   I am using Custom Field Templates to create posts "types"; news, review or interview for example. I can identify the type of post by looking at the post Template ID.

   I would like to be able to query the database to get the last 10 posts that use the Template ID of 2 for example.

   As the information is stored in what I think is a serialised array within the custom_field_template_data meta field, I have realised that querying this data might not be possible. I hope I am wrong about that, and would be very thankful if someone could show me how I could be queried.

   I assume its not as simple as: -

   $postslist = get_posts('numberposts=20&order=DESC&orderby=post_date&meta_key=custom_field_template_data->posts&meta_value=2');

   Ahh.. OK I see, so the date is stored in an array in the options table? is that right? That's crazy. I guess there isn't going to be any way I can do this then :(

   Could anyone help me out, give me some thoughts?

   wordpress 3.0 will have support for actual post types if you can wait.
