adding the Featured Factory plugin into a non-widget enabled area of a theme
-
Hi,
Wondered if someone could help.I’m currently using the NewsPro theme and wanted to know how i would add the Featured Factory plugin into an area of the theme that is not available via the widgets section.
The area of the theme i want to add the plugin to is the left sidebar – but there is no option for this area via the widgets section in my admin panel.
Normally with plugins the author might tell you to add a string of code to your themes php file – however for this particular plugin it doesn’t tell me or give me an idea of what code i would use if i wanted the widget within a non-widgetized area of my theme.
i’m guessing it’s this section within the home.php file need to place the code in if i want the plugin to show – but the question is – what code do i insert?
<!-- Container --> <div id="content-wrap"> <!-- Left Column --> <div id="leftcol-wrapper"> <div id="leftcolumn"> <h2><?php echo $theme_options["titleLeftColumn"]; ?></h2> <?php query_posts('cat='.$theme_options["leftColCatID"].'&showposts='.$theme_options["leftColPostCount"]); ?> <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <div class="latestnewspost"> <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2> <p><?php print string_limit_words(get_the_excerpt(), 17); ?>...</p> </div> <?php endwhile; else : ?> <?php endif; ?> <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('GabWidget-Area-4') ) : ?> <?php endif; ?> <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/160x600ad.php'); ?> <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('GabWidget-Area-5') ) : ?> <?php endif; ?> </div> </div> <!-- /Left Column Wrapper -->
My html/php is fairly basic – if i know what code to place and within what file i’m fine – so any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance ??
