I can control the custom template to be used on custom post type pages but the template file would still need to have the markup of the theme. I was wondering if I could make it theme independent?
Example: I have a plugin that registers my custom post type. I have the post meta info that I want to show in a custom template. I have that template working on my custom post type pages but the max I could do is to use get_header() & get_footer() calls but I can’t deal out the need of having the theme markup between header & footer.
Did that make any sense? Any ideas?

I have got it working by the following code:
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'ft_job_cpt_template' );
function ft_job_cpt_template() {
global $wp, $wp_query;
if ( isset( $wp->query_vars['post_type'] ) && $wp->query_vars['post_type'] == 'job' ) {
if ( have_posts() ) {
add_filter( 'the_content', 'ft_job_cpt_template_filter' );
}
else {
$wp_query->is_404 = true;
}
}
}
function ft_job_cpt_template_filter( $content ) {
global $wp_query;
$jobID = $wp_query->post->ID;
$output=""; // Build markup fetching info from postmeta
return $output;
}
Feel free to comment on any suggestions.
