I am looking to add a second project section to our sites homepage, can someone please assist me with how I would achieve this?
Hi @seery89,
Before you do the below actions please backup your file and use instead a child theme!!
You could achieve more projects sections by editing the file front-page-projects.php by copying and pasting right after </section><!–/#projects.front-page-section–> the following code:
<section id="projects" class="front-page-section" style="<?php if( !$general_title && !$general_entry ): echo 'padding-top: 0;'; endif; ?>">
<?php if( $general_title || $general_entry ): ?>
<div class="section-header">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<?php if( $general_title ): ?>
<div class="col-sm-12">
<h3><?php echo illdy_sanitize_html( $general_title ); ?></h3>
</div><!--/.col-sm-12-->
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if( $general_entry ): ?>
<div class="col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-1">
<p><?php echo illdy_sanitize_html( $general_entry ); ?></p>
</div><!--/.col-sm-10.col-sm-offset-1-->
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!--/.row-->
</div><!--/.container-->
</div><!--/.section-header-->
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="section-content">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row inline-columns">
<?php
if( is_active_sidebar( 'front-page-projects-sidebar' ) ):
dynamic_sidebar( 'front-page-projects-sidebar' );
elseif( current_user_can( 'edit_theme_options' ) & defined("ILLDY_COMPANION") ):
$the_widget_args = array(
'before_widget' => '<div class="col-sm-3 col-xs-6 no-padding widget_illdy_project">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '',
'after_title' => ''
);
the_widget( 'Illdy_Widget_Project', 'title='. __( 'Project 1', 'illdy' ) .'&image='. esc_url( '/layout/images/front-page/front-page-project-1.jpg' ) .'&url='. esc_url( '#' ), $the_widget_args );
the_widget( 'Illdy_Widget_Project', 'title='. __( 'Project 2', 'illdy' ) .'&image='. esc_url( '/layout/images/front-page/front-page-project-2.jpg' ) .'&url='. esc_url( '#' ), $the_widget_args );
the_widget( 'Illdy_Widget_Project', 'title='. __( 'Project 3', 'illdy' ) .'&image='. esc_url( '/layout/images/front-page/front-page-project-3.jpg' ) .'&url='. esc_url( '#' ), $the_widget_args );
the_widget( 'Illdy_Widget_Project', 'title='. __( 'Project 4', 'illdy' ) .'&image='. esc_url( '/layout/images/front-page/front-page-project-4.jpg' ) .'&url='. esc_url( '#' ), $the_widget_args );
endif;
?>
</div><!--/.row-->
</div><!--/.container-fluid-->
</div><!--/.section-content-->
</section><!--/#projects.front-page-section-->
keep in mind that this will copy your entire project section as it is now with all the images that you created, so you need to change them in appearance-> customize-> widgets-> projects->front page sidebar projects.
thank you,
Cristian
Thankyou for the reply however I don’t think I have explained the question clearly enough as your solution simply expands out the existing projected section into a large one.
What I am trying to achieve is having a completely separate second projects section so that I can have a different title, description and images in it. I also want to place this several sections down the page from the first projects section.
If you have a look at our website www.we-support.co.uk you will see what I am trying to achieve.
Thanks for the help!
Hi,
Than, I think the solution would be to insert a widget html in with this code customized as you wish:
<section id="projects" class="front-page-section" style="">
<div class="section-header">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
div class="col-sm-12">
<h3>Accommodation second </h3>
</div><!--/.col-sm-12-->
<div class="col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-1">
<p>We Support operate a variety of Supported Living settings ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety are upheld within our services. Take a look at some of our properties below:</p>
</div><!--/.col-sm-10.col-sm-offset-1-->
</div><!--/.row-->
</div><!--/.container-->
</div><!--/.section-header-->
<div class="section-content">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row inline-columns">
<div id="illdy_project-4" class="col-sm-3 col-xs-6 no-padding widget_illdy_project"><a href="/accommodation" title="Kitchen Facilities" class="project" style="background-image: url("https://i2.wp.com/www.we-support.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Screen-Shot-2016-11-22-at-14.36.56.png?resize=476%2C476"); height: 337px;"><span class="project-overlay"></span></a></div><div id="illdy_project-5" class="col-sm-3 col-xs-6 no-padding widget_illdy_project"><a href="/accommodation" title="Large Detached Properties" class="project" style="background-image: url("https://i1.wp.com/www.we-support.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_7351.jpg?resize=476%2C476"); height: 337px;"><span class="project-overlay"></span></a></div><div id="illdy_project-3" class="col-sm-3 col-xs-6 no-padding widget_illdy_project"><a href="/accommodation" title="En-Suite Bedrooms" class="project" style="background-image: url("https://i2.wp.com/www.we-support.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Screen-Shot-2016-11-22-at-14.29.13.png?resize=476%2C476"); height: 337px;"><span class="project-overlay"></span></a></div><div id="illdy_project-6" class="col-sm-3 col-xs-6 no-padding widget_illdy_project"><a href="/accommodation" title="Enclosed Gardens" class="project" style="background-image: url("https://i0.wp.com/www.we-support.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Screen-Shot-2016-11-22-at-14.35.10.png?resize=334%2C428"); height: 337px;"><span class="project-overlay"></span></a></div> </div><!--/.row-->
</div><!--/.container-fluid-->
</div><!--/.section-content-->
</section>
Thank you,
Cristian
It’s not possible to insert a new widget into the front page they appear to be fixed to the setup in the theme or I would have already done this.
Hi @seery89,
Your request seems that it requires some custom work from a developer, as I received the instructions from the developer team.
I will let you here the instructions from the developer team, but if something is not working as expected you will need to contact a developer as I could not assist you in this custom modification in the free support assistance
- Use a child theme
- Create a new sidebar like this one : https://github.com/puikinsh/illdy/blob/master/functions.php
3)Create a new frontpage-projects -> https://github.com/puikinsh/illdy/blob/master/sections/front-page-projects.php - You need to change the sidebar id with the new sidebar created by adding in this section the id created:
get_template_part( 'sections/front-page', 'projects' );and you will put in the order desired.
Thank you,
Cristian
Thanks for the reply once again.
I have done the first three points however Where am I adding the final part? I.e. point 4, the text below;
get_template_part( ‘sections/front-page’, ‘projects’ );
in Front page projects, after dynamic_sidebar( ‘front-page-projects-sidebar’ );
I need this too please! Can I please have the private information share @Colorlib Support or @seery89? Thanks!
I’d like to add any type of other section, not necessarily project, but I’m sure same technique would work.
Hi @whitparks,
As I said also to seery89 it requires some custom work from a developer, as I received the instructions from the developer team.
I will let you here the instructions from the developer team, but if something is not working as expected you will need to contact a developer as I could not assist you because this falls good outside the support plan but more in the custom work type.
- Use a child theme-see instruction on how to use a child theme
- Create a new sidebar like this one : https://github.com/puikinsh/illdy/blob/master/functions.php
3)Create a new frontpage-projects -> https://github.com/puikinsh/illdy/blob/master/sections/front-page-projects.php - You need to change the sidebar id with the new sidebar created by adding in this section the id created:
get_template_part( ‘sections/front-page’, ‘projects’ ); and you will put in the order desired.
Thank you,
I couldn’t manage to get this working it just blank screens everytime.
Did you manage to get this working?
Hi @seery89,
This was posted as an future enhancement for this theme, due to the fact that it requires some custom work.
I will keep you updated
Thanks,
Cristian
Hi @colorlibsupport! Was this issue updated by the developers? 
I am interested in creating multiple “full-width” sections. Thanks!
Hi there
Im sorry but not yet
