Cool! thank you very much for you answer. I don’t have time to dig into it right now, but I will as soon as I can. My days are very full over the weekend, so I won’t be checking back until around Monday. But thank you so much for your direction. I’ll be sure to give it a shot! =)

oh, sorry. Ok, I’ll try to be more specific.

What I was thinking I could do was to create an if/else statement where if post-type=THIS, it would show one template, and if post-type=THAT, it could show the normal template that comes with GD. The “listings” that I want to show are pet breed profiles. I don’t really need an “author/owner” section for these pages, I just want to show the breed and it’s relevant information. But I’m not sure how to hook into the various fields in the “add new post” to display the information wherever I want to, or how to customize the side-bar, or maybe even get rid of the sidebar. I’m not sure how to do that with just CSS. I know I can hide or show various items, but how could I move custom fields to completely different parts of the template?

I’m a very junior developer when it comes to this stuff. I can do PHP and all that, but at the lower level. These top-tier, multi-demensional PHP functions are super confusing to me.

It may be simpler to just figure out how to get the GD “favorites” button to work for non-GD post types, as I know how to completely customize those. I’d just have to find a different search solution.
