Usecase
When you work with additional functions like custom meta boxes within custom post types you might want to find the post_type of the current editing post. For example to work with only 1 metabox for different post types and add/remove certain elements depending on the post. Starting from WordPress 3.3 it's quite easy to fulfill this but it's hard to find this information online. So I hope I can help you out a little.
Howto
Just add the following function within your functions.php:
function get_wpadmin_post_type() {
$screen = get_current_screen();
$post_type = $screen->id;
return $post_type;
}
Now you can simply callup this function from within any other function to get the post_type. I am sure you know how to do that 😉
