Include after_entry widget area in the site-container structural area

[EZEarache]

Hi,

I am trying to get two custom widget areas to wrap in the site-container so they align next to each other.

I just discovered the genesis_structural_wrap function.

I'm using the following code on my site, but it wraps them in separate containers. How do I get them in the same container?

//* Add support for structural wraps so that widget areas can be placed into the home page 
add_theme_support( 'genesis-structural-wraps', array(
	'header',
	'nav',
	'subnav',
	'site-inner',
	'footer-widgets',
	'footer',
	'events-widget',
	'contact-widget'
) );

//* Contact Widget
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'contact-widget',
'name' => __( 'Contact Widget', 'genesis' ),
'description' => __( 'Contains Contact Information under the Content Area' ),
) );

add_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'add_genesis_widget_area' );
function add_genesis_widget_area() {
if ( is_page('006') && is_active_sidebar('contact-widget') ) {
genesis_structural_wrap( 'contact-widget' );//Puts the Event's Widget in the container
genesis_widget_area( 'contact-widget', array(
'before' => '<div id="contact-widget">',
'after' => '</div>',
) );
genesis_structural_wrap( 'contact-widget', 'close' );
}
}

//* Events Widget
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'events-widget',
'name' => __( 'Events Widget for Home Page', 'genesis' ),
'description' => __( 'Contains Events Widget under the Content Area' ),
) );

add_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'add_genesis_events_widget' );
function add_genesis_events_widget() {
if ( is_page('006') && is_active_sidebar('events-widget') ) {
genesis_structural_wrap( 'events-widget' );//Puts the Event's Widget in the container
genesis_widget_area( 'events-widget', array(
'before' => '<div id="events-widget">',
'after' => '</div><div class="clear-widget"></div>',//* Ends Home Widget Container
) );
genesis_structural_wrap( 'events-widget', 'close' );
}
}

O.K. So this is resolved.

The proper way to do this is not so much with a Genesis Structural Wrap as I originally thought. The correct way to do this is with an echo function which then wraps the two widget areas in your functions.php file like so:

//* Contact Widget
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id' => 'contact-widget',
	'name' => __( 'Contact Widget', 'genesis' ),
	'description' => __( 'Contains Contact Information under the Content Area' ),
) );

//* Events Widget
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id' => 'events-widget',
	'name' => __( 'Events Widget for Home Page', 'genesis' ),
	'description' => __( 'Contains Events Widget under the Content Area' ),
) );

add_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'add_genesis_widget_area' );
function add_genesis_widget_area() {
	if ( is_page('006') && is_active_sidebar('contact-widget') ) {
		
		echo '<div class="two-widget-container">';  //This Opens the widget-container
		genesis_widget_area( 'contact-widget', array(
			'before' => '<div class="contact-widget-wrapper one-half first">',
			'after' => '</div>',
		) );

		genesis_widget_area( 'events-widget', array(
			'before' => '<div class="events-widget-wrapper one-half">',
			'after' => '</div>',// Ends Home Widget Container
		) );
		
		echo '</div>'; //Closes the widget-container
		
	}
}

I would like to thank Sure Fire Web for showing me the light here. Now I understand echo Whoop Whoop!
