I have been taking what I thought would be a simple HTML code. I tried to follow this tutorial here:
However, I am not able to get a simple input field to be added to the bottom of any widget. Could someone please tell me what I am missing?
After add below to my functions file, below does not output HTML of any thing withing wp-admin/widgets.php. Help please!
function thmfdn_add_menu_description_option( $widget, $return, $instance ) {
// Are we dealing with a nav menu widget?
if ( 'nav_menu' == $widget->id_base ) {
// Display the description option.
$description = isset( $instance['description'] ) ? $instance['description'] : '';
?>
<p>
<input class="checkbox" type="checkbox" id="<?php echo $widget->get_field_id('description'); ?>" name="<?php echo $widget->get_field_name('description'); ?>" <?php checked( true , $description ); ?> />
<label for="<?php echo $widget->get_field_id('description'); ?>">
<?php _e( 'Show descriptions', 'thmfdn_textdomain' ); ?>
</label>
</p>
<?php
}
}
add_action('in_widget_form', 'thmfdn_add_menu_description_option', 10, 3 );
My goal is to add visibility controls to widgets in order to dynamically display or high them on the frontend based on user logged in or not. To achieve that I want to extend existing widgets by adding extra settings that sets whether a widget should be rendered on frontend based on user status.
Thank you for any correction or solutions.
I would like to edit the text in the header mini cart in Storefront theme:
'X items'
to just :
'X'
http://demo.woothemes.com/storefront/
Where can I access this? Can't find it anywhere in storefront or woocommerce files. I can see hook in header.php:
storefront_header_cart
but can't find any function for this in other files?
I would like to remove the dropdown when you hover over it too. Where can I change this?
that functionality is handled by storefront_cart_link function...
you can override the function... open functions.php... look for require get_template_directory() . '/inc/init.php';
right above it, paste this code...
if ( ! function_exists( 'storefront_cart_link' ) ) {
function storefront_cart_link() {
?>
<a class="cart-contents" href="<?php echo esc_url( WC()->cart->get_cart_url() ); ?>" title="<?php _e( 'View your shopping cart', 'storefront' ); ?>">
<?php echo wp_kses_data( WC()->cart->get_cart_subtotal() ); ?> <span class="count"><?php echo wp_kses_data( sprintf( '%d', WC()->cart->get_cart_contents_count() ) );?></span>
</a>
<?php
}
}
storefront_cart_link is loaded with this call require get_template_directory() . '/inc/init.php';. So above will load first, making it not create that function anymore with the call of require get_template_directory() . '/inc/init.php';.
This will do the trick.. but better use child theme... you can just paste directly the function above on the child theme's functions.php. functions.php on a child theme will load first than that of the parent, so making your function exist first.
I am in the works of throwing together what I believe to be a fairly simple widget for a client site, but being my second Widget ever I still have quite a bit of a learning curve to overcome.
The Story
In this particular project I have attempted to create some textarea inputs to output into some simple paragraph tags. But I kinda tackled it as logically as I could but I am sure it is pretty gross code as I am not a PHP expert by even the leanest standards.
The Issue
My issue is that I wish to have my textarea's output with auto paragraphing. Such as the default text widget wordpress provides when the checkbox is checked. Also maybe just have a look over at how I even created the textarea's. I am sure there is a better practice then what I put together.
Textarea Sample
<p>
<label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'admitted' ); ?>"><?php _e('Admitted to Practice', 'framework') ?></label>
<textarea class="widefat" id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'admitted' ); ?>" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name( 'admitted' ); ?>" value="<?php echo $this->get_field_name( 'admitted' ); ?>" /><?php echo $instance['admitted']; ?></textarea>
</p>
I don't know if maybe putting tinymce on them would help solve this or not (not that I know how to do that) But I am wide open to suggestions.
Take a look at the full code here.
Dropbox Zip of Widget
You know that you can easily look at how the default widgets are built, right? Just go to wp-includes/default-widgets.php
If I understand your issue correctly you are looking for this piece of code in the class WP_Widget_Text in that file,
if ( !empty( $title ) ) { echo $before_title . $title . $after_title; } ?>
<div class="textwidget"><?php echo !empty( $instance['filter'] ) ? wpautop( $text ) : $text; ?></div>
As you can see, it is the wpautop function that does the trick.
