[wp-hackers] Issue with Custom Post Type Archive and custom search form

[Lionel POINTET]

Hi Becky,

When WordPress knows what kind of query is currently going, the template is
guessed, then called with a filter named 'template_redirect'.
You can hook on that filter to make sure it's your template that will be
included.
But make sure you don't break any other query than yours by making this,
like a normal archive or author query...

Hope that helps.
Lionel
