I intend to have projects which have their own post type, say "Project 1", "Project 2", etc.

For each project there will be a set of pages which display various aspects of the project: Library, Info and Blog.

The purpose for this is to take media posts and display them front and center with simple and direct navigation to browse the work, while simultaneously offering a 'feed' for any updates, news, and info regarding the project on the side.

Both pages will need to parse/access "Current Post Type" or receive commands via the link: ?post_type=####.

Is it possible to do this with Layouts, Pages, Types?

If I can customize my query with url data then things would be easy.

For page: BLOG I can do essentially everything with ?t="post_type"

I'd then query: is post_type, tag = blog, etc.

For page: LIBRARY I can take the specific post id with ?i="post_ID"

Then I query: children of post_ID, and other things.

Is it possible to do this with Layout?

Hi,

It is possible to display the same post using different layout, you just need to setup the URL parameter "layout_id".

For example, you can create two layouts:
1) project-layout-a, ID: 123
2) project-layout-b, ID: 456

In single "Project" post "project-a", it's permalink is hidden link,
you can display the post "project-a" with layout 123, with URL:
hidden link
display the post "project-a" with layout 456, with URL:
hidden link
