Enterprise Theme – Move New Homepage Feature Widget

[lianam]

Hello,

I'm working on a site using the Enterprise Pro theme. I just added a "Homepage Feature" widget where I wanted to add text about the site. Currently, I have it showing up under the Header/logo of the site. I would prefer that it goes under another widget ("Home-Top"). Can anyone tell me how to adjust the coding to make this happen?

Here's the code I added to the functions.php :

/** Top Homepage feature section */
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'news_homepage_feature', 9 );
function news_homepage_feature() {
if ( is_home() && is_active_sidebar( 'homepage-feature' ) ) {
echo '<div class="homepage-feature">';
dynamic_sidebar( 'homepage-feature' );
echo '</div><!-- end .homepage-feature -->';
}

and this was added to the .css file :

.homepage-feature {
background:#ddd;
width:960px;
margin:0 auto;

THANK YOU!

For that you would need to define widget in front-page.php file between home-top and home-middle code.

It is difficult to make such change without access to actual theme files. However, following is the logic you can try:

***backup before making changes***

1. Define widget in functions.php file. Home - Featured

Replace this code..

//* Register widget areas
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'home-top',
	'name'        => __( 'Home - Top', 'enterprise' ),
	'description' => __( 'This is the top section of the homepage.', 'enterprise' ),
) );
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'home-bottom',
	'name'        => __( 'Home - Bottom', 'enterprise' ),
	'description' => __( 'This is the bottom section of the homepage.', 'enterprise' ),
) );
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'after-entry',
	'name'        => __( 'After Entry', 'enterprise' ),
	'description' => __( 'This is the after entry widget area.', 'enterprise' ),
) );

with...

//* Register widget areas
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'home-top',
	'name'        => __( 'Home - Top', 'enterprise' ),
	'description' => __( 'This is the top section of the homepage.', 'enterprise' ),
) );
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'home-featured',
	'name'        => __( 'Home - Featured', 'enterprise' ),
	'description' => __( 'This is the featured section of the homepage.', 'enterprise' ),
) );
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'home-bottom',
	'name'        => __( 'Home - Bottom', 'enterprise' ),
	'description' => __( 'This is the bottom section of the homepage.', 'enterprise' ),
) );
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'after-entry',
	'name'        => __( 'After Entry', 'enterprise' ),
	'description' => __( 'This is the after entry widget area.', 'enterprise' ),
) );

2. Make this change in front-page.php file.

Replace this code...

function enterprise_body_class( $classes ) {

		$classes[] = 'enterprise-pro-home';
		return $classes;
		
}

function enterprise_home_top_widgets() {

	genesis_widget_area( 'home-top', array(
		'before' => '<div class="home-top widget-area"><div class="wrap">',
		'after'  => '</div></div>',
	) );
	
}

function enterprise_home_bottom_widgets() {
	
	genesis_widget_area( 'home-bottom', array(
		'before' => '<div class="home-bottom widget-area">',
		'after'  => '</div>',
	) );

}

genesis();

with....

function enterprise_body_class( $classes ) {

		$classes[] = 'enterprise-pro-home';
		return $classes;
		
}

function enterprise_home_top_widgets() {

	genesis_widget_area( 'home-top', array(
		'before' => '<div class="home-top widget-area"><div class="wrap">',
		'after'  => '</div></div>',
	) );
	
}

function enterprise_home_featured_widgets() {

	genesis_widget_area( 'home-featured', array(
		'before' => '<div class="home-featured widget-area"><div class="wrap">',
		'after'  => '</div></div>',
	) );
	
}

function enterprise_home_bottom_widgets() {
	
	genesis_widget_area( 'home-bottom', array(
		'before' => '<div class="home-bottom widget-area">',
		'after'  => '</div>',
	) );

}

genesis();
