How does get template part works in twenty ten theme — Presentation Transcript
- How Does get_template_partWorks In Twenty Ten Theme By: Rozani Ghani http://rozanighani.com/
- What Exactly GET_template_part is?• get_template_part is used to load a template part into a template (other than header, sidebar, footer)• get_template_part is used for child theme development but actually is not just for child theme development only, is there more than that.
- Let See how GET_template_part is originated?• We see how get_template_part works.• This example may vary with how developer perception but this is just to illustrate how the the get_template_part works.• I use index.html as the very famous example.• As a clear example, I use the index.php in Twenty Ten Theme.
- Index.html• A wordpress index.html mostly consist of these 4 basic template php files: header.php, index.php, sidebar.php and also footer.php.• I visualize these files in order to understand get_template_part is.

- Header.php Index.html Index.php Sidebar.php• We break the index.html intothe basic wordpress templatefiles. Footer.php
- • We break the index.html into the basic wordpress template files. That is header.php,index.php, sidebar.php and footer.php Header.php Index.html Index.php Sidebar.php Footer.php
- • We break the php into standard WordPress Codex tags. Header.php <?php get_header(); ?> <?php Index.php Sidebar.php Index.php get_sidebar(); ?> Footer.php <?php get_footer(); ?>
- How About index.php? <?php get_header(); ?> • Suppose there is a code to replace index.php that is <?php get_index (); ?> • After search in the WordPress codex, <?php <?php get_index (); ?> is not exist.Index.php get_sidebar(); ?> • I prefer not to discuss get_index because WordPress already done stuff to make the index.php working smoothly. <?php get_footer(); ?>
- Next…• We going directly to get_template_part.• But first, we going to understand this example.• <?php get_template_part( $slug, $name ); ?>• <?php get_template_part( loop, index ); ?>• What the heck are these?
- What is $slug and $name?• At the 1st sight, I don’t really understand what $slug and $name are.• But, I take them as these: $slug as $ parent $name as $child• As I take them like that, it much easier to understand get_template_part and very much of child theme
- Recall…• <?php get_template_part( $slug, $name ); ?> can be written also is <?php get_template_part( $slug ); ?>• We going to convert those code such as get_header into get_template_part (‘header’)
- We going to convert those code such as get_header into get_template_part (‘header’) <?php <?php get_header(); ?> get_template_part(‘header’); ?> <?php <?php <?php get_template_Index.php get_sidebar(); get_template_part part(‘sidebar’) ?> (‘index’); ?> ; ?> <?php <?php get_footer(); ?> get_template_part(‘footer’); ?>
- We can conclude that the get_template_part works like this. <?php get_header(); ?><?php get_template_part(‘index’); ?> <?php get_sidebar(); ?> <?php get_footer(); ?>
- The real index.php of Twenty Ten Theme looks like this. <?php get_header(); ?><div id="container"> <div id="content" role="main"><?php get_template_part( loop, index );?> <?php get_sidebar(); ?> </div><!-- #content --></div><!-- #container --> <?php get_footer(); ?>
- Index.php of Twenty Ten Theme• Its look this:• The index.php is using <?php get_template_part (‘loop’, ‘index’); ?>
- Why?• <?php get_template_part (‘loop’, ‘index’); ?> is used to load loop-index.php.• What if loop-index.php not exists?• get_template_part will load loop.php
- Back to $slug and $nameCoding Technically File Rename Technically• Codex: • Codex:• <?php get_template_part( • $slug-$name.php $slug, $name ); ?>• Example: • Example:• <?php get_template_part( • loop-index.php loop, index ); ?> • must have “-” between $slug and $name
- Why $parent and $child?• To me, it is easier to understand and not much confused.• Back to loop-index.php, this file already a child php file.• If <?php get_template_part (‘loop’, ‘index’); ?> try to load loop-index.php but it fail, it will load her parent php file which is loop.php• Agree ?

- Another Example Much Similar• If you have Twenty Ten Theme, you should the the footer.php file. See this:• Much prettier right? But it is for sidebar.• That code will load sidebar-footer.php
- sidebar-footer.php• <?php get_sidebar( footer );?>• is similar to• <?php get_template_part ( footer );?>• Why?• Look the php file which is sidebar-footer.php• Revise back what you have learn.
