I'm trying to style a search page in wordpress. In search.php I can style most of the page but then the following statement (which I got from the original uneditted page) generates the content.
<?php
/* Include the Post-Format-specific template for the content.
* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
* called content-___.php (where ___ is the Post Format name) and that will be used instead.
*/
get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );
?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
This ALMOST displays the page as I want it, but there are a few elements off the page, making it expand etc. I can't figure out what file is generating this content!
Using the instructions I created a content-search.php and change the line of code to this...
get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );
Which works...but it doesn't display much of anything because I don't know what to put in my page within seeing the original.
Anyone have any clue?
You can use a template part named post-search.php and can use it inside your search.php file like
get_template_part( 'post' , 'search')
but you have to create a php file inside your theme folder and name it post-search.php and inside this file just put the WordPress' loop i.e.
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post-entry clearfix"> <!-- Main wrapper -->
<div class="post-entry-content"> <!-- Post-entry-content -->
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class="post-entry-date">Posted on <?php the_time('F Y') ?> with <?php comments_popup_link('0 Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></div>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
Read More ?
</div><!-- END of post-entry-content -->
</div><!--End of main wrapper -->
<?php endwhile; ?>
and your search.php could be something like this
<?php get_header(' '); ?>
<div id="post-wrap">
<div id="post-content">
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'post' , 'search') ?> // This will load/include the file post-search.php and result will be displayed as formatted in this file
<?php else : ?>
<p>Sorry, it does not exist !</p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!-- END post-conten -->
<?php get_sidebar(' '); ?>
</div><!-- END post-wrap -->
<?php get_footer(' '); ?>
This is just an example, change div/h2 id/class names according to your theme css.
Note: I'm currently using this approach in one of my site and I've one file named 'post-entry.php' in my theme folder and in my every template file (index.php, search.php e.t.c) I just use this file by calling
<?php get_template_part( 'post' , 'entry') ?>

i m new to Drupal 7 and in this forum, please be nice :)
I m trying to customize a bit the drupal module "On the web" (that display facebook and youtube link button). This module work great but I would like to to modify the position of the social images provided by this module inside a sub theme of Zen. I could be nice to put it at the left-top the header region.
As it says in the documentation I :
1)
Place the following code in the template.php file in your theme, and replace 'mytheme' with the name of your theme:
/**
* Overrides theme_on_the_web_image().
*/
function mytheme_on_the_web_image($variables) {
return $variables['service'];
}
2) I add this line : <div id="myidtomodifythecssafter"> <?php print $service; ?></div> in the page.tpl.php like following :
<?php if ($site_name || $site_slogan): ?>
<div id="name-and-slogan">
<div id="myidtomodifythecssafter"> <?php print $service; ?></div>
<?php if ($site_name): ?>
<?php if ($title): ?>
<div id="site-name"><strong>
<span><?php print $site_name; ?></span>
</strong></div>
<?php else: /* Use h1 when the content title is empty */ ?>
<h1 id="site-name">
<span><?php print $site_name; ?></span>
</h1>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ($site_slogan): ?>
<div id="site-slogan"><?php print $site_slogan; ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!-- /#name-and-slogan -->
<?php endif; ?>
3) I cleared the cache
but then the module images don't appear and i got this error in the front page :
Notice: Undefined variable: service in include()
i don't understand, what did I miss ?
Ok after reading the module code :
The function zhongdao_on_the_web_image is for theming the rendering of your anchor tags. Not really what you want here, so you can remove it.
This module create a block (under admin > structure > bloc) that you can position anywhere in your theme regions, then up to you to style it differently with CSS.
But if you want to render the block content another solution is this one :
https://www.drupal.org/node/26502
Wich will translate to something like this :
<?php if ($site_name || $site_slogan): ?>
<div id="name-and-slogan">
<div id="myidtomodifythecssafter">
<?php
$block = module_invoke('on_the_web', 'block_view', 0 /* might want to change depending of your block*/);
print render($block['content']);
?>
</div>
<?php if ($site_name): ?>
<?php if ($title): ?>
<div id="site-name"><strong>
<span><?php print $site_name; ?></span>
</strong></div>
<?php else: /* Use h1 when the content title is empty */ ?>
<h1 id="site-name">
<span><?php print $site_name; ?></span>
</h1>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ($site_slogan): ?>
<div id="site-slogan"><?php print $site_slogan; ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!-- /#name-and-slogan -->
<?php endif; ?>
I want to display name of multiple authors on the front end like below
By John Doe,Linn Doe and Penny
In the back end I can add many users for the same post.But In the front end only the first author on the post shows up both for the byline and the bio. I'm using Twenty Thirteen theme and how to show all the user added in the back end in the front end?
this is my single.php file
get_header(); ?>
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
<div id="content" class="site-content" role="main">
<?php /* The loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
<?php twentythirteen_post_nav(); ?>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #primary -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Incorporate Co-Authors Plus template tags into your theme
Other Solution:
In order to add add Co-Authors Plus support you must have access to edit the theme template. In order to display information about multiple authors on the fronted, you'll need to add the necessary Co-Authors Plus template tags to your single.php and other theme files.
Specifically for the bylines, you'll want to replace where it says something like:
<?php the_author(); ?>
With something like this:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'coauthors' ) ) { coauthors(); } else { the_author(); } ?>
That specific snippet will allow your theme to degrade gracefully when Co-Authors Plus isn't activated.
To show the authors with their posts link, you'll want to use something like:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'coauthors_posts_links' ) ) { coauthors_posts_links(); } else { the_author_posts_link(); } ?>
You can use the following code for the bios
<?php $coauthors = get_coauthors(); ?>
<?php foreach( $coauthors as $coauthor ): ?>
<center><div class="authbio">
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/<?php echo $coauthor->user_firstname; ?>.jpg" alt="" class="alignleft"/>
<?php $userdata = get_userdata( $coauthor->ID ); ?>
<?php if ( $userdata->user_description ) echo $userdata->user_description; ?>
</div></center>
<?php endforeach; ?>
Reference
I'm having a problem when it comes to adding sidebar at single.php. I already included
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
But it seems to be appear below and the content(Blog post) still at the middle of the whole page. I've tried to check all of the previous forum but none of them helped me to figure this out.
Here's my single.php
<?php
/**
* The template for displaying all single posts.
*
* #package Tesseract
*/
get_header(); ?>
<div id="primary" class="full-width-page">
<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'single' ); ?>
<?php tesseract_post_nav(); ?>
<?php
// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template
if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) :
comments_template();
endif;
?>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
</main><!-- #main -->
</div><!-- #primary -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
The most logical reason for this to happen is that there isn't enough room for both the main content and the sidebar to appear next to each other. Check the width of your sections in your stylesheet and make the necessary changes to the styles.
First of all you create the sidebar in the admin and then call that sidebar where you want.Following is the code for calling sidebar
<ul id="sidebar">
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'right-sidebar' ); ?>

