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
