How set template for “custom post type” individual post

Question

For example, I have post named "My book number 1", that is in "Book" custom post type group. And is another post named "My book number 2", that is too in "Book" custom post type.

Question: How I can set specific design template for "My book number 1" post?

Answer 1

You can just create a template...call it something like book-one-template.php, the first line after <?php will need to be /* Template Name: Book One Template */. Then, using that and the custom-post-template plugin you can set that as the template for any post you like.

Maybe this answer is helpful to you:

Created custom post type but selected template not staying selected

notice that you'll have to set foo_resources inside of the custom_template_redirect function to your custom post type

Answer 3

One way of doing it would be as follows: using the name of the post to determine how it displays.

Firstly, open page.php and "Save As" it to single-book.php.

Secondly, find "the loop", i.e. where your page.php has its while... statement.

You can then use code similar to the following to differentiate styles between different books:

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    <?php global $post; ?>

    <?php if ( stristr($post->post_name, "Book 1") ) : ?>
    <?php /* do something for your first book here */

        <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

        <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

        <div class="entry">

        <?php the_content('Continue reading &raquo;'); ?>

        </div>

    <?php else if ( stristr($post->post_name, "Book 2") ) :  ?>
    <?php /* do something different for your second book */

        <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

        <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

        <div class="entry">

        <?php the_content('Continue reading &raquo;'); ?>

        </div>

    <?php else : ?>
    <?php /* do something different for the rest of the books... */

        <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

        <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

        <div class="entry">

        <?php the_content('Continue reading &raquo;'); ?>

        </div>

    <?php endif; ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

The stristr PHP function checks to see if the second parameter (here string "Book 1") exists in the first parameter (here string $post->post_name). It also differentiates for "Book 2". Obviously you can add as many of those as you like and change the text accordingly.
