How to override Fusion Element Container in Avada child theme Functions? - php

Question

Hi I am trying to change the way Fusion Builder container works. I want to add more custom fields, change the display html and the default variables.
I need to override the /plugin/fusion-builder/shorcode/fusion-container.php
I am using a child theme of avada. What is the correct way to override it?

Just right after I posted the question, I got the answer in GitHub:

The solution is to add to the functions.php in your child template the following code:
/**
* Filter already set maps, add in a new option to container.
*/
function filter_available_element( $fusion_builder_elements ) {
if ( isset( $fusion_builder_elements['fusion_builder_container'] ) ) {
$fusion_builder_elements['fusion_builder_container']['params'][] = array(
'type' => 'radio_button_set',
'heading' => esc_attr__( 'Container Design Mode', 'fusion-builder' ),
'description' => esc_attr__( 'Controls whether the container should be dark or light.', 'fusion-builder' ),
'param_name' => 'container_mode',
'value' => array(
'light' => esc_attr__( 'Light', 'fusion-builder' ),
'dark' => esc_attr__( 'Dark', 'fusion-builder' ),
),
'default' => 'light',
'group' => esc_attr__( 'Design', 'fusion-builder' ),
);
}
return $fusion_builder_elements;
}
add_filter( 'fusion_builder_all_elements', 'filter_available_element' );
/**
* Filter the parameters, check for container_mode and if set add to class parameter.
*/
function filter_container_parameters( $out, $pairs, $atts, $shortcode ) {
// If set, use it, otherwise set to default.
$out['container_mode'] = isset( $atts['container_mode'] ) ? $atts['container_mode'] : 'light';
// Set to class parameter which container already has and uses.
if ( ! isset( $out['class'] ) || '' === $out['class'] ) {
$out['class'] = 'my-class-' . $out['container_mode'];
} else {
$out['class'] .= ' my-class-' . $out['container_mode'];
}
return $out;
}
add_filter( 'shortcode_atts_fusion_builder_container', 'filter_container_parameters', 10, 4 );
