I am trying to make a plugin that will display custom page when a parameter is present in the URL. For example, let's say that the URL of a post is localhost/wp/2018/03/22/postname/, it displays post normally as expected. What I want to achieve, is when I specify URL as localhost/wp/2018/03/22/postname/?param=1, I want to display page that I will generate with the plugin. I made a function that works when the parameter is present and it echoes some example content, however, it merges with what WordPress normally displays. So when I put the parameter into URL I get a regular page with post and my content somewhere in the middle. I want to display only the page that i generate from scratch, from <html> to </html> with my plugin. How can I do that?
There is a filter in WordPress called template_include this filter is executed before any output is displayed on the WordPress generated page.
You can override the current template via this filter as soon as you find the parameter and value in the URL. E.g. below is a filter I was using in a project to override archive & single template for a certain CPT:
function em_templates($template) {
if(get_query_var('post_type') == 'xyz' ) {
return FMM__DIR__ . '/templates/archive-xyz.php';
}
return $template;
}
add_filter('template_include', 'em_templates', 1, 1);
You can adopt this logic for parameter and use this WordPress filter to take over the template process and display yours own.

I am trying to create a shortcode from a page that currently resides in the back end. The page has several acf fields as part of a form that creates a request. I would now like to have the same page on the front end. I have tried following the syntax of creating a shortcode from a function after reading about shortocdes, its api and doc and several different tuts online.
add_shortcode('create_requests', array($this, 'load_custom_wp_admin_style'));
^ The attempt above didn't work and I don't get any output when I include the shortcode in a new page.
You can notice that the function I am trying to use 'load_custom_wp_admin_style' returns a null value and uses hooks.
This is the file that contains the function.
Try to include file like below code. I checked your file according to me you need use the plugin url it seems like you are developing the plugin
wp_register_style('your_namespace', plugins_url('style.css',__FILE__ ));
wp_enqueue_style('your_namespace');
wp_register_script( 'your_namespace', plugins_url('your_script.js',__FILE__ ));
wp_enqueue_script('your_namespace');
Assuming that the page you want to display on the front end is a normal WordPress page - created in the pages tab, post type page.
Very simply you can just use the following PHP code to include it in a template:
<?php
$page = get_post(192994);
echo $page->post_content;
?>
If it needs to be a shortcode you can add this into your functions.php:
function output_page_function($atts) {
$page_id = $atts['page_id'];
if (!$page_id) return false;
$page = get_post($page_id);
return $page->post_content;
}
add_shortcode('output_page', 'output_page_function');
And include a shortcode where desired (with 'page_id' attribute)
[output_page page_id=192994]
If it's not a WordPress page, but an actual wp-admin screen, then this would be significantly more difficult/not possible.
I have created page template in wordpress. right now its url is static like http://localhost/wordpress/test-test1 but i want to make it dynamic like http://localhost/wordpress/test1-test-test2 . Is it possible to create a single page template having dynamic url??
I want both url's to comes on single page. If page templating approach is not good then what could be other approaches. Here the test urls:
http://localhost/wordpress/test-test1
http://localhost/wordpress/test1-test-test2
http://localhost/wordpress/test13-test2-test1
I found similar links but none of the link helped me.
Here it depends on how would you change to pass argument, Suppose the last stage and it should be same always, and let page name 'anything'
<?php
add_action('init', 'add_my_rule');
function add_my_rule()
{
global $wp;
$wp->add_query_var('args');
add_rewrite_rule('test\/laststage\/(.*)','index.php?pagename=Pagename&args=$matches[1]','top');
Apply your custom template to this page, & on that template use this:
//if you visit http://.../test/laststage/name/AnyName, thus this $params will be name/AnyName.Now need to explode this and get the value.
$params = get_query_var('args');

