I am trying to add an ID attribute to row in Visual Composer via documented function vc_add_param()
in such a way:
$attributes = array(
'type' => 'textfield',
'heading' => "HTML ID",
'param_name' => 'el_id',
'value' => '',
'description' => __( "Assign an ID to the row", "discprofile" )
);
vc_add_param( 'vc_row', $attributes );
ID field appears when I edit a row. I set a value, save it, save page, view it, but there is no affect to frontend. A row still has no ID attribute.
I've also tried use 'param_name' => 'id'
and 'param_name' => 'element_id'
, it was the same. What is wrong?
Solution:
We have to remap a shortcode and change its template to add additional parameters.
So, in my case:
// Add custom row options
function change_vc_rows() {
// Add parameters we want
vc_add_param('vc_row', array(
'type' => 'textfield',
'heading' => "HTML ID",
'param_name' => 'element_id',
'value' => '',
'description' => __("Assign an ID to the row", "discprofile")
));
// Update 'vc_row' to include custom vc_row template and remap shortcode
$new_map = vc_map_update( 'vc_row', array('html_template' => locate_template('templates/vc_row.php')) );
// Remove default vc_row
vc_remove_element('vc_row');
// Remap shortcode with custom template
vc_map($new_map['vc_row']);
}
// Include our function when all wordpress stuff is loaded
add_action( 'wp_loaded', 'change_vc_rows' );
We included templates/vc_rows.php file. It is the row template file, copied from plugins/js_composer/include/templates/shortcodes/vc_rows.php with some changes. Here it is:
<?php
/** @var $this WPBakeryShortCode_VC_Row */
// $element_id was added to output
$output = $element_id = $el_class = $bg_image = $bg_color = $bg_image_repeat = $font_color = $padding = $margin_bottom = $css = $full_width = '';
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
// added element_id attribute
'element_id' => '',
'el_class' => '',
'bg_image' => '',
'bg_color' => '',
'bg_image_repeat' => '',
'font_color' => '',
'padding' => '',
'margin_bottom' => '',
'full_width' => false,
'css' => '',
), $atts ) );
// wp_enqueue_style( 'js_composer_front' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'wpb_composer_front_js' );
// wp_enqueue_style('js_composer_custom_css');
$el_class = $this->getExtraClass( $el_class );
$css_class = apply_filters( VC_SHORTCODE_CUSTOM_CSS_FILTER_TAG, 'vc_row wpb_row ' . ( $this->settings( 'base' ) === 'vc_row_inner' ? 'vc_inner ' : '' ) . get_row_css_class() . $el_class . vc_shortcode_custom_css_class( $css, ' ' ), $this->settings['base'], $atts );
$style = $this->buildStyle( $bg_image, $bg_color, $bg_image_repeat, $font_color, $padding, $margin_bottom );
?>
<!-- Added an ID attribute where we echo our $element_id variable -->
<div <?php
?>class="<?php echo esc_attr( $css_class ); ?><?php if ( $full_width == 'stretch_row_content_no_spaces' ): echo ' vc_row-no-padding'; endif; ?>" id="<?php echo $element_id; ?>" <?php if ( ! empty( $full_width ) ) {
echo ' data-vc-full-width="true"';
if ( $full_width == 'stretch_row_content' || $full_width == 'stretch_row_content_no_spaces' ) {
echo ' data-vc-stretch-content="true"';
}
} ?> <?php echo $style; ?>><?php
echo wpb_js_remove_wpautop( $content );
?></div><?php echo $this->endBlockComment( 'row' );
echo '<div class="vc_row-full-width"></div>';
