change link "rel" in search depending on _wp_page_template

  • Hi,

    I have been searching for a few hours and tried a few different things but just cant find out how to fix a problem I’m having with search results.

    The site I have uses pages which in turn have sub pages, these sub pages contain video and text and have their own template (video) which strips out the header and footer. These video pages are only ever displayed in a jquery overlay which gets triggered by rel=”#overlay” in the link from the parent page.

    My problem is when a user searches these video pages are getting returned but the links need the rel=”#overlay” applied.

    I just need to figure out which template each listed result is using and apply the correct rel to the link in the search results page

    My questions, is this possible? I have tried “get_page_template” but didn’t get very far.

    Thanks and any help suggestions much appreciated

  • Are these Page Templates?

    Yes these are all pages.

    Then try using something like is_page_template( 'video.php' ) where video.php is the file name of the custom template.

    Thanks esmi but because I’m trying to find out the template used by a result in the search, I think its just checking the result page template? Here is my code: 

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

	<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"
    <?php
		if ( is_page_template('video.php') ) {
			echo 'rel="#overlay';
		} else {
			echo 'rel="bookmark"';
		}
	?>
    ><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</h1>
	<?php the_excerpt(__('Read more'));?>
    <div style="clear:both;"></div>

	<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>

	<?php endwhile; else: ?>

	<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p><?php endif; ?>
	<?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('&laquo; go back'), __('keep looking &raquo;')); ?>

    You’re right. That not going to work in a search results page. Is there anything else you can filter on? Category? Tag?
