How can i display permalink inside the excerpt paragraphs - wordpress

im trying to show the permalink right inside/after the excerpt
the code that im using at a designated area in my theme is this
<div id="headline">
<?php the_excerpt(); echo ''; echo '[Read more...]'; echo '';?>
</div>
the result
<p>the excerpt here</p>
<a>permalink here</a>
how can i show the permalink inside the same paragraphs that the excerpt is displayed ?
<p> the_excerpt; <a>permalink</a> </p>
thanks all.

You can place the following code in the functions.php fule of your theme
function new_excerpt_more($more) {
global $post;
return '[Read more...]';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');
This codex entry has more details on how you can modify what the excerpt spits out : http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt

I tried the above solution but it didn't solve my problem, the A tag still showed outside the P tags. I solved my problem using get_the_excerpt(), which returned just the excerpt text without the P tags.

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.

wordpress apply_filter values are not coming inline

I am using follwing code in my wordpress custom theme template
<p id="news"> <?php echo apply_filters('the_content',$myNews)?></p>;
And the desired output should be like this
<p id="news"> Herer goes my news content from $myNewsvariable </p>
But i am getting output like this
<p id="news"></p>Here goes my news content from $myNewsvariable
Please tell me how i can fix this
the_content function prints out content by default. So there is no need to do a duplicate echo before apply_filters.
Also you can apply your filter to get_the_content:
<?php echo apply_filters('get_the_content', $myNews); ?>

Wordpress, build a template for a post

I would like to know how can I define a post template and adding automatically the html layout when we are creating a post?
Do I have to use custom fields?
For example:
Post content:
Title
Description 1
Description 2
With links and social media
Html layout result:
<h1 class="work-title">Title</h1>
<div class="description">Description 1</div>
<div class="description">Description 2</div>
<div class="details">With links and social media</div>
</div>
Thanks
You could alter the output of the function the_content() by using (in functions.php) something like:
function alter_content($content) {
// Alter the $content variable here
return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'alter_content', 6);
Which will alter the content before the paragraphs are added. And if you don't want paragraphs at all use:
remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');
Check out the codex page on apply_filters() for more info on the function.

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.

Adding a static text on top of view when it is not filtered

I want to add a static text (some sort of explanation/welcome text) on the very top of a view (over the filter) in Drupal 6.x with Views "2". I want this text appear only when the view is not filtered (i.e. on initial load of the page).
My problem is that the only place I figure out to make it work partially is in the views-exposed-form--MYVIEW.tpl.php. The problem is that when I place the code in this template, I don't know if the view is filtered or not, so the text appear on every single page! I don't have access to this info in that template so the only place this is available ($rows or $empty variables for example) is in views-view--MYVIEW.tpl.php.
But there I got an another problem. The order in witch it seams the variables are output are not the same as the order in witch they appeared in the file. For example, the $exposed variable content is render always on top, then $admin_links, $header and so forth.
<?php if ($header): ?>
<div class="view-header">
<?php print $header; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if (!$rows): ?>
<h3>This static text appear AFTER $exposed !!!</h3>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ($exposed): ?>
<div class="view-filters">
<?php print $exposed; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ($attachment_before): ?>
<div class="attachment attachment-before">
<?php print $attachment_before; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
So even if I place my static content before this code, the filter form always appear on top!
I found the reason why is doing this: the exposed filter form is rendered as a part of the content-top <div></div>, but not the result (and $header, $footer, etc).
So is this by design? Do I miss something? How can I get my static text on the very top of the content-top!?
Well, after some tweaking and lecture on preprocess function in the theming system, I found a solution to my problem. I share it with you and if you find a more elegante approach; let me know!
What I did is this...
1) In the template.php file of the theme, I add two fonctions:
function YOURTHEME_preprocess_views_view__MYVIEW(&$variables) {
if ($variables['rows'] || $variables['empty']) {
$GLOBALS['dont_show_static_text'] = TRUE;
}
}
function YOURTHEME_preprocess_views_exposed_form__MYVIEW(&$variables) {
if ($GLOBALS['dont_show_static_text']) {
$variables['custom_flag1'] = TRUE;
}
}
So, if my views is showing some results ($row) or a blank result ($empty), then I set a flag to be use in the template file....
2) In my views-exposed-form--MYVIEW.tpl.php
...
<?php if (!$custom_flag1): ?>
<h2>Some static text here</h2>
<?php endif; ?>
...
And voilà! My static text is showing up only on the initial load of the view and it shows on TOP of the filter (not under!).
Hope this help someone else!
