Oh my Gosh, not another kleo_somewhere question

[mitchcan]

I know what you’re thinking… “are you freakin’ kidding me? another question on page parts?”

In my defense, if there was a single resource for all of the locations I could hook in to, I promise I wouldn’t ask so much. I really like Kleo, but in my last theme there was an entire plugin that listed every single hook opportunity, where it was and how to use it… great stuff that made it easy (and made for less questions). 🙂

Anyhoo, I think I’m confused. (I know, nothing new, right?) 🙂

I thought ‘kleo_before_content’ was an area on TOP of the content and sidebar(s). But when I have

COPY CODE

add_action('kleo_before_content','kleo_before_content_sidebar');
function kleo_before_content_sidebar() {
	echo '<div id="before-content-sidebar">', do_shortcode('[widgets_on_pages id="wop-2"]'), '</div>'; 
}

it generates a 40px x 4430px block down the left side of the page. It doesn’t matter if it is a sidebar page or a fullwidth page, it’s there either way.

Did I mistakenly understand where this area is? or did I code the name in wrong? or is that just the way it is?

In this case, I was just looking for the ability to put a custom ‘sidebar’ in the area that ran across the TOP of BOTH the main content and the (traditional) sidebar(s). Like ‘kleo_before_main_content’ goes just above the content.

Does such a thing exist? 🙂

Thanks.

[mitchcan]

hey, I think I found it in going through old code.

kleo_before_main right?

sheeesh all the names got me a little confuddled. Please LMK if I am missing any others, but I’ll work with what I gots until then. 🙂

Thanks.

[mitchcan]

Here’s all I could find. I went through page-parts and other places looking for others. Am I missing any?

kleo_before_main — above content incl SB, below header/menu (above breadcrumb if apply)

kleo_before_content — adds sidebar-like column to the left of main-content (hmm?)

kleo_before_main_content — above the main content only, not SB (incl above page title if apply)

kleo_after_main_content — below the main content only, not SB

kleo_after_content — adds sidebar-like column to the right of main-content (hmm?)

kleo_after_main — below content incl SB, above footer

I’m curious on the kleo_before_content and kleo_after_content … is this the intended functionality for those?

I now have a nice, neat list. 🙂 Please LMK if there are others.

Thanks.

Hi there, yes that is the list with actions and we will definitely add a nice list to the documentation. To display something before the content and the sidebar you should use “kleo_before_content action” since it adds content right before the content and sidebar

Let me know if I understood your question right or you need any extra details.
Thanks

I added it to the docs with what I got now and will continue to update it: https://archived.seventhqueen.com/documentation/kleo#hooks

OK, thanks. A nice reference point in the docs will be helpful.

A question on kleo_before_content

For me, using this seems to add a vertical, almost sidebar-like section on a post/page, just before (beside) the main_content and sidebar areas. I was expecting this area to be a *horizontal* area, above both the main and the sidebar(s), but BELOW the breadcrumb (being that _before_main was already there ABOVE the breadcrumb).

Can _kleo_before_content work like I was expecting? Or is this simply not the case?

Thanks.

[Abe]

yes that is exactly what kleo_before_content hook does, it allows you to add something before main and sidebar content and it should be horizontal all the way.

welp, then I have broken something. 🙂

I get a *vertical* placement for both kleo_before_content and kleo_after_content. If I add a widget in those areas, it acts likes another vertical sidebar, breaking the page into halves or thirds, vertically.

What should I look at that might be causing this?

Thanks.

Give a link to your page to take a quick look

Well, I’ve commented out that code in functions because it was making the pages wonky.

I’ll go back in and activate it and then put some content in those areas on a single page, and then add a link here.

very strange.. Please update the file located in page-parts/general-before-wrap.php with the one attached. This should fix your issue and this change will be included in the next update too.

In addition to the code above, now you will add the content in a container like:

COPY CODE

	echo '<div class="container" id="side-before-content-sidebar">', do_shortcode('[widgets_on_pages id="wop-3"]'), '</div>';  //you could put a shortcode here if you want, too.

Yeah, it was really weird. Thanks for looking at it, I’ll update here once I have applied the fix.

But hey, my apologies in advance for asking a dumb question, but I don’t see an attached file anywhere. Where would I see the file? Am I looking in the wrong spots?

Thanks.

[Abe]

Just reattached it. Don’t know what happened 🙂

OK, so that worked fine. Thanks.

However, wouldn’t we need to do the same thing with the kleo_after_main_content also? I ask because while the attached resolved the before issue, even though I added a container to the after also, it is still a display problem.

I would mess with general-after-wrap like what was done with general-before-wrap, but I’m not sure exactly what to do, so any help there would be great.

Thanks.

P.S. Do I get some kind of award for having your post number 10,000? 🙂

[mitchcan]

I see you already pushed 3.0.6 with the before-wrap change, cool. I still need to fix the after-wrap. Thought I’d try this… so in general-after-wrap, would I put

COPY CODE

<section class="container-wrap main-color">
	<div id="main-container" class="<?php echo $container; ?>">
		<?php if($container == 'container') { ?><div class="row"> <?php } ?>

			<div <?php echo $section_id;?>class="template-page <?php echo $main_tpl_classes; ?>">
				<div class="wrap-content">

on Line 20 after </div><!--end main-page-template-->

or would there be anything else I’d need to do?

I’m working without an net on a live site (tsk tsk) 🙂 so I just don’t want to screw it up.

Thanks.

[Abe]

Sorry for the late reply. If you want to put something after the content and sidebar you can use kleo_after_main

Hey, just to update this and close it out. It looks like I don’t have any more issues with this. It was a good exercise though, after digging through all the code, I found a total of 10 places that it looks like I can hook into. Cool. 🙂

Thanks.
