[Solved] Different plugins in different sidebars/areas?

I’d like to include different plugins, but not all in the same sidebar; instead, the About plugin in a sidebar or below the main content, and Edi’s new Navigation plugin in a header section. I read the post about sorting plugins:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1068, but I still don’t know how to show only one of the activated plugins in one area. Is that possible anyway? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
take a look to this doc,
https://docs.bludit.com/en/developers/plugins
You can check different plugins if are activated and then print the sidebar on part of the theme where you like.

I don’t understand it. I have a PHP file
about.php, and another,
navi.php. If I put the following code into about.php, for example, it gives me an error like below:
Code: Select all
<?php
// Class name of the plugin
$className = 'pluginAbout';
// Get the Plugin-Object
$plugin = getPlugin($className);
Theme::plugins('pluginAbout')
?>
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/ud21_353/html/bl-kernel/helpers/theme.class.php on line 151
And if my code is as follows, all activated plugins appear on the web page:
Code: Select all
<?php
// Class name of the plugin
$className = 'pluginAbout';
// Get the Plugin-Object
$plugin = getPlugin($className);
Theme::plugins('siteSidebar')
?>
(The difference is in the last line.)
But what I want is: the Navigation plugin on top of the page, and the About plugin on the bottom. What’s my mistake?

I don't know where you get this code.
Code: Select all
<?php
// Class name of the plugin
$className = 'pluginAbout';
// Get the Plugin-Object
$plugin = getPlugin($className);
Theme::plugins('pluginAbout')
?>
but the idea is this
Code: Select all
<?php
// Class name of the plugin
$className = 'pluginAbout';
// Get the Plugin-Object
$plugin = getPlugin($className);
echo $plugin->siteSidebar();
?>

There must be a Helper in the Theme for the Hook of the plugin:

Code: Select all
<aside>
<?php
Theme::plugins('siteSidebar');
?>
</aside>
This is the helper, right? It works, but will show
every activated plugin. But I’d like to have the Navigation plugin in the horizontal navigation bar (
nav), and the About plugin in an area below the main content (
aside) – not all of the activated plugins in the same area. Is that possible anyway?
Or you could also imagine a website with two sidebars, one on the left, one on the right beside the main content.

Finally I could solve my problem!
Thank you so much, Edi, this works fine for me
. Now I have a file
php/about.php with the following code:
Code: Select all
<?php
if( $plugins['all']['pluginAbout']->installed() ){
echo '<h3 class="plugin-label">'.$plugins['all']['pluginAbout']->getValue('label').'</h3>';
echo html_entity_decode(nl2br($plugins['all']['pluginAbout']->getValue('text')));
}
?>
And another file called
php/navi.php with the code:
Code: Select all
<?php
if( $plugins['all']['pluginNavigation']->installed() ) {
echo '<h3>'.$plugins['all']['pluginNavigation']->getValue('label').'</h3>';
echo'<ul class="menu">';
// Foreach parent-page
foreach ( $pagesByParent[PARENT] as $Parent ) {
echo '<li'.( ($Parent->key()==$Url->slug())?' class="active"':'').'><a href="'.$Parent->permalink().'">'.$Parent->title().'</a></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
?>
And in my
index.php I include both of them in different areas:
Code: Select all
<nav>
<div class="navi">
<?php include(THEME_DIR_PHP.'navi.php'); ?>
</div>
</nav>
Code: Select all
<div class="content">
<aside>
<?php
include(THEME_DIR_PHP.'about.php');
?>
</aside>
</div>
It’s so easy if you know how to do it. And as soon as you do it right, it works …

How can I mark this thread as solved? Or does a moderator have to do this?
