WordPress e-commerce conditional statement - wordpress

I'm using latest version of WP e-Commerce on WP 3.3.1
What I'm trying to do is show some stuff on my sidebar only for shop pages.
Therefore I'm looking for conditional statement similar to the following one but that will work :)
if (shop) {"do it"} else {dont}
Any help much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

OK, I've figure this out if anyone ever need it here it is :
If not product page: <?php if ('wpsc-product' != get_post_type()) { ?>
do stuff <?php }?> If product page: <?php if ('wpsc-product' == get_post_type()) { ?>
do stuff <?php }?>

template management with wordpress (underscore boilerplate)

I am using underscore to develop a wordpress theme.
I have a custom post type name project, thus I have, for instance, this url: http://a.site.local/projects/a-beauty/.
I have in my template-parts/ directory the file content-projects.
$ cat template-parts/content-projects.php
<h1>Project</h1>
When I browse http://a.site.local/projects/a-beauty/, I have my title but also the sidebar and the footer (even if they do not appear in my content-project.php nor in index.php).
Where are those widgets coming from / loaded ?
Add conditions to the header, footer and sidebar.
For whole custom post archive:
<?php if( !is_post_type_archive( 'project' ) ) : ?>
// wrap the code you don't want to show on that archive
<?php endif; ?>
For custom post only:
<?php if( !is_singular( 'project' ) ) : ?>
// wrap the code you don't want to show on the post
<?php endif; ?>
If you want to put the code you WANT to show, remove the '!' before condition.
P.S.
You can put the whole content in a condition, but keep the
</div><!-- #page -->
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>
otherwise the page will break :)
Please share some more code from your project so we can easy to understand the real problem.

wp_title showing page title but not site title

I couldn't find an answer to this question anywhere and I have a hard time believing I'm the only one who has had this problem.
My title function inside my title tag of header.php, <?php wp_title('|', true, 'right'); ?>, is returning the page title but not the site title.
Example: About Us |
Why would it not be returning the site name??
Looks like wp_title() does not return the site's title. Sorry, hopefully someone will benefit from this answer.
I've never tried combining the entire title inside one function. Instead I use multiple calls:
<?php wp_title(''); ?><?php if(wp_title('', false)) { echo ' |'; } ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>

Home Page Only Footer

I have a blog, http://sweatingthebigstuff.com and I would like to add an extra line in the footer which will display only from the homepage. I found this code, but it is not working for me. Do I have the wrong syntax or is there something else I can try to get this to work?
<?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>
text
<?php } ?>
Here is where footer.php is called
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar1.php'); ?>
<div class="cleared"></div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
And here is the footer code:
text 2
Contact | Disclaimer | Privacy StatementCopyright © 2009-2010 Sweating The Big Stuff. All Rights Reserved.
and then some sitemeter crap.
is_home() sets a global var that doesn't seem to reset itself or re-evaluate, wp kinda strange.
Try putting wp_reset_query() at the end start of your if statement code
Actually, it'll be better to call it before as we can ensure the queries are reset
<?php wp_reset_query();
if ( is_home() ) { ?>
text
<?php } ?>
Now that the php is working, ideally you'd want the code above.
text
I just did a view source and I can plainly see the php code, which shouldn't be visible since it is meant to be parsed server side. The following shouldn't be there in the view source.... wrong file being edited?
<p>
<?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>
text
<?php } ?>
<wp_reset_query()>
<br />
<br />
The footer.php file should be located in wp-content/themes/nameofyourtheme folder
is_home() is a method that should return true or false. You need to implement this method somewhere. If blogspot doesn't implement this method for you, you need to do it yourself. For your website I think this function would do what you want:
<?php
function is_home(){
$r = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
return $r == '/' || $r == '' || $r == '/index.php';
}
if(is_home()) {
?>
text
<?php } ?>
And where you want the footer, put:
<?php include 'footer.php'; ?>
instead of the line:
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I believe your problem is that get_footer() is reading the footer as text, so it isn't executing the PHP beforehand. If you do it this way you can add as much PHP in the header as you want.
There is nothing wrong with your syntax, and when I view your page source, I see " text "
What is the file extension of your footer page? if it is "footer.php" then I shouldn't see the opening and closing terms for php (). php won't run unless the file extension is ".php"
as to a previous answer:
<?php wp_reset_query();?> should go BEFORE <?php if(is_home()){?>text<?php } ?> in this scenario. is_home() depends on a loop being present on the page. Maybe somewhere you used a custom query, or one of your plugins used a custom query that upset the default query vars. Like I said, use the reset statement before your if statement.
You need to modify the code to include a check for is_front_page() like so:
<?php
$ishomepage = ( is_home() || is_front_page() );
switch( $ishomepage )
{
case true :
echo 'Your homepage-only snippet of text goes here';
break;
case false :
default :
// Do nothing... or do something else...
break;
}
?>
Reference: WordPress Codex: is_front_page()
Default WP installations don't have a homepage defined, it uses your index.php and checks for other templates like a home.php template as a starting point (home.php only if your theme has it.) Here's a diagram from their online docs that shows how their hierarchy works: WordPress Template Hierarchy.
By default, WordPress shows your most recent posts on the front page
of your site. But many WordPress users want to have a static front
page or splash page as the front page instead. This "static front
page" look is common for those who wish to not have a "blog" look to
their site, giving it a more CMS (content management system) feel.
If you want to know how to set a static homepage, read this article and follow the instructions: Creating a Static Frontpage. When you set a static front page, is_home() will work as expected.

