When is get_template_part() preferable to simply using the template.php files? Thanks John. I chose Chris' answer arbitrarily (yours are very similar) because he posted it 1 minute before you. :) |

Why is my custom sidebar always open on the widgets screen in Admin? Interesting. But are you then supposed to use numeric IDs for sidebars? I would have thought that could be a conflict risk... my id is a unique identifier that should not collide with any others. Is there a better alternative? |

TwentyTen: Overloading template.php files vs. get_template_part Thanks, Rarst. You make me feel better about not following every single convention outlined in TwentyTen. Like Bainternet's response, it sounds like TwentyTen is almost over-designed just to show you what's possible. |

Best practice for including plugin output in a template without using shortcode? highlighted "best practice" because I'm really looking for idiomatic and best-practice ways of achieving what I'm asking. |

Best practice for including plugin output in a template without using shortcode? Hey kaiser, thanks for these interesting suggestions. Let me see if I understand them all. A) in the template file, just check for the existence of the plugin function B) in the template, create an action hook and in the plugin, listen for that action (that one seems kinda 'backward' doesn't it? - very creative!) C) in the plugin, make it so that every time you publish a post, it adds the attachment list to the end. This one is probably not a very good approach - but really creative! Thanks for the suggestions. |

Best practice for including plugin output in a template without using shortcode? I'm still very interested in everyone's recommendations and best practices. The solution that I believe (so far) to be the most flexible and "WordPress-like" is to create a widget in my plugin, then to use a custom sidebar in the theme (on the custom-post-type.php page) that makes a spot under the_content available for widgets. This seems to be the most flexible and idiomatic way to do it, but I'm really hoping to hear other suggestions to improve my knowledge! |

Best practice for including plugin output in a template without using shortcode? Thanks for the response, Chris. If I am understanding your approach correctly, you're suggesting that I add a filter in my plugin that automatically attaches my attachments output to the end of the_content if the page is my custom post type page? This is brilliant, EXCEPT that it requires a tight coupling between my plugin and that custom post type. If someone else wants to use my plugin with their other custom post type, then they would have to go in and modify my plugin code, no? Or am I missing something? |
