Can I create a Home Widget that sits underneath the logo on home page only?

[zmel]

I have a customized, widgeted front page at this dev site: http://dev3.dizzysushi.com/

I'd like to have the fish image, (currently the first text box with html in home bottom #3, executive theme), continue to be a widget, but be located up, and behind the current logo. It can only show on the home page, so the right-header widget area won't work, (and it sits in front of logo).

I tried making a negative top margin, in the CSS without luck. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Give this to your fish widget (in css)

    position: absolute;
    top: 12px;
    z-index: 9999;

and this in

#title-area {

    position: absolute;
    z-index: 99999;

}

That may solve one part of your problem.

Thank you, Vajrasar! That worked great. I added some margin-left and it put it just where I want.

You made my day :0)

Am really glad it worked. Now, for the first part of your problem as you said you have made a custom widgetized template and want to show that fish widget only on front page then you can wrap the code producing that fish widget inside is_front_page() if-else loop.

like -

if (is_front_page()) {
//do widget code
}

I think this may help you.

Else if you are using Appereance -> widget to place code using a text widget then you can

1) enable php in widgets by putting this code in functions.php

add_filter('widget_text','execute_php',100);
function execute_php($html){
if(strpos($html,"<"."?php")!==false){ ob_start(); eval("?".">".$html);
$html=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
}
return $html;
}

and then place the code you pasted/wrote in the text widget inside if-else loop as -

if (is_front_page()) {
//put fish code/image
}

I hope it helps.

With the theme I am using, it looks like I can keep the html for the fish widget in the appearances/widget home box without having to change the functions.php; it only shows on home page. But I will keep your info for any future use. Thanks!
