Modify Template to Switch Cases

Anonymous

#193077

Hi,

I am trying to modify the results.php template so that I can display a different loop for my different custom post types. I was trying something along the lines but it doesn’t work. I think my syntax is wrong in the first place. If you have any pointers on the best way to achieve this please let me know.

<?php $curtype = get_post_type( $post->ID ); switch($curtype){
case “events”: return ‘events code’;
break;
case “venues”: return ‘venues code’;
break;
}
?>

many thanks,
Andrew

Rather than:

get_post_type( $post->ID )

try

get_post_type(get_the_ID())

Hi Trevor, thanks for the prompt reply, however that’s not the issue. Please look at my stackexchange thread which explains what I am trying to achieve:

Also another question, doesn’t your results.php need to have wp_reset_postdata(); for best practices?

It does not need it (wp_reset_postdata), no.

Did you try it using get_the_ID()?
