How to get current post content template id in code?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The user would like to get the ID of the content template of a custom post in code.

Solution:
After the update to Toolset Blocks 1.5, we introduced a new way of handling single post pages with content templates. Now we have conditions and priorities to determine what content template to use on a post to display on its single post page. You will need to pass the post's object ($post) to it:

$template_id = apply_filters( 'wpv_content_template_for_post', 0, $post );

I'm writing a custom code snippet, where I need to add conditional logic based on the template used in the current post. I've seen the following global in the docs:

global $current_archive_template_id;

But that applies to the archive pages. Is there an equivalent for a singular post? Thanks!

Hello and thank you for contacting Toolset Support.

After the update to Toolset Blocks 1.5, we introduced a new way of handling single post pages with content templates. Now we have conditions and priorities to determine what content template to use on a post to display on its single post page. You will need to pass the post's object ($post) to it:

$template_id = apply_filters( 'wpv_content_template_for_post', 0, $post );

However, this filter is not documented yet. Let me know if you have any further questions.
