Placing content above the code in .php

[ᴅᴀᴠɪᴅ]

Hi, i am wanting to place some simple html, just text and an image at the top of my portfolio page in the website created with the Epik Theme. As the portfolio page is created with page_portfolio.php I am not sure where I can add content to make it appear below the title but above the actual portfolio of images that it produces..

I have tried to do research on how to add html to php and learned that you must echo etc but wherever I put this the text always appears above the header. I am obviously missing something but I am not sure how to find out what. Sorry, i usually try my hardest to find the answer myself as that is how I learn quicker than asking but on this one I am stumped.

Sorry i have realised I am asking the wrong question. I am wanting to know how to change the page_portfolio.php so it shows the content of the page before actually creating the portfolio. The only thing it is taking from the actual page that I create in wordpress is the title. Then it goes off and creates a portfolio of images.

I am guessing it would be something to do with 'entry-content'

Hello,

Since I don't have the Epik theme, I am unable to see the source for the page_portfololio.php file, but I will take a stab at it.

Within the page_portfolio.php page, try pasting this code before the genesis() function;

/* functions.php */
add_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'my_custom_html' );
/**
 * Callback for Genesis 'genesis_before_post_content' action.
 * 
 * Print custom html before the post content.
 * 
 * @package Genesis
 * @category Post content
 * @author Ryan Meier http://www.rfmeier.net
 * 
 */
function my_custom_html(){
	
	// print your html here
	echo '<p>This is a test.</p>';
	
}

If you want your html within the .entry-content element, try using the following instead;

/* functions.php */
add_action( 'genesis_post_content', 'my_custom_html', 9 );

Let me know how this turns out. It may be a matter of finding the correct action to use to place your code in the correct spot.

Hi, thanks for your help. Unfortunately it isn't putting the text where i wanted it though. It is putting it below the title of each of the images contained in the portfolio, not below the title in the actual page itself.

In the page_portfolio.php there is

// Adds Page Title and Content
add_action( 'genesis_before_content', 'genesis_do_post_title' );
add_action( 'genesis_before_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );

At the top, i would have thought this should pull up the title and the content of the page, and then pull the information from the other posts which make up the portfolio page. I have written content in the page but it never displays. I would ask Wes who designed Epik theme but every time I go to his website it never loads. I will keep looking anyway. Thanks for replying so quick btw.

Gah-- I am sorry. I still need my coffee.

Let me look at the source again and I will post another update.

Is there a chance you can paste the page_portfolio.php code? That would alleviate some of the guess work on my side.

Ooookay. The template file helped.

Around line ~5 within your page_portfolio.php template, change swap this code;

// Adds Page Title
add_action( 'genesis_before_content', 'genesis_do_post_title' );

// Adds custom content after the title.
add_action( 'genesis_before_content', 'my_custom_content' );
/**
 * Callback for Genesis 'genesis_before_content' action.
 * 
 * Display your custom content after the title on the portfolio page template.
 */
function my_custom_content(){
	
	echo '<p>This is my custom content</p>';
	
}

// Add page content after custom content.
add_action( 'genesis_before_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );

This inserts the custom code after the page title, but before the page content. If you still need help setting this up, let me know.

Perfect. Thanks a lot. Now i can just copy the content into the code.

I wonder why the page content was never appearing? I thought that is what 'genesis_do_post_content' does.

Anyway problem solved either way. thanks again!

You're welcome. I am glad I could help.

The Genesis 'genesis_do_post_content' is for the post scope (your portfolio pages). So it was applying that code before to each one. That was my mistake.

Good luck.

Hi, I'm wondering if there is away to add an introduction at the top of my portfolio page without getting into the php. I have my page set up via the portfolio widget in the Lifestyle theme. It sees like the only access I have is to change the page heading which is all in bold. Can I just possible add a paragraph under it with css?

http://www.blogforart.com/my-clips/

Thanks, Nancy

 

[rfmeier]

Nancy,

I apologize if I am not understanding, as I don't have access to this theme-- but this page is created with a widget? Shouldn't this be a static page?

I'm probably not being very clear but here's a screen shot of the widget. The page is fine but I'd just like to have a little description unter the title or h1 or what ever appears at the top.

Now I don't know how to add the screen shot.

 

[pencil]

Sorry here I am again,

Here's the php file

<?php
/*
Template Name: Portfolio
*/

/** Force the full width layout layout on the Portfolio page */
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', 'lifestyle_portfolio_layout' );
function lifestyle_portfolio_layout( $opt ) {
return 'full-width-content';
}

/** Remove the standard loop */
remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );

/** Add the Portfolio widget area */
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'lifestyle_portfolio_widget' );
function lifestyle_portfolio_widget() {
dynamic_sidebar( 'portfolio' );
}
genesis();

My question is if there is a way to add a paragraph to this page?

Thanks again, Nancy

Nancy,

I think I have an idea that may work. Let me fool with the code quick and I will paste the results.

Nancy,

Before I go any further, Are you able to add a text widget above the portfolio widget?

---

Ryan Meier – Twitter

[pencil]

YES!!!!

You just made my day - Thank you so much. Nancy

[pencil]

Well, it worked to add the text widget above the portfolio widget but for some crazy reason that threw off a lot of the css coding fro the rest of the site. Makes no sense to me.

[pencil]

OK Last Call, I just put the default css back in and it's fine now. I'm really happy to know about adding the extra text widget at the top of the portfolio widget. Thank yo gain for solving this for me. Nancy

[rfmeier]

Nancy,

I am glad it worked out. Good luck.
