TwentyTen was designed to help understand the WordPress theming system and that is why it has more lines of comments then actual code. So looking at TwentyTen you need to understand that they tried to include every file in the Template Hierarchy (eg: attachment.php, single.php, page.php) and every template tag there is (including: get_template_part() which … Read more
The question was about how to use a template that is not in the theme’s folder, but in a plugin’s folder. The template needs to be used for a specific page. The need for the answer doesn’t matter. There is a need; how do I do it? And the answer is to use the template_include … Read more
You have a few issues here The following piece of code is wrong and unnecessary $category = get_post(); $category = $category->post_title; The current page object is saved in get_queried_object(), so you can use this function to get your post title.

You use get_query_var(‘post_type’) to set the post type in your args array $args[‘post_type’] = get_query_var(‘post_type’); and also include the right loop part based on that for example: if (get_query_var(‘post_type’) == “event”){ get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘event’ ); }else{ get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘other’ ); }

Using is_page(8) will make your code a bit static. Let’s make it dynamic as you’re after with is_page_template(): <?php function prefix_conditional_body_class( $classes ) { if( is_page_template(‘mytemplate.php’) ) $classes[] = ‘mytemplate’; return $classes; } add_filter( ‘body_class’, ‘prefix_conditional_body_class’ ); Worked for me in a child theme with the template file in the root of the child theme, … Read more
No, don’t hardcode the ID’s for pages in your CSS. You might want to use the same styles elsewhere, or if the stylesheet is cached for users, they might not immediately see your changes you push up if you don’t version the stylesheet.

A page template defines the full rendered content displayed: header, footer, content – everything. So, at the very least, you’ll need to call get_header() and get_footer(), or manually add the header and footer code to the template.