I think the way you created your form is fine. If you want to learn best practices, again, Wordpress source code is useful.
I was able to accomplish this using the code below.
<p><strong>Admitted to Practice:</strong><br/><?php echo wpautop($this->admitted_practice); ?></p>
Thank you Calle for your response.
I need to display link after each comment, when you click that link, a new page displays that single coment on a new page.
Is that possible?
I answered your exact question over on WordPress Answers (also a StackExchange site) just yesterday. You can find that answer here. It involved the following four steps:
Setting up the URL Rewriting by adding a query_var, rewrite_tag and a permastruct,
Being sure to flush the rewrite rules in a plugin's activation hook or manually,
Adding a parse_query filter hook to set the query_vars's post to be the comment's post and to disable sticky posts for the query,
Adding a template_include filter hook to filter the template file name to load a template specific template file for a single comment, and lastly
To create the comment template file as /wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/comment.php.
Again, you can find the answer over here.
Hope this helps.

UPDATE:
Below is the full content that I had also posted on WordPress Answers:
There are numerous different ways to accomplish this, some more polished than others and practically all of them with potential for conflict with other plugins, but ignoring all that here's one way that is pretty close to what you asked for. :)
This solution will support a URL format like the following where %comment_id% is the numeric ID of your comment from the wp_comments table:
http://example.com/comments/%comment_id%/
First you'll need to configure your URL rewriting using the following code. Hopefully it is reasonably self-explanitory but don't hesitate to ask:
$wp->add_query_var('comment_id'); // Add the "behind-the-scenes" query variable that WordPress will use
$wp_rewrite->add_rewrite_tag('%comment_id%', '([0-9]+)','comment_id='); // Define a rewrite tag to match that assigns to the query var
$wp_rewrite->add_permastruct('comment-page', 'comments/%comment_id%'); // Define a URL pattern to match the rewrite tag.
You'll also either need to call this code in a plugin activation hook to flush the rules, or if it's your site you can just save permalinks in the admin console's Settings > Permalinks settings area:
global $wp_rewrite;
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules(false);
Next add a parse_query filter hook. This will be called after WordPress has inspected the query. It tests to see if your added comment_id query_var set and if so it tests to see if you are on the desired URL. If yes then it loads the comment array using get_comment() in order to set the 'p' parameter (which should be set to a post ID) to the post that is related to the comment. That way when WordPress runs the query that it is going to run no matter what at least it loads something you'll need in your comment.php theme template file below and you won't have to ran another query later when you need it. This code also tells WordPress to ignore sticky posts using the oddly named caller_get_posts option:
add_filter( 'parse_query', 'my_parse_query' );
function my_parse_query( $query ) {
global $wp;
if (isset($query->query['comment_id']) && substr($wp->request,0,9)=='comments/') {
$comment = get_comment($query->query['comment_id']);
$query->query_vars['p'] = $comment->comment_post_ID; // Causes the comment's post to be loaded by the query.
$query->query_vars['caller_get_posts'] = true; // Keeps sticky posts from invading into the top of our query.
}
}
Still next you'll need to hook the code in /wp-includes/template-loader.php using the template_include filter. This will be called after WordPress has both inspected the query and loaded the post for the comment. Here you'll first check again for comment_id in the query_var and also for the URL being the one you want. If so we replace the /index.php template page with /comment.php which is a theme template file you will need to create:
add_filter( 'template_include', 'my_template_include' );
function my_template_include( $template ) {
global $wp,$wp_query;
if (isset($wp_query->query['comment_id']) && substr($wp->request,0,9)=='comments/') {
$template = str_replace('/index.php','/comment.php',$template);
}
return $template;
}
Lastly now you need to create your theme template file which I've chosen to call /comment.php. Since it's your theme you'll want to make it look like you want but here is an example to get you started:
<?php
/*
* File: /wp-content/themes/my-theme/comment.php
*/
global $wp_query,$post;
$comment_id = $wp_query->query['comment_id'];
$comment = get_comment($comment_id);
$permalink = get_permalink($post->ID);
get_header();
?>
<div id="container">
<div id="comment-<?php echo $comment_id; ?>" class="comment">
<p>Comment by: <span class="comment-author">
<?php echo $comment->comment_author; ?></span>
on <span class="comment-date"><?php echo date("D M jS Y", strtotime($comment->comment_date)); ?></span>
at <span class="comment-time"><?php echo date("h:ia", strtotime($comment->comment_date)); ?></span>
</p>
<p>About: <?php echo $post->post_title; ?></p>
<blockquote><?php echo $comment->comment_content; ?></blockquote>
</div>
</div>
<?php
get_sidebar();
get_footer();
Any questions? Just ask.
