Display a custom single.twig for specific categories
In timber you can display custom pages, based on page.twig, like page-casestudies.twig, which I'm using to show a list of all posts with a category of 'casestudies'. Just including /casestudies in the URL will render the page. This is default timber functionality and works exactly as I'd expect. I then want to show (for casestudies) a custom single-casestudies.twig, which is based off but different to single.twig (which I use for blog posts) and needs a different layout. I use additional ACF's in the casestudies. I have no idea how I go about this, or if it is even possible, or if there is a better way, such as custom post types. I've seen lots of posts about custom post types, but they only mention a list of posts, and not the actual display of the custom post itself. Thanks in advance.

I don't think Timber has this functionality by default, but you could add it yourself to single.php like this:
$context = Timber::get_context();
$context['post'] = new TimberPost();
$template = has_category('casestudies') ? 'single-casestudies.twig' : 'single.twig';
Timber::render($template, $context);
The $template variable checks if the post contains the category casestudies, and sets the template to either single-casestudies.twig or single.twig.

Hi Daniel. That's great, works perfectly, much appreciated. If I wanted to add a second category what's the syntax for that? If I repeat the third line and replace 'casestudies' with 'news' that works fine but then case studies no longer works and falls back to the defauly single.twig.

Hi Daniel, in the end I was able to achieve this using if, elseif and else. Thanks again for your help.

@doifeellucky Your solution will work fine. Just keep in mind that the order of the if statements will determine which template is used (because a post can have both 'casestudies' and 'news' as categories). Don't forget to mark your question as answered if everything is clear :)

I did think about the fact that they might use multiple categories. Is there a better way expanding on your original solution? I'd expect there to be multiple categories like case studies, news, blog, etc. Thanks.
