Need post_type_archive_title function but in ‘single’

by

I’m trying to pull a custom post type name/title out for use in the breadcrumb of a single-[cpt].php template file.

In the archive-[cpt].php I can use post_type_archive_title() and it echo the name.
How would I get this same title in a single view?

Thanks!

I’ve trawled though the codex and haven’t seen a function, but might have missed it!

There doesn’t appear to be one, but the following should work:

//Get post type    
$post_type_obj = get_post_type_object( get_post_type() );
//Get post type's label
$title = apply_filters('post_type_archive_title', $post_type_obj->labels->name );        
$archive_title = apply_filters('post_type_archive_title', $post_type_obj->labels->all_items);

This can, for instance, be put in one generic header template that is applied to all single-cpt files. With is_single() it can be put in an even more generic header template.

For a complete list of labels, see http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type#Arguments
