Featured (widget) Homepage Area Problems

[venethia]

Hi,

I'd like to insert a featured homepage area on my blog (eleven40 pro child theme) just after header and above the first post.

I decided to insert two widget into this featured area : 50% width each one.

This is the code on my home.php

<?php

if ( is_active_sidebar( 'featured-left' ) ) {
    echo '<div class="featured"><div class="featured-left">'; //Add the left style div
    dynamic_sidebar( 'featured-left' ); //Add the featured left widget
    echo '</div><div class="featured-right">'; //Add the right style div
    dynamic_sidebar( 'featured-right' ); //Add the featured right widget
    echo ''; // close out the divs and BOOM!
}

//* Run the Genesis loop
genesis();

This is the code I added to style.css :

/* Featured Area Homepage
------------------------------------------------------------ */
 
.featured {
    margin: 0 auto;
    height: 430px;
    padding: 0 0 25px;
    width: 910px;
}
 
/* Add this next part in */
.featured-left {
    float:left;
    width:670px;
}
 
.featured-right {
    float:right;
    width: 220px;
}

This is the code I added to function.php :

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'featured-left',
	'name'        => __( 'Featured Left', 'eleven40' ),
	'description' => __( 'This is the Home Page Featured widget area left.', 'eleven40' ),
) );

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'featured-right',
	'name'        => __( 'Featured Right', 'eleven40' ),
	'description' => __( 'This is the Home Page Featured widget area right.', 'eleven40' ),
) );

All is ok about function.php and home.php but I think the code into style.css is wrong because I got a terrible result.

Is it possible to have a full width featured area (where the two widget are) with that plugin?

[Genesis Developer]

Yes. You can do anything. I used "one-half" class for two columns widget area. By default it is making full width widget area

I have 3 widget :

1) Center widget (full width include sidebar size)
2) Left widget (half width include sidebar size). This is below the center widget, on the left.
3) Left widget (half width include sidebar size). This is below the center widget, on the right.

Which hooks should I use?

The layout I'd like is similar to http://www.hotlead.it

Can you share the wp-admin access via this form? Please share all the problem via this form also. Because you purchased my plugin. This is not right place for third party support.
