template to display custom-post and ACF fields.

Genesis sample single.php only contain the genesis() function.

I don't understand how to create my own template and insert my own code and design. Can i use a 'classical' WP single.php ?

Somebody can send a sample single-(post-type).php ? that will help me to understand how it works.

Thanks for your help.

This is all you need to get started.

Use the WordPress Template Hierarchy to name the file like single-cpt.php where cpt is the name of your custom post type.

Then add the code for your custom fields to the file.

Hi Brad and thanks,

I'm ok with WP template hierarchy and CPT.

I don't know how to paste my code. Before the genesis() function ?

//* Remove site footer widgets
remove_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas' );

//* MY CODE HERE ????

//* Run the Genesis loop
genesis();

Yes, all of your code goes before the genesis function.

Many thanks,

It's getting better. fields are displayed not exactly at the right place. 🙂
I still miss something.

The problem

my single-restaurant.php file content

add_filter( 'body_class', 'single_posts_body_class' );
function single_posts_body_class( $classes ) {
   $classes[] = 'custom-restaurant';
   return $classes;   
}
add_filter( 'genesis_site_layout', '__genesis_return_content_sidebar' );
remove_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas' );
?>

<div id="resto-content">
<p><?php the_field('resto-adresse'); ?></p>
<img src="<?php the_field('resto-logo'); ?>" alt="" />
</div>

<?php
add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas' );	
genesis();

The fields are being displayed before the loop is run. The loop is called in the genesis function. You have to hook the custom fields into the content area. I would try genesis_entry_header or genesis_entry_content.

Thanks Victor. I have to read all hook contents tutorials.
I'm not familiar with this.
I'll certainly be back later. 😉

[Guinnessboy]

I think i get it.
Many thanks guys.

The result

//* Add  custom content
add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'restaurant_entry_content' );
function restaurant_entry_content() {
	?>
<div id="resto-content">
<p><?php the_field('resto-adresse'); ?></p>
<img src="<?php the_field('resto-logo'); ?>" alt="" />
</div>
	<?php
}

Now at work.

I would also use get_post_meta rather than the_field.

If your plugin deactivates, you lose the display of your content on the front end.

Thx Brad,

the_field is a function to get. You mean that i can get the same result using get_post_meta('act_field_name') ? ACF data are stored in the post-meta table ?

I don't know how i can remove the date and author under the title.
I tried to remove genesis_entry_header with no effects.

[Brad Dalton]

You could use:

get_post_meta('get_the_ID(),'resto-adresse', true);
get_post_meta('get_the_ID(),'resto-logo', true);

genesis_entry_header is the hook you use to output the custom field data in a specific position on a page.

Thanks Brad. I'll will check that.
I'm on the right way with.
But still a lot of work.
