add_action within a function

[orbiterred]

Hey Everyone,

So after a few days I'm feeling like I'm starting to get the hang of things! I can see how Genesis is way easier to deal with than Thesis in the long run, that's for sure.

Anyways, my question is as follows.

Can I add an action within a function

Example:

add_action ( 'genesis_before_footer', 'sample_action' );

function sample_action() {
echo '<div class="mydiv">';
add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'another_action' );
echo '</div>';
}

function another_action() {
echo '<p>Some Stuff here</p>';
}

What I'm actually trying to do is add a few widgetized areas into that div (mydiv) but before registering everything I just tried to get the action working and having no luck.

Suggestions please!

Cheers,

Rob

Do not need to call the another action. Just remove this line add_action( ‘genesis_before_footer’, ‘another_action’ ); and put this line echo '<p>Some Stuff here</p>'; there. it should work.

Sorry, poor example.

I'm trying to call a widget inside of the function.

I've registered the widget:

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'testimonialwidget1',
'name' => __( 'Testimonial Widget 1', 'themename' ),
'description' => __( 'Use this widget area to add and remove testimonials from main page', 'themename' ),
) );

function testimonial_widget_1() {
genesis_widget_area( 'testimonialwidget1', array(
'before' => '<div class="testimonialwidget1">',
'after' => '</div>',
));
}

add_action ( ‘genesis_before_footer’, ‘sample_action’ );

function sample_action() {

echo ‘<div class=”mydiv”>’;

add_action( ‘genesis_before_footer’, ‘testimonial_widget_1’ );

echo ‘</div>’;

}

Widget area shows up in the wp-admin but is not showing on the site.

Sorry if this is a bit muddy, been up too long.

Remove this

function testimonial_widget_1() {
genesis_widget_area( ‘testimonialwidget1′, array(
‘before’ => ‘<div class=”testimonialwidget1″>’,
‘after’ => ‘</div>’,
));
}

add_action ( ‘genesis_before_footer’, ‘sample_action’ );

function sample_action() {

echo ‘<div class=”mydiv”>’;

add_action( ‘genesis_before_footer’, ‘testimonial_widget_1’ );

echo ‘</div>’;

}

And then try this

add_action ( 'genesis_before_footer', 'testimonial_widget_1');

function testimonial_widget_1() {
echo '<div class="mydiv">';
genesis_widget_area( 'testimonialwidget1′, array(
'before' => '<div class="testimonialwidget1">',
'after' => '</div>',
));
echo '</div>';

}

how about if I want to add 3 different widgetized areas? into mydiv

[Genesis Developer]

then you can do this

add_action ( 'genesis_before_footer', 'my_widgets');

function my_widgets() {
echo '<div class="mydiv">';
genesis_widget_area( 'testimonialwidget1', array(
'before' => '<div class="testimonialwidget1">',
'after' => '</div>',
));
genesis_widget_area( 'widget-2', array(
'before' => '<div class="widget-2">',
'after' => '</div>',
));
genesis_widget_area( 'widget-3', array(
'before' => '<div class="widget-3">',
'after' => '</div>',
));
echo '</div>';

}

You will register widget 2 & widget 3
