Filter hook for tile content?

Hey @ashf,

We have a few hooks (we’re still building the website/docs) but maybe not for what you want to do exactly.

Can you explain a couple of things for me, and perhaps I can guide you (or add some hooks for you):

1) Where do you want to modify content?
2) What functionality are you trying to add to the tile?

FYI, today/tomorrow, we’re adding support for basic custom fields and taxonomies.

Thanks

Hi there,

I second this request, as a S&F pro user, I wish I could customise cards more extensively.

This applie to card content, card class, and grid class.

Hi Ross,

i.e.
– Modifying basic elements such as Title or Excerpt for custom html structure.
– Inserting a custom element between(before/after) basic elements.

Reason I need “Custom element” is that I often use php function to create an element that requires (complex) conditional logic on other page/layout builder.
Like conditions depend on page language, custom field value and so on.

Hi both, so this is what we have currently in our code:

Layouts
Actions:
do_action( "custom-layouts\layout\before_render", $settings, $this->name );
do_action( "custom-layouts\layout\after_render", $settings, $this->name );

Filters
$settings = apply_filters( 'custom-layouts\layout\render_args', $settings, $this->name );
$output = apply_filters( "custom-layouts\layout\render_output", $output, $this->name, $settings );

Templates

Filters:
$settings = apply_filters( 'custom-layouts\template\render_args', $settings, $this->name );
$output = apply_filters( "custom-layouts\template\render_output", $output, $this->name, $settings );

Actions
do_action( "custom-layouts\template\before_render", $settings, $this->name );
do_action( "custom-layouts\template\after_render", $settings, $this->name );

I think the actions speak for themselves… For the filters, for layouts and templates you have 2:

render_args

Here you can update $settings argument used to generate the render

render_output

This contains the full html of what will be printed to screen, so you can manipulate this where necessary.

I think after reading both your comments, it would also be good to add the same actions/filters for individual elements?

– So we have a before/after render element action
– And we can update the args / output of each using a filters

What do you think?

(I am in the process of writing all this up on a new site we are building)

For both Layouts and Templates, you can add custom classes via the admin UI by looking in the Advanced panel.

If you want to add a class to the layout or template via code, you can use the render_args filter.

I’ve been doing some testing with these hooks, and it seems some of them were not working.

We’ve held back our update, and will do a combined release with a bunch of new features, fixes for these hooks, and new hooks for elements too.

Look out for the next update in the next few days.

Thanks

Hey all – just to let you know we’ve put the docs up for these (and fixed a few issues surrounding our hooks in 1.4.0):
