Use add_action conditionally for custom function

[SelenaD]

I have a function that calls some custom fields. I want to add that function in a different place based on whether it's the home page, interior page, or blog page. So here's what I want to accomplish:

function rm_some_function() {
   the_field('some_field');
}

function rm_position_some_function() {
if(is_front_page()) {
  add_action('genesis_before_header', 'rm_some_function', 15);
}
if(is_home_page()) {
 add_action('genesis_after_header','rm_some_function', 15);
} }

add_action ('genesis_before_loop', 'rm_position_some_function');

But it doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

you have a typo.
It´s is_home , not is_home_page.

Thanks Christoph - but that isn't my issue. That's just my tired brain giving sample code in the forum. 🙁

Here's real code:

function rm_bio_box() { ?>
	<div class="rm-bio-box"><div class="wrap">
    	<div class="rm-bio-image">
    		<?php the_field('bio_image', 'option'); ?>
		</div>
        
        <div class="rm-bio-text-area">
          <div class="rm-bio-name">
              <?php the_field('bio_name', 'option'); ?>
          </div>
          <div class="rm-bio-title">
              <?php the_field('bio_title', 'option'); ?>
          </div>
          <div class="rm-bio-text">
              <?php the_field('bio_text', 'option'); ?>
          </div>
        </div>
	</div></div>
<?php }

function rm_bio_box_position() {
	if(is_front_page()) {
	add_action ('genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'rm_bio_box', 15);
	}
}
add_action('genesis_before_loop', 'rm_bio_box_position');

Since this is an issue with ACF and not a Studio Press theme, you may be better off asking your question in the ACF forum. In any case, you may be using the_field incorrectly. http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/the_field/

Thanks Victor, but the ACF portion works just fine. The issue is ONLY with using the add_action as a conditional. It just so happens that I'm using ACF in this particular case.

Hi,

genesis_before_loop "fires" after genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap
There is nothing "left" that it could add the action to.

Try genesis_after_header instead of genesis_before_loop

Christoph, you're a saint. Knowing when things fire is a definite gap in my knowledge. It took me awhile to come back to this, but I am very grateful!
