Filter or action hook to assign a template by a field in custom post type-CodePudding

I have a custom post type named 'project' and using a template for it "single-project.php" which is working fine.

Now I want to have a some differentiation, what I need to assign the template "single-project.php" if a custom value in 'project' post type is mobile and "project-website.php" template if that custom meta value is equal to website.

means, need code to change the templates dynamically on the basis of custom meta value.

Thanks

The easiest way is to just call the "project-website.php" file from the "single-project.php" file, if the custom meta value is equal to "website".

Edit your "single-project.php" file:

<?php
    $custom_field_value = get_post_meta($post_id,'your-custom-meta-key',true);

    if($custom_field_value == 'website'){
        echo get_template_part('single-project');
    } else {
        *** ENTER YOUR CURRENT CODE FOR SINGLE-PROJECT.PHP HERE ***
    }
?>

@Jeremy good point, I already know this but I did it this way , Thanks,


function get_custom_post_type_template($single_template)
{
    global $post;
    $object = get_queried_object();
    $id = $object->ID;
    $post_type = $object->post_type;
    $is_mobile = get_field('is_mobile_app', $id);


    if ($is_mobile !== true && $post_type == 'project') {
       return $single_template = dirname(__FILE__) . '/single-project-website.php';
    } else  {
        return $single_template;
    }

//    return $single_template;
}```
