Add Responsive Slider to Home Page

[mbeck]

I'd like to be able to add the Genesis Responsive Slider to my Home Page below the three Homepage widgets. Is there an easy way to do that?

Add a new widget in the front-page.php file or hook it in from your functions file using the genesis_before_content hook and is_front_page() conditional tag.

Basically, change this line in the code:

add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'your_widget' );

To this:

add_action( 'genesis_before_content', 'your_widget' );

Thanks, Brad,
I took a look at your tutorial and wrote some code, but I must have something wrong.
Would you mind taking a look at it for me?
Thanks!

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'bottom_center',
'name' => __( 'Bottom Center', 'streamline' ),
'description' => __( 'This is the content after Home Widgets', 'streamline' ),
) );
add_action( 'genesis_before_content', 'bottom_center' );
function your_widget() {
if ( is_front_page() && is_active_sidebar('bottom_center') ) {
genesis_widget_area( 'bottom_center', array(
'before' => '<div class="bottom_center widget-area">',
'after' => '</div>',
) );

Also, does it go in the function.php file or the front-page.php file?

FYI, I'm using the Streamline Pro Theme and not the older Streamline Theme.

When you paste code into a web page incorrectly it breaks.

So i can't test that code.

OK, let me ask this instead.
Do you know if the Genesis Responsive Slider can be inserted into a content area with a shortcode?

Brad, I made another attempt to solve this with your suggestion and it worked!
Thanks so much for your help.

[Brad Dalton]

No. Only using a widget.
