Hook option suggestion

    Firstly thanks for creating this. I’m using this to add a slider to a category in WooCommerce.

    The only issue is the full screen is filling in until the side bar. Could you add an option to change the hook in terms of where this appears on the page? A dropdown with the different hooks would be a great addition, or a place in the shortcode where you can specify the hook, if it must differ from the default.

    Thanks.

    Hi WPSeeker,

    Thanks for your suggestion, but I don’t think I can adapt the plugin for your needs. I think you might be able to accomplish this with some custom PHP in your functions.php file, adding the shortcode in the hook/location you want. But it’s not really designed for that, and you might have to just write your own HTML instead of using the shortcode.

    As mentioned in the description, it’s designed for use on pages/posts set to “full width content” and not for pages/posts with sidebars. There are a lot of styling compatibility issues to deal with if you’re trying to use sidebars with this plugin.

    This plugin doesn’t hook into anything. Like most shortcodes, the output is generated in the main content section where you place the shortcode.

    So, specifying a hook in the shortcode itself wouldn’t work because of the order in which things are processed. If you try to hook into something that’s already fired, it wouldn’t do anything. It’s possible that it could work for hooks that fire after the main content is displayed (because that’s where the shortcode would be processed), but I don’t think it’s a good development practice to do that. It would also be pretty limiting to only have it work in a couple of places at the bottom of the page.

    I also don’t think it would solve your problem, because I assume you want the slider to appear before the main content and sidebar?
