I need to create a form that will be called many times through application .
below is the steps i did :
1- Create a form.php page and place it in my child theme folder.
C:\wamp\www\test\wp-content\themes\designfolio-child
i wrote the below code at the top of the page
<?php /* Template Name: Hercal Template */ ?>
and then i write my form code.
2-This page calls another PHP files and Jquery file , i place those file in
C:\wamp\www\test
3- I create a wordpress page and select a template option 'Hercal Template' ,
The page run now ,form loaded and working fine but i have some issue that i need to understand.
1-What about security , is it secure to place files and database connection to test folder directly ?
2-How can i call my form inside other pages ?
3-the above steps enables me to create a template page , so what is the difference between template page , plugin , short code that refer a function ???
I mean :
when i create a plugin , i can call it anywhere by using function name.
when i create a function,place it into wp-content and create shortcode for it , i can call it anywhere by using shortcode .
so what is the difference between them , i have conflict between (page template,plugin,shortcode).
Thanks
You should use shortcode to display form.
if you will use template than you can't put extra content/design for multiple places.
if you will use function than you have to call that in your page or you need to physically edit template file.
if you will use your form as shortcode than you can access/call it anywhere in your page/post/custom post and place it on anywhere between the div, paragraph etc.
Even you can access it on php file as well
I suggest you to use short code

The file is manually created by me & not a part of the theme.
I've tried by placing get_header( ) inside my file but it shows a error that get_header( ) is not defined.
Maybe you don't have default header and footer names. Then you need to set additional name.
Includes the header.php template file from your current theme's directory. If a name is specified then a specialised header header-{name}.php will be included.
If the theme contains no header.php file then the header from the
default theme wp-includes/theme-compat/header.php will be included.
Source: https://codex.wordpress.org/get_header
I highly discourage it but you need to include the wp-load.php file that resides in the root of your wordpress installation, in your lone php file. That is how you have access to WP functions and capabilities.
But again I HIGHLY DISCOURAGE IT. Find another way, create a simple plugin and activate it, in which you put that php file's code, or if part of a theme, just create a new page template with a different header, that you can call with get_header('name_of_header_without_php_extension') or a new footer called the same way but with get_footer().
There are alternatives, maybe if you share what you are trying to achieve, we can guide you to a better, safe solution.
Based on theme it's defer.
Same time define as get_header(),get_footer()
But now latest themse assign particular theme name based header & footer function
Ex: Theme Name is "Demo"
So the header function assign as Demo_get_header() or get_header_Demo()
Dashboard ->Appearance ->Editor -> in your Template file or in page.php write
<?php get_header()?>,<?php get_footer()?>
if you want to use different headers on different pages
1. create new file , name it header-example.php
2. you can call this header in any page using code
In wordpress how can we use functions like is_user_logged_in(), we can use this function in any page like header.php , sidebar.php
In wordpress page we are making a form which will be submitted using ajax. Suppose we are gatering form's data on a page 'submitform.php' whose url is www.mysite.com/submitform.php which is totally a custom page.
Now how will I be able to know using is_user_logged_in(); function whether user is logged in or not. because submitform.php is a simple page outside wordpress.
At the top of your custom PHP file, use the following to load WordPress core functionality. This assumes your file is in the root of the installation:
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('wp-blog-header.php');
I'm using [insert_php] plugin in Wordpress and I have inserted php function in it.If I set the block with the function before the the masonry grid it doesn't load.
If I move the block with the function after the grid it works well.
In console log is appearing an alert:
Syntax error, unrecognized expression: {'status':'Nothing found'}
How can I sole that?
Grid before php block
Block php before the grid
What you need to do is create a page template. This page template can be used to create PHP for your page to load, and you can even use
<?php echo do_shortcode('[shortcode]'); ?>
To create a template just copy your page.php into a new file called tpl_test.php.
Then make sure to have this in the very first line:
`<?php
/*
Template Name: Test Template
*/
?>`
Then, a small window will show up on the back-end of WordPress when you edit the page. In the right hand column you need to select the page template for the page you just created, and update the page. then, any code you put in the custom Page Template will display correctly on your WordPress site. Also, make sure <?php the_content() ?> is below your grid you are trying to output.
I am a newbie in Yii Framework and creating a CRM which is module based.
Using different tutorials I am able to create my own theme, but now I am stucked at one point.
In my theme, the upper <nav> and left <nav> remains the same throughout the app, until user is logged in. That's why I made it a part of my main.php, but in the login page there are no buttons to show, just simple login form with 2 textfields.
How can I implement this form in my application using custom themes?
I have tried to define a layout in that particular action but not succeeded. Any help would be appreciated.
Using a custom layout for your view is the right way to go.
You can either set the layout in the controller action or in the view.
$this->layout = "//layouts/mylayout";
Note that the default layouts column1.php and column2.php also use the main.php layout file.
Try this step by step :
Create New theme
You can create a new theme and add this to the directory
Application_Root/themes.
Look at the themes/classic directory to get an an idea of the structure of the directory.
The important file (at this stage) is :-
Application_Root/themes/views/layouts/main.php
Customise your theme contents
Copy the css, image, js files etc to the correct directory and change the main.php file to your liking. For example, if your main.php says
<link href="css/mystyle.css" rel="stylesheet">
Then you will have a file
Application_Root/css/mystyle.css
Create the content placeholder.
Somewhere in your main.php, there will be a placeholder for dynamic text, which is specified by.
<?php echo $content; ?>
Tell yii to use the theme.
Change the file Application_Root/protected/config/main.php by adding the following line just before the last line (containing the closing bracket).
'theme'=>'surveyhub'
Create the layout placeholders.
Create an HTML segment that will be written into the $contents portion of main.php. Call it for example one_column.php. The file path will therefore be Application_Root/themes/views/layouts/one_column.php In that file, where you want the dynamic text to be placed, create a placeholder.
<?php echo $content; ?>
Tell Yii to use the layout.
In the file Application_Root/protected/components/Controller.php, add or modify the layout variable to read :
public $layout='//layouts/one_column.php';
Refresh the page
I am trying to modify a theme on wordpress. The theme shows a slider on the front page, which reads from the featured.php file.
I have gone into the featured.php and removed all the PHP code. I can inject my custom HTML into the featured.php and the pages display properly, however I want the page to display from a wordpress page.
So i tried to:
<?php
$html = file_get_contents('http://www.mydomain.com/homepage-featured');
?>
The above link corresponds to a page i created in wordpress. So i want to be able to inject my HTML into that page and then when you load my homepage, the PHP tells the browser to display the contents of this URL.
The above code doesn't work.
Thanks for the help.
file_get_contents() - as its name suggests - reads a file in but does not print it. You need to echo your $html variable. A better way is to use require() or include() but if I were you I would put my custom file on the same server so that way you don't have to use the file from a remote location thus sparing network traffic.
I think you have better to use the include function.
The file_get_contents you are using would generate an HTTP request, so it would make your script slower. I think it would be a good idea to put the HTML file on the same server if possible.
Have you tried
<?php
require('http://www.mydomain.com/homepage-featured');
?>
If my understanding is correct, you are trying to use a template (featured.php) for a different page other than the front page.
To do so, just change the Page Template of the page(the separate page which is # www.url.com/myhomepage). You can change this # Dashboard > Pages (Click Edit link in the required page) > Edit Page > Page Attributes meta box (available in the rightside below Publish) > Template. Change the template of this page to "Featured".
(I assume that your code in file feature.php has Template Name: Featured at the top)
