I'm having trouble with a multi-layout option on a wordpress theme sight http://sight.wpshower.com/
the traffic have the option of a grid or a list layout at the click of a button. at present the list layout is default. I am interested in making the grid layout default .
this is some of the php, i tried simply swapping the word grid for list but although this does work to an extent , if done on the loop.php page it removes the a:hover functions on the post boxes in the grid format. also if done on the index.php it switches buttons on the main index page.
any ideas??
loop.php
<div id="loop" class="<?php if ($_COOKIE['mode'] == 'grid') echo 'grid'; else echo 'list'; ?> clear">
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div <?php post_class('post clear'); ?> id="post_<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) :?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" class="thumb"><?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail', array(
'alt' => trim(strip_tags( $post->post_title )),
'title' => trim(strip_tags( $post->post_title )),
)); ?></a>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="post-category"><?php the_category(' / '); ?></div>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<!-- <div class="post-meta">by <span class="post-author"><a
href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url(get_the_author_meta('ID')); ?>" title="Posts by <?php the_author(); ?>"><?php the_author(); ?></a></span>
on <span
class="post-date"><?php the_time(__('M j, Y')) ?></span> <em>• </em><?php comments_popup_link(__('No Comments'), __('1 Comment'), __('% Comments'), '', __('Comments Closed')); ?> <?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit entry'), '<em>• </em>'); ?>
</div> -->
<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit entry'), '<em>• </em>'); ?>
<div class="post-content"><?php if (function_exists('smart_excerpt')) smart_excerpt(get_the_excerpt(), 55); ?></div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
index.php
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="content-title">
Projects
<a href="javascript: void(0);" id="mode"<?php if ($_COOKIE['mode'] == 'grid') echo ' class="flip"'; ?>></a>
</div>
<?php query_posts(array(
'post__not_in' => $exl_posts,
'paged' => $paged,
)
); ?>
<?php get_template_part('loop'); ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
<?php get_template_part('pagination'); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
So unfortunately I can't comment my previous answer. And yes I know that this topic is really old, but there is a solution to this. Since several files needed to be changed the full answer can be found here: http://alpipego.com/get-the-grid-view-by-default-sight-1-0-1-wpshower-theme-part-iii/
I know this is not the newest question. But I guess more people will be searching for an answer. So I'll give it a try.
So I guess we are having multiple problems:
You disabled the hover function because you put too much code inside the comment brackets. I guess you only wanted to remove the author?! This should do it:
<div class="post-meta"><!-- by <span class="post-author"><a
href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url(get_the_author_meta('ID')); ?>" title="Posts by <?php the_author(); ?>"><?php the_author(); ?></a></span> -->
- Modify index.php, loop.php and archive.php.
- Then you'll also have to modify the 'js/script.js' as well.
- The last step is to change the 'images/mode.png'.
So here is what it looks like:
index.php Line 5:
<a href="javascript: void(0);" id="mode"<?php if ($_COOKIE['mode'] == 'list') echo ' class="flip"'; ?>></a>
loop.php line 3:
<div id="loop" class="<?php if ($_COOKIE['mode'] == 'list') echo 'list'; else echo 'grid'; ?> clear">
archive.php line 22:
<a href="javascript: void(0);" id="mode"<?php if ($_COOKIE['mode'] == 'list') echo ' class="flip"'; ?>></a>
script.js lines 45-63:
/*** View mode ***/
if ( $.cookie('mode') == 'grid' ) {
grid_update();
} else if ( $.cookie('mode') == 'list' ) {
list_update();
}
$('#mode').toggle(
function(){
if ( $.cookie('mode') == 'list' ) {
$.cookie('mode','grid');
grid();
} else {
$.cookie('mode','list');
list();
}
},
function(){
if ( $.cookie('mode') == 'grid') {
$.cookie('mode','list');
list();
} else {
$.cookie('mode','grid');
grid();
}
}
);
function grid(){
$('#mode').removeClass('flip');
$('#loop')
.fadeOut('fast', function(){
grid_update();
$(this).fadeIn('fast');
})
;
}
function list(){
$('#mode').addClass('flip');
$('#loop')
.fadeOut('fast', function(){
list_update();
$(this).fadeIn('fast');
})
;
}
function grid_update(){
$('#loop').addClass('grid').removeClass('list');
$('#loop').find('.thumb img').attr({'width': '190', 'height': '190'});
$('#loop').find('.post')
.mouseenter(function(){
$(this)
.css('background-color','#DADADA')
.find('.thumb').hide()
.css('z-index','-1');
})
.mouseleave(function(){
$(this)
.css('background-color','#f5f5f5')
.find('.thumb').show()
.css('z-index','1');
});
$('#loop').find('.post').click(function(){
location.href=$(this).find('h2 a').attr('href');
});
$.cookie('mode','grid');
}
function list_update(){
$('#loop').addClass('list').removeClass('grid');
$('#loop').find('.post').removeAttr('style').unbind('mouseenter').unbind('mouseleave');
$('#loop').find('.thumb img').attr({'width': '290', 'height': '290'});
$.cookie('mode', 'list');
}
Finally you will have to rotate the mode.png 180°
Works for me: Check it out on my site: grid.alpipego.
