Altitude Pro front-page template copy

[iff]

Hi everyone,

I would like to know whats the most proper way to "copy" the front-page from altitude pro theme
and use it also for other pages in this theme? Are there any reasons not to do this? I know a lot abut css and html but not php/genesis.

I almost did it but was not able to put some new background images in there.

I did it like this (dont know if its correct with id's etc.):

1) Copy the front page in a new php file and gave a new name (new_template).
2) changed the number of the widgets 1 to 8, 2 to 9 on the new_template and also added the genesis_register_sidebar with the front-page 8-14 in functions.php (works good I think..!?)
3) Tried to add somehow the backgrounds 9,11,13,15 images in output.php (altitude_images', array( '1', '3', '5', '7', '9', '11', '13', '15' )..

Unfortunately the background images will not show up (but the upload masks are there, were you can upload the background pictures.)

It would be really nice, if someone has an idea how he/she would do this. As I said, I have no idea about php and genesis.

Thank you very much for every help or some code snippets of a possible template!

Best Regards
Chris

I would also love to be able to do this. Once you've done it one time, then you'd be able to create as many pages as you want, I would think.

If either of you find a way to do it, please share. I will do the same 🙂

Cheers,

Ok so my work around is to just call it out in CSS. I set it up a little different that @iff but the overall principles are the same. I know not as easy as using the customizer but because I gave the new widget areas unique classes it's pretty simple CSS.

For example with the front-page.php template, the widgets looked for .front-page-1, .front-page-2, .front-page-3, etc. So my new template was looking for .name-page-1, .name-page-2, .name-page-3, etc. I went into the style file did a find/search for "front" copied that CSS and pasted below renaming "front" with name. -That part was kinda tedious but all the new templates now matched the same style as the front-page template.

Then I added separate CSS for each new widget:

.name-page-1 {
background-image: url("#");
}

Probably not a solution for building out multiple pages but if you need just one more "homepage" it'll do.
