Hi Toolset Folks !

I created a post type, and assigned it a content template.
The post type has some basic fields used in the content template for display.

I want to insert this kind of post with a shortcode inside normal posts.
So in function.php I created a shortcode receiving the ID of the post I want to insert, and returning
get_post($id_arg])->post_content;

My problem is that this is empty, not containing the content template, which seems not to be parsed.

How do I get in PHP the content of a given post whose content is defined by a content template ?

Thanks in advance.
