# Default Custom Post Type Content

 * I’m developing a WordPress site that has many custom post types. Each custom 
   post type has custom fields.
 * I’m looking for an easy way to automatically fill the content of each custom 
   post. There’s a plugin called Default Post Content that does what I want, however
   it does it for all posts regardless of post type. I’d like it to work with each
   custom post type.
 * I was trying to do something with templates but couldn’t figure out how to make
   each custom post type automatically select a correct template.

 * template choice is controlled by the template hierarchy:

 * Is there a way to do it with a plugin? I’m not too keen on hard coding.
