I have registered a custom post type "tutorials" with the following snippet.
<?php
/*
Template Name: Tutorial Archive
*/
get_header(); ?>
<div id="content">
<div class="archive-page">
<?php
$temp = $wp_query;
$wp_query = null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$wp_query->query('showposts=8&post_type=tutorials'.'&paged='.$paged);
if ($wp_query->have_posts()) :
?>
<h1>Tutorials Archive</h1>
<?php while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
<article class="posts" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

<div class="posts-entry"><?php $excerpt = get_the_excerpt(); echo archive_excerpt($excerpt,40); ?> →</div></article>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php if( function_exists('numeric_pagination')) { numeric_pagination(); } else { ?>
<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »') ?></div>
</div><?php } ?>
<?php $wp_query = null; $wp_query = $temp; // reset ?>
<?php else : ?>

I have taxonomy-tcat.php to display posts archived with custom taxonomies which is working fine without any issues.
Now, only couple of days back I came across http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types page and read about "URLs of Namespaced Custom Post Types Identifiers" section. The example on that page shows "acme_product" is being registered as custom post type and using the "products" slug to rewrite the permalink structure. Do you think I should have registered my custom post type as "mytutorials" (or something else) instead of "tutorials"? or something else went wrong? I am so confused. Please help. Thanks.
