Default layout applied per post type

  • Hello Greg,

    We’re really liking your plugin for the flexibility it provides. Nice job!

    Unfortunately we could not use your plugin for most of our custom post types, because the posts are automatically created, updated and deleted from an API.

    This brought up the question whether it would be possible to apply a default layout to each (custom) post type, including in that layout a default set of widgets. Perhaps this is already possible, but I couldn’t find this option.

    I realize the same end result can be obtained by (for example) using sidebars and post type specific theme templates. That is what we ended up doing anyway. But perhaps you agree a default layout for each CPT would be handy, so I’m just putting it up here as a thought for future releases.

    Or perhaps you’ll just tell me I should have looked more closely. ??

    Cheers,
    Wouter

    Hi there Wouter

    This is actually the exact reason I added the post content widget. I wanted to have a way of building layouts for custom post types. In the end, I never added this feature. The page cloning feature seemed like a good-enough solution.

    I might still be able to add this feature fairly easily though. It might be as simple letting a user select the page to use as a template for a given post type.

    I’ll give another look and see if I can add it to the development roadmap.
