i'm using the twentytwelve theme and i have to write custom content into my example template.
I want to maintain my header content so the main structure is the following
header = id page, wrapper
ex.page = primary, content
footer = close wrapper, close id page
If i have understood correctly, if i want to insert content into the middle of my page i have to do it into my template page (that is a copy of the main page.php), that is in the middle between my header and my footer
For example i want to insert a div into which insert the loop of such category.
The problem is that it displays me nothing, like i've wrote nothing. I can only see the contents if i erase all the originary div, but it's not what i want to do, just because the only div is the page which is my container.
I can't catch what i have to do.
Can you tell me what i forgot to do?
Thanks,
Alex
page.php is a "master" document. header.php, footer.php and (if it exists) sidebar.php are all imported into page.php. Twenty Twelve also uses atomized content templates. You may need to add your div to content-page.php, which is also imported into page.php. content-page.php is used inside the wordpress loop, and encapsulates the code that pulls in the actual article elements from the wordpress database.
If you are trying to add straight HTML to the templates, ensure that you are not adding code between the php brackets:
<?php // don't add html here ?>
<div>do add html here</div>
Depending upon the type of wordpress page you are trying to display, you may need to consult the Wordpress Template hierarchy to determine the proper Wordpress naming convention for your template file (the copy of page.php).
Technically speaking, everything in content-page.php can be put into page.php replacing the get_template_part function. All the 'content' pages are totally not required and can be combined into one file if you want simplicity.
In my opinion, it's easier to start from scratch when learning Wordpress rather than try and re-work something. The default wordpress themes don't lend themselves to be beginner friendly.

I've created a custom page(template), in fact, at this moment, I did a blank page, like, page-newpage.php(inside child theme dir structure), I've also already created a page called "newpage" and it is partially working, I mean, the page runs ok, but with parent theme(beClinic) header and footer.
Can someone give me a clue about how to remove theme header and footer?
Thanks!!!
In your page-newpage.php may be you have added below code.
get_header(); - This call header.php file of the active theme/parent theme
get_footer(); - This call footer.php file of the active theme/parent theme
In order to remove header and footer, you need to remove above functions from your your page-newpage.php
But if you remove, then WordPress functions will not work in your page-newpage.php
So what you can do is create custom header and footer for your page-newpage.php

I'm drupal beginner, and can't solve problem with landing page. I create landing page with panels, set custom css code to it but it doesn't look how I want. I see default elements from my theme (header, nav-menu, etc.) on it. I want that layout fill all my page, how can I achieve it?
I have it
I want do like it
well, I found solution for this problem. I use bootstrap 3 sub theme, and there is file who provide page template, it calls node.tpl.php. I just remove string <div class="main-container <?php print $container_class; ?>"> and now it works well.
go to page.tpl.php file, remove the lines that render the header, the logo and the title. They would usually be in an if statement and the varibles are $logo, $site_name, $main_menu, $title.
I've created a custom template by copying page.php and then removing basically everything except for the CSS link, so it looks like this:
The div on line 20 just puts a red box on the page so I can recognize that this template, and the linked CSS file, are handling the page. (The idea is to create a large blank page where I can put large tables. I don't want any header markup or sidebar markup, etc., to distract attention from the table.)
I see the red box fine, but when I try to insert a shortcode on the page, to insert a table from TablePress, the shortcode isn't processed. I assume I removed something from page.php that is needed to process shortcodes, since a normal new page, that uses page.php, processes the shortcode fine. Does anyone know what I might have removed that killed the shortcodes?
Thanks.
Two thoughts about your code / problem:
1) I think you should not insert the stylesheet link like this. See: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_register_style
2) You can insert the shortcode with
<?php
echo do_shortcode('[ShortcodeName]');
?>
I'm developing a content slider for Wordpress and I would know how is possible to put this content slider (as html content) into the body before the loop.
I tried to filter the content with add_filter('the_content', 'functionName), but I get the content slider before each post.
If you use add_filter('the_content'), your function will be called everytime the content of a post is output, whether a single post or a series of posts in a loop. If you need to "hook" before any post content is output in a page, the only dynamic parts of all WP themes you can reach are get_header() or get_sidebar() (or event get_footer). So your best luck would be not to use a filter with the content, but an action, with get_header, like this :
add_action('get_header', 'your_function'); // Add priority & param args if necessary
The problem is that this gets executed before header.php is called, and usually, the body tag is opened in header.php...
That is if you cannot modify the theme itself. Otherwise, you can easily add an action in the theme itself and execute it where you want.
Another technique would be to add your html content after document is ready, through JavaScript which you can output in the footer.
I have recently started on Drupal (v 7) to create a small company website.
After much reading and watching tutorials, I have started to create my new theme from scratch. I have defined regions and customised the page.tpl.php file to place them into the template (and node.tpl.php etc). All these changes are working and the layout is looking good, and any item I add appears in the main content output.
In my footer region, I have created a block in which I would like links to appear. I have also created a content-type called footer links (with relevant fields) and I have created a couple items of content for it.
The block is showing fine (the title and block body appear). However, despite scouring the documentation, I am not sure what needs to be done to make the items of content (footer links) appear in this block.
Any help appreciated, thanks!
info file snippet for a region
regions[footer_one] = Footer Column One
... and code in page.tpl.php
<div class="one">
<?php if ($page['footer_one']): ?>
<?php print render($page['footer_one']); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
If you just need simple footer links, no need to create a content type for this, you can simple create a menu and add a menu block in footer.
If you really want to use your own content type for these links, you can create a view (with views module) to display what you want in a block.
About creating a theme from scratch, did you try before to create a sub theme ?
PS: I don't think drupal is a good cms for "small company website".
Views is really powerful and sounds like it will do exactly what you need. Otherwise, you can create a menu for your items and place that menu in your region as well.
Regarding your original code, you'd probably need to grab the information about the nodes from the database in order to construct a list on your own, but views basically does that for you :)
