[Plugin: SubHeading] Where to put code in template?

  • I realize that this probably seems like a ridiculous question, but I am an absolute newbie at this and don’t want to screw up my code by guessing randomly.

    The plugin info just says that once it is installed, I should “Place <?php if (function_exists(‘the_subheading’)) { the_subheading(‘<p>’, ‘</p>’); } ?> in your template files where you want it to appear.”

    The problem is that I don’t know anything about the code, and therefore have no idea where to place it to make it appear where I want! I’d like the subtitle to appear either immediately to the right of or directly under the main title. If it helps, I’m using the Ahimsa theme.

  • Hi,

    I’ve just downloaded the Ahimsa theme in order to take a look for you.

    There are a few options for you here, depending on what you would like the subheading to look like.

    For each of the following examples, I have pasted the code in the Main Index Template (index.php), on the line immediately after <div class="entry">.

    The first example styles the subheading a little like the datetime / author information, but is left aligned:

    <?php if (function_exists('the_subheading')) { the_subheading('<h2><span class="capsule">', '</span></h2>'); } ?>

    If however you just wanted to display the subheading in a larger, bold, black font, you could instead use:

    <?php if (function_exists('the_subheading')) { the_subheading('<h3>', '</h3>'); } ?>

    You could have it displayed as part of the main title (immediately afterwards) by using the adjusting the title tag so it looks like:

    <legend class='title'>
                    <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"
                        title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>
                    <?php if (function_exists('the_subheading')) { the_subheading('', ''); } ?></a>
                </legend>

    I think the second option looks a little cleaner personally, but it’s up to you really ??

    Also, you will have to do something similar to entry.php in order to get it displayed on the individual posts and pages.

    Hope this helps!
