Creating Custom Template In WordPress

Sometimes we need a another page format or different user interface to display the content of pages and posts or custom type posts. Suppose you have Categories and Sub Categories Pages and you wanted to display different page format for Main Categories pages and different page format for Sub Categories. Then you can create a template to show those content on different pages.[Single page which dynamically creates interface to show content]. Template files draw information from your WordPress MySql database and generate the HTML code which is sent to the web browser.
To Create Template File:
Just Add Following Code At The Top Of The File:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Main Category
*/
?>

Adding above lines to page will make it a template file and it will shown to you when you creating  post/page/custom post under Template Option by listing the name of template, in our example: ‘ Main Category’

custom template

After adding those lines below you can enter the code of your choice to display the contents of the post/page/custom post.

Ex. :

<?php
/*
Template Name: parentpage
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class=”container”>

<div class=”main”>

/* Here is the code of default page.php file you can have your own code eg. code to display custom post type */

// To know custom post type code chk my another blog post: Click Here… //

<?php the_post(); ?>

<div id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(); ?>>
<h1 class=”entry-title”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class=”entry-content”>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(‘before=<div class=”page-link”>’ . __( ‘Pages:’, ‘your-theme’ ) . ‘&after=</div>’) ?>
<?php edit_post_link( __( ‘Edit’, ‘your-theme’ ), ‘<span class=”edit-link”>’, ‘</span>’ ) ?>
</div><!– .entry-content –>
</div><!– #post-<?php the_ID(); ?> –>
</div> <!–main  ends –>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div> <!–#Container–>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

If not you can set now by editing metabox. After that click on publish. And select view page. And you will see nothing happens… then you are on the right track… :-p
We need to modify the page.php file in your theme. open page.php file in any editor:
Suppose we have fields:

• Book Title
• Book Author
• Book Image
• Description

Then code to display these fields on the page. Alternative you can add new template to show the content of the custom field. I assume that you are modifiying page.php: Creating template is also simple.
Add the following code to your page.php [Custmize according to your layout and css used]

//Code Start

<?php get_header(); ?>

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

<?php get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘page’ ); ?>
<?php $addbooks = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘addbooks’, true); ?>

<?php
foreach($addbooks as $addbooks)
{
$result = wp_get_attachment_image_src($addbooks[‘book-image’]);//To get image for display

$url = $result[0];

echo ‘<img src=”‘. $url.'”>’;

echo ‘<h1> ‘ .$addbooks[‘book-title’] . ‘  </h1>’;

echo ‘<h3> ‘ .$addbooks[‘book-author’] . ‘  </h3>’;

echo ‘<h5>  ‘ .$addbooks[‘description’] . ‘ </h5>’;

}
?>

<?php //comments_template( ”, true ); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php get_sidebar();?>

<?php get_footer();?>
