You could use the dynamic_sidebar_params filter to do your own substitution. Something like this: add_filter(‘dynamic_sidebar_params’, function($params){ $params[0][‘after_title’] = str_replace( ‘%1$s’, $params[0][‘widget_id’], $params[0][‘after_title’] ); return $params; });
Displaying registered sidebar after post content
the problem is you never call the content!!! change your dashboard.php to something like this <?php /* Template Name: User Dashboard */ ?> <?php get_header(); ?> <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> <div id=”content” role=”main”> <?php the_content(); ?> </div><!– #content –> <?php endwhile; else: ?> <p><?php _e(‘Sorry, no … Read more
You can call registered sidebars with the dynamic_sidebar() function. Just put the ID of the sidebar in to the call. In the case below the id would be homepage-sidebar. <?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(‘homepage-sidebar’) ) : ?><?php endif; ?>
This is default behavior. I believe that sidebars are listed by ID in Dashboard -> Appearance -> Widgets, and that the sidebar with ID 0 is always open in the default view.
You would register the sidebar in the functions.php file with something like this: <?php register_sidebar(array(‘name’=>’custom-content’, ‘before_widget’ => ‘<section>’, ‘after_widget’ => “</section>”, ‘before_title’ => ‘<h3>’, ‘after_title’ => “</h3>” )); ?> And Use it in your theme like this: <div class=”contents”> <?php if ( function_exists(dynamic_sidebar(1) ) ) : ?> <?php dynamic_sidebar(custom-content); ?> <?php endif; ?> </div>
You need to wrap this in a function then add it to the widgets_init action. Also the register sidebar function does not have $arguments for sort_column or sort_order. I would also change the id to ‘sidebar-‘.$page->ID add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘prefix_register_sidebars’ ); function prefix_register_sidebars() { foreach($pages as $page){ register_sidebar( array( ‘name’=>$page->post_title, ‘id’=> ‘sidebar-‘.$page->ID, ‘before_widget’ => ‘<div id=”%1$s” … Read more
register_sidebar(array( ‘name’ => ‘Post Sidebar’, ‘before_widget’ => ‘<div id=”%1$s” class=”widget %2$s”>’, ‘after_widget’ => ‘</div></div>’, ‘before_title’ => ‘<div class=”titlediv”>’, ‘after_title’ => ‘</div><div class=”widgetdiv”>’, )); You will have a wrapper div, then your title div and then your widgetdiv.
You have three options: Register a dynamic sidebar for a specific page, and then create a page template that calls dynamic_sidebar() for the registered sidebar. Use an is_page( $id ) conditional wrapper in your page.php template Output Widget code conditionally, using is_page( $id ) Custom Page Template The first option would include your register_sidebar() call … Read more
Your get_sidebar call: <?php get_sidebar; ?> is missing the parentheses: <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