Hope this helps.
P.S. All of the code I describing above can either go in your theme's functions.php file and/or in a plugin of your own. A caveat is for the URL rewrite flushing rules that should go in a plugin activation hook if you are going to include it instead us just flushing them manually in the permalinks section of the admin console. I didn't show how to register an activation hook do but if you want to learn more you can read about it here.
(New edited version after OP's comments)
There are many ways to do this. In theory this is the simplest, but maybe not 'most appropriate according to WordPress' way. Take this as a starting point. I haven't tested it, so you may encounter an error or two that should be solvable with some minor tweaks. Let me know if you get stumped and I'll do my best. So conceptually...
You should copy the page.php template file and rename it to 'comments_page.php' (or whatever you like). Open this file in your code editor and find where the following appears: (or create it if it does not exist)
/*Template Name: page*/
and change it to
/*Template Name: comments_page*/
Now open your WordPress admin area and create a new page. Call it whatever you want but don't add any content. In the right hand column, select the template that the page uses from the "Page Template" drop down menu. Select 'comments_page' (or whatever you listed as the template name). This tells WordPress to use your file to show this specific page instead of the default page template. Save the page and note the page_id that WordPress generates.
Now, find your theme's comments template, usually 'comments.php'. Find the function wp_list_comments();. We are going to add the name of a custom function that will control the display of your comments as an argument to this function. For an example, go to the twenty-ten theme's files, open comments.php and you'll see what that looks like:
wp_list_comments( array( 'callback' => 'twentyten_comment' ) );
Open the twenty-ten theme's functions.php and find
function twentyten_comment()
Copy that entire function and paste it into your theme's functions file. Change the name to' my_comment()', and add that to the wp_list_comments function call like this:
wp_list_comments( array('callback'=>'my_comment'));
In your newly-created 'my_comment()' function in your functions.php file, add a link where you want to the separate page of comments (comments_page.php) using get_page_link() and a query var named 'commentID' and the comments ID.
View this comment
Now to inappropriately add php logic to a template file. Once you understand how this works, you can create a function in your functions.php file and then call it in the theme file...
On comments_page.php ,use $_GET['commentID'] to retrieve the comment's id value from the url, and pass it to get_comment($commentID) to retrieve the single comment and display it on a single page.
if(isset($_GET['commentID'])){$commentID = $_GET['commentID'];}
$comment = get_comment($commentID);
Now you have all the single comments information in the $comment variable as an object.
You can decide how to display the comment, but to start, I recommend copying the contents of your theme's comments template to keep things consistent. It will show exactly the same thing the post page shows, but it sounds like this page is intended more for the permalink to a single comment that you link to from somewhere else.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you run into a snag.

I need a second opinion on something. I am trying to use the WP Post plugin as described in the following link:
http://www.seoadsensethemes.com/wordpress-wp-post-thumbnail-plugin/
You will see a section toward the bottom stating that you can call the feature using the following code:
$Wppt->get_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'post-thumbnail-square' );
It shows the following example inserted into the post loop:
<!-- wp post thumbnail -->
<?php if ( function_exists( "$Wppt->get_post_thumbnail" ) ) {
$thumb = $Wppt->get_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'thumbnail-custom-key-name' );
if ( !empty( $thumb ) ) { ?>
<img class="thumbnail" src="<?php echo $thumb['url']; ?>" title="<?php echo $thumb['title']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $thumb['alt']; ?>" width="<?php echo $thumb['width']; ?>" height="<?php echo $thumb['height']; ?>" />
<?php }
} ?>
<!-- wp post thumbnail -->
I cannot get this to work. Can someone tell me how this should specifically be used? I am simply pasting the code above my loop on the default theme, replacing the 'thumbnail-custom-key-name' with the one assigned to my thumbnail. Is this the right way to do it?
In your sample code it looks like you're using a default value 'thumbnail-custom-key-name' is that the name of an actual preset you've made?
