Template based on value of customfield

  • I’d like to use a different post template (single.php) depending on the value of a customfield in that post. What file would I need to edit to acheive this and what would the PHP code be to do it?

    Is anybody able to offer any assistance?

    edit single.php:

    general idea (not a copy/paste instruction):

    direct at the beginning, make a mini loop and read the custom field:

    <?php while(have_posts()) : the_post();
$value=get_post_meta($post->ID,'key',true);
endwhile;
if($value=='different') {
global $post;
include(TEMPLATEPATH . 'different_post_template.php'; }
else { wp_reset_query(); }
// from here this should be the code of the standard singe.php
?>

    fully untested –
    make backup copies of the template files before editing
