Adding a Full Width Slider to Magazine Theme

[JenniB]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a full width slider to the magazine theme's homepage and I keep bumping into the primary sidebar. I've already registered the widget, added it on the homepage, installed and configured Genesis Responsive Slider, stuck it in the home-slider widget I created. I have two issues:

1. Need to go full width (960px) - no margins

2. Need to push the primary sidebar down.

Homepage code:

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

Thanks for your help!

P.S. How do I post code without butchering it here in the forums?

You need to put it into an action hooked somewhere before the content-sidebar-wrap, e.g.

add_action('genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'slider_box');
function slider_box() {
if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-slider' )) {
echo '<div>';
dynamic_sidebar( 'home-slider' );
echo '</div><!-- end .home-slider -->';
}
}

You could also use the genesis_before_header hook.
