Rich Home Pages — Documentation
Prerequisites
Once the website is setup locally, do the following
- Look at the new theme and understand its various elements.
- Compare it with BizLand to know that rich page sections can vary.
- See ./amadeus/themes/cv-yoga/home.php / view source of the output to understand the html.
- See Rich Pages built in Amadeus that are sheet driven.
- Start correlating the content with the sheet and take a note on what section to be done.
Understanding the System
Basic Syntax
Load Sheet
This command will load the 'home' sheet from the data folder of the website
<?php $sheet = get_sheet('home', 'homeSection'); ?>
Looping
This will let you loop through rows matching a given section. Once you start a flower brackets { and switch to html by typing ?> then you need to make sure there is a closing bracket.
<?php foreach ($home->sections['hero'] as $item) {?>
//html that may use item_r
<?php } ?>
Load Column
An item_r function is defined in functions.php and it handles any needed substitutions and strategies for the website. It will include | to newline character replacement as sheets do not support multiline content. For Example, to render the Heading, you may say
<h1><?php item_r('title', $item); ?></h1>
Full Sample
<ul>
<?php foreach ($home->sections['abouts'] as $item) {?>
<li>
<i class="<?php item_r_or('css', $item, 'bx bx-store-alt'); ?>"></i>
<div>
<h5><?php item_r('title', $item); ?></h5>
<p><?php item_r('content', $item); ?></p>
</div>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
Wrapping Up
- Make a new sheet copying the column names and rows of the section column alone
- Correlate the html you are converting with what you are defining. Try to use the same names as the sections in html.
- Remember html will copy the same seeming block multiple times but in our case, we use a template and content will come from the sheet as multiple rows.
- Even a single item will need to use the foreach syntax and it is understood that whoever is loading the content will have a single row only. Example is the about section heading text / the hero section
