How do I add a class to the genesis attribute entry?

[te1]

Hi there,

How do I add a class to the genesis attribute entry? I'm trying to add a class to the article depending on which post/social feed it is using the get_terms taxonomy. My test post is being displayed (the first/latest one) but it doesn't have the class of Twitter, for example, in the case of this argument. I've tried adding the variable $typename as a class/attribute to the article but it's not working.

Here is the code:

You can use the genesis_attr_{context} filter. For example:

/**
 *	Add a custom ID to the .content container
 */
add_filter( 'genesis_attr_content', 'rv_attr_content' );
function rv_attr_content( $attr ) {
	$attr['id'] = 'my-id';
	return $attr;
}

This article will help you with the contexts available to use:

Having read your code, I think this is the solution

printf( '<article %s>', genesis_attr( 'entry', array('class' =>$typename )) );

ass genesis attr takes an array of any attribute, not just class

Apparently I overlooked the link to your code. My apologies. That considered, use @Badlywired's suggestion.

@Ren Ventura Yes that worked as I've managed to add a class of 'test' to the article entry, but how do I add a class using the variable $typename?

$terms = get_terms( 'sa_tax_sources' );
$typename = $terms[0]->name;

Any help is much appreciated.

OK ignore my answer that is right and try rens, that he already said doesn't apply

--------------------------

by the way ...

More of a wordpress question rather than Genesis, however I think you are using the wrong function as you are in the loop and I assume you want the taxonomy term used on that specific post, not all of them?

have a look at wp_get_post_terms()

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_post_terms

which will return an array of terms for the post and then you will need to process that, maybe with implode

Maybe something like this?

add_filter( 'genesis_attr_entry', 'custom_attributes_entry' );
function custom_attributes_entry( $attributes ) {
	$attributes['class'] .= ' ', array( 'class' => $typename);
	return $attributes;
}

@Badlywired I tried your code first but it didn't work? It didn't break anything but nothing showed up...

"I assume you want the taxonomy term used on that specific post, not all of them?" - Yes, this is what I'm trying to achieve.

I appreciate your help.

If you go the filter route

something like

add_filter( 'genesis_attr_entry', 'custom_attributes_entry' );
function custom_attributes_entry( $attributes ) {

     global $post;

   // your code  which I think is wrong as it returns all terms
  $terms = get_terms( 'sa_tax_sources' );
   $typename = $terms[0]->name;
  // end of your code

	$attributes['class'] .= ' ', array( 'class' => $typename);
	return $attributes;
}

my version would be (assuming you only want the terms for that post

add_filter( 'genesis_attr_entry', 'custom_attributes_entry' );
function custom_attributes_entry( $attributes ) {

     global $post;

   // my code - but I am guess what you really are trying to do
   $terms = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, 'sa_tax_sources' );
   $typename = implode(' ',$terms);
  // end of your code

	$attributes['class'] .= ' ', array( 'class' => $typename);
	return $attributes;
}

@Badlywired Right, I'll give that a go...

[te1]

@Badlywired I tried using your version but I get this error? PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in /wp-content/themes/genesis-sample/functions.php on line 222

[Badlywired]

Come on @tel thats your code error that I just copied from your post!!

$attributes['class'] .= ' ', array( 'class' => $typename);

spot the comma that should be a dot!

$attributes['class'] .= ' '. array( 'class' => $typename);

@Badlywired I now get this error: PHP Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /wp-content/themes/genesis-sample/functions.php on line 219

@te1 unfortunately I can't debug your code remotely, or free. I think you have enough pointers to get on with it.
I'm sure you are a competent coder judging by the code you posted initially.

@Badlywired Ok, I understand. Yes, thank you for your pointers, they're a great help.

[te1]

@Badlywired I figured it out! Thanks for your pointers towards this.

Here is the working code:

add_filter( 'genesis_attr_entry', 'custom_attributes_entry' );
function custom_attributes_entry( $attributes ) {
	global $post;

	$terms = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, 'sa_tax_sources', array('fields' => 'slugs') );
	$typename = implode(' ', $terms);

	$attributes['class'] .= ' '. $typename;
	return $attributes;
}