I'd like my homepage to display my latest posts which are portfolio projects of mine. Beneath these project thumbnails I've got my static content which I'm using the Repeater add-on from Advanced Custom Fields to grab. I cant get it all to work on the same page... either get the blog to work or the ACF stuff to work. Never both because one needs to be a designated static page and one needs to be a posts page. I don't understand how to tie it together and make it appear as one page.
I've experimented with the settings in the reading panel..
I've tried using front-page.php
I've read up on the WP hierarchy etc
I've tried using templates...
I've tried wp_reset_postdata(); which I read about elsewhere on Stack Overflow.
What settings must I use in the reading panel. Do I need to use a template file?
Here's the code I'm working with, I've split the code between templates and different files already, but just for ease of reading its all together here (maybe that's the right way to do it anyway, I wouldn't know..)
<!-- The posts/portfolio items -->
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div>
<?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
<ul>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<li>
<!-- Permalink,title and post thumbnail here (omitted) -->
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php else: ?>
<h2>No Posts found</h2>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<!-- Now for the ACF Stuff -->
<?php if(get_field('care_list')): ?>
<?php while(has_sub_field('care_list')): ?>
<div class="grid_2 what-i-care-about gap">
<div class="important-img-container">
<?php the_sub_field('care_list_image'); ?>
</div>
<h3><?php the_sub_field('care_list_title'); ?></h3>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Please help a frustrated learner! Thanks in advance.
It looks like you're going to need to add the post id of your 'home page' (the one with the ACF repeater on it) to the get_field() function like so:
<?php $post_id = **post_id_of_your_homepage_here**; ?>
<?php if(get_field('care_list', $post_id)): ?>
<?php while(has_sub_field('care_list')): ?>
<div class="grid_2 what-i-care-about gap">
<div class="important-img-container">
<?php the_sub_field('care_list_image'); ?>
</div>
<h3><?php the_sub_field('care_list_title'); ?></h3>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
This is because the $post_id parameter defaults to the current post being brought up by wordpress, which means ACF is looking for the repeater on the last Portfolio item/post you are displaying. If you set the $post_id parameter to the ID of your homepage, ACF will instead look for the repeater on that page.

If I'm understanding correctly, you have a bunch of posts and you want to display a list of them with title and post thumbnail on your homepage, and then display a custom field you've assigned to the homepage underneath the list of posts?
Step 1: Create a new page template by copying page.php, changing the name to homepage.php and adding this to the top:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Homepage
*/ ?>
Step 2: Crete a Wordpress page called "Homepage" and in the attributes module in the right sidebar of the page creation tool, select "Homepage" as your page template.
Step 3: In your reading settings, change the front page from posts page to "Homepage." Now your homepage is your page called "Homepage."
Step 4: Make something like this the full code on your new page template homepage.php. It will output your posts list followed by your page custom field:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if(get_field('repeater_field_name')): ?>
<?php while(has_sub_field('repeater_field_name')): ?>
<?php the_sub_field('sub_field_1'); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I have a wordpress plugin (broadstreet) which is a company directory and has list of companies. But I want to display in different style to match the rest of the website. Now all the company details are stored in the plugin. Is it possible for me to read the data stored in the plugin and display in a page and publish the same using wordpress? If so how?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Yes you can, In this case, what I do is create a custom template page. For that you can go to theme you are refering and make a copy of page.php file and rename it. let's say it is directory-page.php.
Next go to admini panel and create a new menu item and set it is template to derectory-page.
Now you can open it and customise as you expect it.
get_header(); ?>
<div id="primary" class="site-content">
<div id="content" role="main">
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php //get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>
<?php// comments_template( '', true ); ?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #primary -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
If you want to remove the blog content and call your directry displaying method.
simply, comment out
<?php //get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>
<?php// comments_template( '', true ); ?>
<?php echo call_directory_display();?>
Now you have to implement call_directory_display() method in your plugin to show content in derectory-page.
If you have any questions ask in comments.
