How to add prebuilt layouts to a custom theme?

  • Hi

    We are using Page Builder, which is a great plugin (!), for a custom theme for a client.

    I find in the documentation that a theme can add it’s own prebuilt layouts but can’t figure out how we can implement that in our custom theme?

    We would want to include some prebuilt layouts to simplify for the client in the future, eg. a start page layout and a standard page layout.

    I know it is possible to clone layouts but it would much nicer to keep this configuration in code rather than in the database.

    Thanks

  • First create your layout with Page Builder, and save. It will keep the data serialized in wp_postmeta table. Copy the serialized string from database.

    Look at siteorigin-panels/siteorigin-panels.php Line:979

    // Include the current home page in the clone pages.
	$home_data = get_option('siteorigin_panels_home_page', null);
	if ( !empty($home_data) ) {

		$layouts['current-home-page'] = wp_parse_args(
			array(
				'name' => __('Clone: Current Home Page', 'siteorigin-panels'),
			),
			$home_data
		);
	}

	return $layouts;

    Before return $layouts, include your code:

    $layouts['post-1'] = wp_parse_args(
				array(
					'name' => 'My Layout',

				),
				unserialize('a:3:{s:7:"widgets";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:8:"headline";s:8:"Headline";s:4:"desc";s:11:"Descriptuon";s:11:"button_text";s:6:"Button";s:11:"button_link";s:4:"Link";s:4:"info";a:4:{s:4:"grid";s:1:"0";s:4:"cell";s:1:"0";s:2:"id";s:1:"0";s:5:"class";s:15:"AB_CallToAction";}}}s:5:"grids";a:1:{i:0;a:2:{s:5:"cells";s:1:"1";s:5:"style";a:5:{s:5:"style";s:0:"";s:5:"image";s:0:"";s:5:"color";s:0:"";s:6:"height";s:0:"";s:5:"video";s:0:"";}}}s:10:"grid_cells";a:1:{i:0;a:2:{s:6:"weight";s:1:"1";s:4:"grid";s:1:"0";}}}')
			);

    Replace your copied serialized data with this sample.
