Using get_template_part() with Post Formats

This is a really handy little snippet to use when you want to change the output format for each post format.

if ( have_posts() ) :
     while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

        // Standard is the default template for posts with no post format
        // As the formats doesn't contain  it, but the function returns false
        // We add it as fallback
        get_template_part( 'format', ! get_post_format() ? 'standard' : get_post_format() );

        endwhile;
endif;

In your theme folder create a file for each post format, like so:

• format-standard.php (this is the default template)
• format-video.php (this file would be used for posts with video formats)
• format-audio.php (this is used for audio formats)
• etc, etc

This snippet would be used in your single.php and/or blog archive templates to control the output format of each post format. Doing it like this really helps to keep your template files clean and easy to read.
