identifying the current post type on admin screen.

[Haluk Karamete]

on admin pages, how can I detect that the current admin is dealing with a
cpt?

dealing meas: he is about to "add new" or "edit" or "delete" a post that
belongs to that cpt.

something of this sort is what I'm looking for;

if (is_admin() and get_post_type( $post ) == 'that_cpt')
bingo...

which obviously would not work.

There are a couple of ways to get the post type of the page being edited.
Here's one works for me:

add_filter( 'admin_head', 'get_cpt_page' );

function get_cpt_page() {
if ( 'that_cpt' == get_post_type() ) {
// do cool stuff here
}
}

get_current_screen()->post_type. This will also specify a post type when
it's a taxonomy being edited. To filter that out ensure that
get_current_screen()->base === 'post', which is for edit.php, post-new.php,
and post.php (for all post types).

Use the function get_current_screen to identifier the current page,
including post type.
You can use the plugin Debug Objects to see all data of get_current_screen
to easier understand the benefit.
