add_action('genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap ', 'function'); outputting code.

[aschoenbrun]

Hi,

I am using a modified version of the Sample Genesis starter child theme by Sridhar Katakam (https://github.com/srikat/genesis-sample). I am trying to add multiple custom divs to wrap around the site content. This is so I can use the technique found here (http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/equal-height-columns-cross-browser-css-no-hacks).

I've placed the following code in a "Must Use" plugin:

function framework_content_adjust() {

  // 1 - Equal Height Element wrapper tops
  add_action('genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap
', 'equal_height_content_start');
  function equal_height_content_start() { ?>

    <div id="ContentWrapper">

      <div id="SidebarBorder">

        <div id="ContentReplace">

  <?php }

  // 2 - Equal Height Element wrapper bottoms
  add_action('genesis_after_content_sidebar_wrap', 'equal_height_content_end');
  function equal_height_content_end() { ?>

        </div>

      </div>

    </div>

  <?php }

}
add_action('after_setup_theme', 'framework_content_adjust', 2, 50);

I know the code is executing to some degree, since while testing I moved all code to the first plugin and a conflict was noted.

What am I doing wrong that is stopping this code from outputting the HTML markup?

Thank you so much.

Hi,

not sure why you'd want to use that method (or if that is the right hook), but just echo your markup.

echo '<div id="ContentWrapper"><div id="SidebarBorder"><div id="ContentReplace">';

No need to switch in and out of php.

Thanks for answering, Christoph,

I switch in and out since it's easier for me to code HTML without getting distracted by php. I made the changes anyway to see if that would work:

function framework_content_adjust() {

  // 1 - Equal Height Element wrapper tops
  add_action('genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap
', 'equal_height_content_start');
  function equal_height_content_start() {

    echo '<div id="ContentWrapper"><div id="SidebarBorder"><div id="ContentReplace">';

  }

  // 2 - Equal Height Element wrapper bottoms
  add_action('genesis_after_content_sidebar_wrap', 'equal_height_content_end');
  function equal_height_content_end() {

    echo '</div></div></div>';

  }

}
add_action('after_setup_theme', 'framework_content_adjust', 2, 50);

Still, the changes are not being reflected.

Try using

'genesis_after_header'

instead of

'after_setup_theme'

Nothing.

I must say I've been having a lot of trouble hooking and unhooking functions, some of which are essentially simple html. The only success I've had was the first MU plugin I did to replace the site title with the logo.

  function framework_header_adjust() {

// 1, 2, 3 - Replace name and description with logo
  remove_action( 'genesis_site_title', 'genesis_seo_site_title' );
  remove_action( 'genesis_site_description', 'genesis_seo_site_description' );
  add_action('genesis_site_title', 'ttg_logo');
  function ttg_logo() { ?>

    <div id="Logo">

      <?php
        $attachment_id = get_field('Logo', 'options');
        $size = "Logo";
        $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment_id, $size );
        // url = $image[0];
        // width = $image[1];
        // height = $image[2];
      ?>

      <a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>">

        <img src="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" />

      </a>

    </div>

  <?php }

}
add_action('after_setup_theme','framework_header_adjust', 1, 50);

Any subsequent hooking or unhooking has not worked, whether added as an MU plugin or applied straight to the child theme's functions.php. Please note I have been referencing the hooks and actions by searching through the Genesis parent theme folder ans well as by using the Genesis Visual Hook Guide plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-visual-hook-guide/)

I want to add custom content to this site. I must be going about it wrong, I just dont know how

[aschoenbrun]

Did a test in that MU plugin for the divs:

add_action('genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'ttg_test');
  function ttg_test() {
    echo '<p>Hello</p>';
  }

It worked. So now I'm even more confused

[aschoenbrun]

  // 1 - Equal Height Element wrapper tops
  add_action('genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap
', 'equal_height_content_start');
  function equal_height_content_start() {
    echo '<p>Hello</p>';
  }

  // 2 - Equal Height Element wrapper bottoms
  add_action('genesis_after_content_sidebar_wrap', 'equal_height_content_end');
  function equal_height_content_end() {
    echo '<p>Hello</p>';
  }

Did not work. Must be something wrong with those specifically

[aschoenbrun]

Works now. I have no idea what did it. I copied and pasted one action to the other, then modified to match original. I added `echo '<p>Hello</p>' to each, then removed. After all said & done, it works. The only thing I can think of is that when I copied the hook text, somehow hidden characters came along. I have no idea why they would though. I use Atom, which, at its core, is a text editor (I believe.). Any insight woudl be appreciated...
Thanks so much Christoph`

[Christoph]

Wonderful!
I´m happy it started to work. 🙂

I can't really tell you what was going on.
Maybe a line-break, maybe something else.
Your code (when not on the after_setup_theme hook) worked for me in functions.php and a mu plugin.

I was/am using Atom (with about 20+ packages /extensions), too.
