add home-slider and home-welcome to all pages in agency

[KarenLeighBurton]

I have a client who wants the home-welcome area and the home-slider to appear on all pages/posts within the agency theme. I am not strong with php and calls/hooks, so I need someone to dumb it down. What needs to be included in the page/post template and what needs to go in the functions to make this happen?

I thought adding this to a page.php file would do the trick...

function agency_home_genesis_meta() {

	if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-welcome' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-slider' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-left' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-middle' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-right' ) ) {

		remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'agency_home_welcome_helper' );
		add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'agency_home_loop_helper' );

		function add_body_class( $classes ) {
   			$classes[] = 'agency';
  			return $classes;
		}

	}
}

function agency_home_welcome_helper() {

	if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-welcome' ) ) {
		echo '<div id="home-welcome">';
		dynamic_sidebar( 'home-welcome' );
		echo '</div><!-- end #home-welcome -->';
	}

	if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-slider' ) ) {
		echo '<div id="home-slider">';
		dynamic_sidebar( 'home-slider' );
		echo '</div><!-- end #home-slider -->';
	}

}

The reason they only display on home is because they are in the home.php file.

You will need to take the code and use it in a custom function in your child themes functions.php file

You will also need to use a conditional tag so it displays site wide, but not on your home page.

Use the same classes as generated in your home.php file.

Another option is to remove the code which generates these 2 widgets from your home.php file and add it to your functions.php file using the same classes so you don't need to add CSS. You can then add hooks to the code and won't need a conditional tag as its site wide.

I've done this before many times and written several posts on how to do it different ways.