I am trying to write a plugin for wordpress. I have a problem i can't solve.
Inside plugin i habe added a shortcode that show a form.
function showForm() {
echo '<form method="post" action="www.example.com/myDestinationPage">';
[...]
}
add_shortcode( 'ShowFormSC' , 'showForm' );
After that, in a page, i added the shortcode and it works perfectly. ;-)
Now the problem: how can i read POST data in myDestinationPage (another wordpress page)?
In Php would be very simple ... but in wordpress I do not know how to do.
Second problem: myDestinationPage must be a real wordpress page with another shortcode inside, or can be defined as a "virtual" page inside my plugin?
Thank you for your help!
Best Regards,
Simone
www.example.com/myDestinationPage needs to be edited to recieve the post data, just as in any other php script, wordpress or not. If 'myDestinationPage' resolves to dynamic wordpress content, then you are in muddy waters.
Let's say, myDestinationPage is a wordpress Post. That "page" doesn't exist as a file, it comes directly from the database.
You could write a shortcode which handles this though:
add_shortcode('post_parser', 'postParser');
. . .
function postParser() {
filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'my_post_value');
//do something
}
Then, you just add the '[post_parser]' shortcode to the myDestinatioPage Post. (You mentioned it's a wordpress page, but page & post are both WP_Post objects.)
Another option is to put your post processing code in the post.php (or whichever template myDestinationPage is).
1st answer: you can directly use $_POST in wordpress like in php.
2nd answer: Yes you can. If you want to use pages in your plugin, use plugins_url() to generate the path for form action.

I am developing a plugin for wordpress that loads javascript in a page.
But i want this plugin to load only on selected pages. Not all pages.
Can someone suggest how to do that?
Here is the code.
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'soundninja_enqueue');
function soundninja_enqueue($hook)
{
wp_enqueue_script('soundninja', // id
'http://soundninja.github.io/SNtest/build/Soundninja.min.js', // path
array('jquery'), // dependencies
0, // appends ?ver=$wordpress_version
true // in_footer
);
}
Another possible workaround would be to keep the plugin deactivated and activate it only for the required pages. This would prevent the additional overhead involved in loading the plugin on pages where the plugin is not required. And most importantly you do not have to tweak the code of the existing plugin.
Here is the post which can give you more idea http://shibashake.com/wordpress-theme/how-to-selectively-load-plugins-for-specific-pages
Depending on where you will call your function soundninja_enqueue($hook) you can easily add an if statement asking if the current page/post id is in an allowed list of ids.
But first you need to get the current page/post id, for this you have a couple of options, depending if are calling the function inside or outside of The loop.
see here on how to get the current page id in wordpress
<?php
$allowedIds = array(12,13,14);
if (in_array($currentID,$allowedIds)) soundninja_enqueue($hook);
Another option is to pass the the current page/post id as a parameter to the function and do the same if test inside the function, your choice.
I'm trying to make a custom Taxonomy Term page in Drupal 7. I've created a page--taxonomy.tpl.php file in my templates folder. The file only prints out a message. I now try to force the template file by adding
function template_preprocess_page($variables) {
if (arg(0) == 'taxonomy') {
$variables['template_file'] = 'page--taxonomy-tpl';
}
}
in my template.php, but it won't work. Can you help me? And if I get the custom page working, how do I fetch the nodes with this term (in page--taxonomy.tpl.php)? Thanks in advance.
Try using this in your template.php:
function template_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
if (arg(0) == 'taxonomy') {
$variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'page__taxonomy';
}
}
You need to pass $variables by reference, so add a & before it
template_file has changed to theme_hook_suggestions in Drupal 7
You don't need the -tpl in the template suggestion unless you want it to be a part of the filename like "page--taxonomy-tpl.tpl.php" which I don't think is what you want.
For more information, check out template_preprocess_page(), theme_get_suggestions() and Working with template suggestions
Not sure if this would meet your requirements, but one of default D7 views - Taxonomy term - emulates Drupal core's handling of taxonomy/term pages. You could just enable it (it would automatically replace Drupal's core taxonomy URLs), and then do whatever you want with it, keeping original page structure, all blocks etc, using Views' page templates (see "Theming information" in "Advanced") and all other bells and whistles...
Since you are using Drupal 7, you could also create a file name "taxnomy-term.tpl.php" and edit according to your needs.
See taxonomy-term.tpl.php
Full control over the taxonomy term page can be obtained using hook_menu_alter() . See https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/48420/theming-and-overriding-taxonomy-term-vocabulary-page/111194#111194
