Two single.php templates (not category ones) in one theme?

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates

Hi
Thanks for that but that doesn’t really sort my issue out as I need to call the page in the overlay dynamically by calling get_permlink as all the thumbnails are generated randomly and on refreshing the page.

So for instance I have something like this in the loop on the HP and in my category.php template

<?php query_posts(array('orderby' => 'rand', 'category_name' => 'All', 'showposts' => 4)); if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
               <li id="post-<?php the_ID() ?>" class="<?php veryplaintxt_post_class() ?>  <?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {echo $category->category_nicename. ' ' ;} ?>">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>?height=450&width=820&modal=true" title="<?php printf(__('%s', 'veryplaintxt'), wp_specialchars(get_the_title(), 1)) ?>" class="thickbox">
 <?php
 if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
the_post_thumbnail();
 } else {
// the current post lacks a thumbnail
echo 'This post ia missing a thumbnail!';
	  }
  ?>
</a>
</li>

...

this would call in the overlay version of whatever post it was.

I just wondered if I could have more than one single.php which could somehow be called dynamically using variations of get_permalink

Hi rebekahford,

Are you still looking for a solution?

It can be done with a hook to template_redirect.

Please let me know if you need help.

I need the same, for example for a post I need to add an extra page for each post with a map (eg wawa.com/post-5/map). You can create an extra page with all the features of a template any (the_title (), the content) for each post?

Hola Alee.Rojas,

Maybe I misunderstand your need, but why don’t you just create the extra page template and link to it from the post?

Hi Gabriel

I had to go with another option and filter the page using css to hide some content depending on whether it was an overlay or a flat window page in the end but would be interested to know how it’s done.

Rebekah

because this is not a static page, I need a dynamic page for each post using the functions of that post, eg. custom field.

Example: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-print/

Hi rebekahford,

I wonder how do you differentiate the pages?

In my case, I have a custom post type and use it to select my template instead of the original one.

function my_template_redirect() {
	if ( $post->post_type == 'my_custom_post_type' ) {
		load_template(  'path-to-my-theme/my-template-file.php' );
		// need to stop, else the original template file will be loaded.
		die();
	}
}

add_action( 'template_redirect',  'my_template_redirect' );

You could add another if and select you template that way.

function my_template_redirect() {
	if ( 'overlay' ) {
		load_template(  'path-to-my-theme/overlay-template-file.php' );
		die();
	} elseif ( 'flat-version' ) {
		load_template(  'path-to-my-theme/flat-template-file.php' );
		die();
	}
}

add_action( 'template_redirect',  'my_template_redirect' );

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Gabriel

Hola Alee.Rojas,

Sorry, I still do not understand your issue.

Maybe the code posted above could help you.

In simple words I want 2 versions for the same post; mipagina.com/post-2 and mipagina.com/post-2/version-2
I hope you can help me..

Ok, you need to check the URL.

This code should be good for you:

function my_template_redirect() {
	$global wp_query;
	if ( 'version-2' == $wp_query->query_vars['name'] ) {
		$wp_query->is_404 = false;
		status_header( 200 );
		$args = array(
				'p' => $post->ID,
				'post_type' => $post->post_type
				);
		query_posts( $args );
		the_post();
		load_template( 'path-to-file/special-view-file.php' );
		die();
	}
}

add_action( 'template_redirect',  'my_template_redirect' );

Suerte!

yes! I think I can run, which could lead to conflict is to have all functions of single.php in my version-2
thank you very much

De nada ??

Disculpa mi mal ingles..
