Swank Theme: Using Genesis Responsive Slider at the top of blog posts

[maru]

Hello,

I'm using the Swank Theme and I'm trying to add the Genesis Responsive Slider at the top of my blog posts and still have the sidebar, something like this http://www.kfancydesigns.com. When I try to do this, the slider appears at the bottom of the page and the sidebar disappears.

Here's my site: http://www.fashionyfab.com

What code did you use to include the slider?

Hi, my name is Jan Hoek. Sure, they all say I have a big head, but I like to think it’s way too small for all my ideas.

Hello Jan,

I added the following code to my functions.php file:

//* Hook before post widget area before post content
add_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'sp_before_post_widget' );
function sp_before_post_widget() {
if ( is_singular( 'post' ) )
genesis_widget_area( 'before-post', array(
'before' => '<div class="before-post widget-area">',
'after' => '</div>',
) );
}

But then what do I have to do?

[JanHoek]

add_action( ‘genesis_before_entry_content’, ‘slider_before_post_widget’ );

function slider_before_post_widget() {
if ( is_singular( ‘post’ ) )
	genesis_widget_area( 'post-slider', array(
		'before' => '<div class="home-slider widget-area">',
		'after'  => '</div>',
	) );
}

//* Register widget areas

genesis_register_widget_area( array(
	'id'          => 'post-slider',
	'name'        => __( 'Home - Slider', 'child' ),
	'description' => __( 'This is the Slider section of the Home page.', child' ),
) );

And than put the slider in the widget-area

Do I need to add that code instead of the one I have? Or after?

Ok, I got it! Just in case anyone else needs it, the code is like this:

/** Add new widget before entry on homepage in Genesis theme | basicwp.com/add-new-widget-genesis-homepage/ */
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'homepage-feature',
'name' => __( 'Homepage Feature', 'custom' ),
'description' => __( 'This is Homepage feature section', 'custom' ),
) );

/** Top Homepage feature section */
add_action( 'genesis_before_entry', '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 -->';
}
}

Thank you!
