[FIXED] How to catch the specific page template in WordPress

Issue

Here is a screenshot:

I want to catch a specific page template and show meta box according the specific page template. I have tried to with it:

$pageTemplate = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wp_page_template', true);

but is not working.

Solution

Add the following code to functions.php:

add_filter('template_include', 'var_template_include', 1000);
function var_template_include($t) {
    $GLOBALS['current_theme_template'] = basename($t);
    return $t;
}
    
function get_current_template() {
    if (isset($GLOBALS['current_theme_template'])) {
        return $GLOBALS['current_theme_template'];
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

You'll then be able to do the following:

$pageTemplate = get_current_template();
