   I have created a custom post type called 'fabrics' and then a template called 'fabric.php'. Then in 'functions.php' i have added the following code:

   register_post_type('fabrics', array(
   	'label' => __('Fabrics'),
   	'singular_label' => __('Fabric'),
   	'public' => true,
   	'show_ui' => true,
   	'capability_type' => 'page',
   	'query_var' => false,
   	'_builtin' =>  false,
   	'rewrite' => array("slug" => "fabrics"),
   	'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'custom-fields', 'thumbnail', 'page-attributes', 'revisions')
   ));
   
   add_action("template_redirect", 'my_template_redirect');
   
   function my_template_redirect()
   {
   	global $wp;
   	global $wp_query;
   	if ($wp->query_vars["post_type"] == "fabrics")
   	{
   		if (have_posts())
   		{
   			include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/fabric.php');
   			die();
   		}
   		else
   		{
   			$wp_query->is_404 = true;
   		}
   	}
   }

   This works fine but i can't access anything in the $post object and because I have custom fields I can't get $post->ID for some strange reason. What am i doing wrong?

   Try:
   global $post; // if outside the loop

   That's fixed it! Thanks so much Keesie.

   I put it after get_header() in my template and hey presto!