Wordpress if else requirements for comments

I am not sure where to start, but I want to add in a symbol or change the css for the comments for registered users. Show a difference between non registered user comments and registered user comments.
How would I go about adding this to my wordpress website?
<div class="commentdetails">
<p class="commentauthor"><?php comment_author_link() ?></p>
<?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
<em>Your review is pending approval by gsprating staff.</em>
<?php endif; ?>
<p class="commentdate"><?php comment_date('F jS, Y') ?>
IP/Hostname: <small>(coming soon)</small>
<?php edit_comment_link('Edit Comment','',''); ?>
</p>
I want to add make it so that the entire class is a different color if the user is a registered logged in user.
Here's an all php version of Saladin's code using the standard if/else sysntax:
<?php
if ($comment->user_ID) {
echo "<div class='comment_registeredUser'>";
}
else { // The user is not logged in
echo "<div class='commentdetails'>";
}
?>
Putting all the code in php has fixed execution errors for me. Of course, that may have been because I was doing something else wrong.
As comments are displayed in the wp_list_comments() function, you will need to edit the code there. The easiest way to achieve this is to use a simple if/else statement checking whether or not the comment has a user ID associated with it. If it does, that means the comment was made by a registered user.
Of course, as well as this, you will need to create a new CSS class to give the distinction. Here is some example code:
<?php if($comment->user_ID) : ?>
<div class="comment_registeredUser"> <!-- Or whatever you decide to call the CSS class -->
<?php else : ?> <!-- The commenter isn't a registered user -->
<div class="commentdetails">
<?php endif; ?>
// Then include the rest of the code as is
The $comment->user_ID variable will return a true if the comment poster is a registered user and was logged in when they posted the comment. The code above will assign your custom CSS class to the div if it does indeed return true. If not, it will simply apply the standard class and styling.
There is also a really good tutorial for developing themes over at the Wordpress Codex. Definitely worth having a read through if you are unsure on what you need to do to create/edit your WordPress theme.
Edit: Cleaned up the answer and better explained the correct logic.

Adding next and previous buttons to static pages in wordpress?

I'm trying to add next and previous buttons to the static pages on my wordpress site.
I've been able to find some content on how to add these buttons to your blog post but haven't been able to find anything like this regarding static pages.
I'd like to add next and previous buttons to appear on the child pages within all the parent pages on my site, so you'd be able to use a link to navigate to the next/previous page located within the same parent.
Does anyone know how I could go about doing this or of any plugin that might help me out?
--
Thanks to markratledge, I've almost got it, but I just having one problem.
It seems the next and previous links are working almost how I'd like but they are coming in in alphabetical order when I want to to match the order I've got my pages ordered in.
this is what I've tried but it doesn't seem to work
$pagelist = get_pages('child_of='.$post->post_parent.'sort_column=menu_order');
Seems I just figured it out was missing &... should look like this.
$pagelist = get_pages('child_of='.$post->post_parent.'&sort_column=menu_order');
This should work, from the Wordpress Codex (Next and Previous Links « WordPress Codex).
Exclude pages with parameters in get_pages: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_pages
(Or this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/next-page/):
<?php
$pagelist = get_pages('sort_column=menu_order&sort_order=asc');
$pages = array();
foreach ($pagelist as $page) {
$pages[] += $page->ID;
}
$current = array_search($post->ID, $pages);
$prevID = $pages[$current-1];
$nextID = $pages[$current+1];
?>
<div class="navigation">
<?php if (!empty($prevID)) { ?>
<div class="alignleft">
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($prevID); ?>"
title="<?php echo get_the_title($prevID); ?>">Previous</a>
</div>
<?php }
if (!empty($nextID)) { ?>
<div class="alignright">
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($nextID); ?>"
title="<?php echo get_the_title($nextID); ?>">Next</a>
</div>
<?php } ?>
</div>
