[Resolved] Get content template id by slug

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The user would like to get a content template ID by slug.

Solution:
Content templates are just posts on an internal custom post type "view-template", you can get the post id by slug using the get_page_by_path function from WordPress.

For example:

$id = get_page_by_path('my-content-template-from-product', OBJECT, 'view-template');
