Oh duh…I can just do this. It’ll work for what I need.

<?php echo get_post_type( $post ); ?>

Adventures in not knowing the ins and outs of custom post types yet. Thanks for your responses. ??

…ah shoot. It doesn’t work for top level. eg:

X Lunch
– Sandwiches
— Turkey
— Tofu
– Soups

It will return “Sandwiches” if its in “Turkey” but it won’t return “Lunch” If its in “Sandwiches”. …I just need it to return “Lunch”

Sorry. My bad.

Huzzah! Success. Thank you. ^_^

Hmm. That does not work…odd because I feel it should work.

P.S. Hi! ^_^

Anyone?

Basically what’s going on is this:

I go to Articles. Articles is a custom post type. In this custom post type I have allowed the user to use all the existing tags on the site.

I click on a tag in a post that is posted in “Articles” it uses the tag.php template, but won’t show posts with that tag. It will however show the tag title. So I don’t really know what’s going on.

Wrong template to be using maybe?

Anyone?

Yep changed! Thanks for the responses. Appreciated. ??

Ha!

'value' => true

changed to

'value' => 'true'

That really needs to be somewhere in the codex, also SO glad it wasn’t anything else.

the meta echos out as “true” from inside the loop.

the in loop one doesn’t work because in my ghetto attempt I forgot that it has to be in the query array part. I want it to display posts in custom post type AND have front_event checked.

The case is right. Maybe i have to do some kind of global query for that piece of data in front_event and then use it in a post query?

And of course the ghetto version doesn’t work, because its in the loop. So…anyone? Suggestions?

I could do something like this:

[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

But for some reason that comes back as nothing. Suggestions?

Hey Thanks so much! That worked great. ??

Additional question. I’m trying to pull just one post via that check box. So I made up some arguments for a query:

<?php $event =array(
		'post_type' => 'Events',
		'posts_per_page' => 1,
		'meta_key' => 'front_event',
		'meta_value' => true

		);?>

<?php query_posts($event);?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

....etc...

This usually works with just straight up custom fields in categories, but not here. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to access this information from the check box in a different manner?

Thanks again. Sorry for the questions. this is my first time using custom post types.

Anyone?

yay i just forgot an echo….see this what not sleeping does to you.

Nevermind. Closing this one off.
