I'm looking for a way to customize the woocommerce sidebar. I was able to find the template named sidebar.php but it only contain the get_sidebar('shop') function, but there is no sidebar-shop.php file inside the woocommerce templates folder. I'm not able to customize it to place it on the right side of the screen. I've setted up bootstrap rows and classes for almost all of the main templates files, but also if I set three products per row and col-3, the sidebar will stay to the bottom of the page. I'm using hooks as suggested from docs. Can anyone guide me please?
How do you have a completely different look for each category in magento 2 (custom category layouts), in magento 1.* I know you could change the template either checking for the page layout or changing the template in the custom layout update via xml however magento 2 doesn't let you change templates in here?
I tried following http://www.magestore.com/magento-2-tutorial/how-to-design-a-custom-magento-2-category-page-template/ but didn't really understand how it worked.
Magento 2 seems much more difficult to get my head around than the previous version so any help is greatly appreciated.
You need to create a xml file catalog_category_view_id_{{id}}.xml under your theme > Magento_Catalog > layout and change list file.
For detail :

GO To admin -> Manage Category and select particular category that you want different design and ther is one tab "custom design" . in this tab there is one drop down list with name "custom design". you can select custom design for perticular category.
Here are the steps that you will follow in this Magento 2: Change category page layout
On the Admin page, look for Product section. Then click on Categories section under Inventory.
You can see the category tree on the left, choose any category for which you want to change the page layout.
Then find the Custom design section, click on it.
Now you can change both category page layout and custom theme here.
In this section, you can use 2 fields to change the category page layout. The Page Layout and Custom Layout Update.
Page Layout field gives you 6 options to change the category layout.
The Custom Layout Update allows you to update the theme layout with XML code.
These are the options for changing category page layout.
New to WordPress theme design, and my google searching is not returning what I am after.
I have a theme I have created and its fine, but the text is all hardcoded into the theme.
I want there to be options in the theme appearance settings? (right place?) where a user can e.g. enter their 'about us' text.
But I have no idea what I should be searching or how to pull in that information into my theme.
Im no a beginner to PHP, but just the way WordPress works itself.
A link, search term or quick start is all I need.
I think you might find the (Free) Advanced Custom Fields plugin useful: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/
You can add unlimited custom fields and create user interfaces for non-technical people to add content to your theme without them touching any code.
If you set up a field named 'about_text', calling it in your theme would look like this:
<?php the_field('about_text'); ?>
First, you should learn how wordpress is working to display the content. In back office, under Settings > Reading you'll find an option that let you tell how you want Wordpress to deal with the front page : is it a listing of the posts, or a static page?
If you choose the first options, it will use the index.php template from your theme folder. If it's a static page, you'll have to select which page to use for displaying the home (a page you created under the Menu page). The template that will be use then is front-page.php.
For every post / page (page is a post_type, just a variation of post) there will be a title field, a wysiwyg content and a featured image which will be displayed in a template. That's all you can manage by default. To display the title you can use the_title, the content the_content and for the featured image you will need the_post_thumbnail - note that those functions will need to be used inside the loop.
In order to display some more fun, you have many tools at your disposal:
Widgets : widgets are displayed in a sidebar - don't take it literally, it's just a zone of your template. You can register a sidebar with register_sidebar (use this inside your functions.php file, within an init hook). Then in your template you can display the sidebar with dynamic_sidebar.
In WP back office, go then under Appearence > Widgets. You will find your brand new sidebar where you can put any kind of widget you want. If you need a wysiwyg widget, I recommend you to install the Black Studio TinyMCE widget.
Custom fields : any post_type (a post type is an entry in wp_posts) in Wordpress have some associated metas store in wp_postmeta. A meta is defined by a key and a value - it's like any post have an associated array that you can customize.
There is two ways to work with custom fields. First, you can use the default Wordpress feature: when editing a page, click on the screen options button on the top right and enable "custom fields". You will now have a new area to work with on the bottom of the page : you can add fields by name (by default it will list the existing fields names but you can add your own) and value. It's good enough to simple text fields. Then in your template, you can get that value with the get_post_meta function.
The other way is to use a custom fields plugin, which allow you to have wysiwyg fields, loops, media uploader, datepicker... Two popular plugins are Advanced Custom Fields and Custom Field Suite. They both allow you to easily create set of fields for any page / post_type from the back office, and provide their own functions to manipulate fields in templates (but you can still use the WP functions if you want). For example, to get a custom field with Custom Field Suite you do: CFS()->get('my_custom_field').
Custom Post Types : sometimes, custom fields and widgets are not really convenient when you deal with a lot of data with possibly associated pages. In that cases, you can create your own post types just like posts or pages, but you can define which capabilities they have. Use register_post_type to define your new post type (still in init hook), that will make a new section available in your back office, just like posts. Then in your template you can query them with get_posts, the WP function that you will probably the most use when you'll start to play with Wordpress. I suggest you to read the WP_Query documentation in order to learn more about it.
And, at last but not least, you can create your own template that you can associate with any pages. For that, create a php file named whatever you want in your theme folder, paste into it the content from page.php and add this PHP comment on top :
/*
Template Name: My Template
*/
Then choose this template in the dropdown when you edit a page (on the right sidebar).
I think you will have enough to play with, but if you want learn more I recommend you to read about Wordpress hooks and the Widget API to create your own widgets.
Have fun with Wordpress!
I need to add custom fields to a Page.
I created a Plugin that manages the Categories/SubCategories. But now I can't find how can I show the category field on the "Add Page Modal" view without editing the original file inside Ip/Internal/Pages.
As the override folder in themes is only for views is there a way to override/extend internal controllers?
E.g:
- adding multiple tags, categories, etc.
- A widget that filters the pages that have the selected tags (!= alias, because is not unique)
Thanks!
You can definitely add your fields to page details. Check the plugins for examples (this plugin adds it's own section - http://market.impresspages.org/plugins/PageImage).
However, I doubt that you can add fields to a modal. If you really need this, create a feature request on GitHub.
