Integrating comic easel plugin

I have .. and i’m the dev of Comic Easel, can help you out with it if you like.

Hi Frumph,

I’d like to integrate Comic Easel into Customizr, too. You can see what I have so far at johnargentcomic.com. I’m using a child theme. I’d like to put Comic Easel on the front page right below the header/menu, and above the links to the other pages.

I’ve read through the instructions on your site but I’m afraid I’m rather lost when trying to figure out what to do for this particular theme . . .

Thanks!

Sorry, I was on vacation for the past week.

Yeah, I’m looking at switching themes to customizr. I just have a quick temporary site set up after my original got hacked and I had to reinstall wordpress.

The main questions I have are:

– Can I create the site, so that my comic doesn’t appear on the homepage, and only on a page designated for it?

– Can I have the blog separate from the comic on a different page? (right now it shows up right underneath the comic, and I hate that. Is it changeable?)

Thanks!

And as for me, I’m just trying to get the comic to display on the main page below the header, with the comic blog below the comic. I managed to place it in the right spot but it looks all wonky and made wonky stuff appear all over the page.

Where did you end up inserting the code? And what code did you insert for the comic to display on the main page?

30seven, I tried to follow this guide: https://comiceasel.com/2014/05/14/editing-a-theme-to-support-comic-easel/

I inserted the code into index.php. I inserted it right below <div id=”main-wrapper”.

So it looks something like this:

<?php do_action( '__before_main_wrapper' ); ##hook of the header with get_header ?>
<div id="main-wrapper" class="<?php echo apply_filters( 'tc_main_wrapper_classes' , 'container' ) ?>">
<?php do_action('comic-area'); ?>
    <?php do_action('comic-blog-area'); ?>

    <?php do_action( '__before_main_container' ); ##hook of the featured page (priority 10) and breadcrumb (priority 20)...and whatever you need! ?>

The problem is that the comic and blog don’t display right. The comic isn’t centered with the nav bar, and the as soon as the code is introduced all sorts of other problems appear. The button below the featured page links says the title of featured page rather than “Read More,” and “>Read more ?” appears NEXT to the button. Also, the title of each featured page appears over its picture.

Let me know if this happens to you too when you add the code.

I was playing with it, trying to add the code last night to the index.php file, and my comic or nothing showed up on the main page. I switched back to my previous placeholder theme for the time being, and now I can’t get the comic to show up on the index page of that one either.

The site I’m trying to get to work is https://www.dadvsnature.com

@30seven did you disable the comic from appearing on the homepage in the comic -> config settings? ..that would stop it from displaying..

@atardiff you have some broken html there that is causing that shift to the left which looks like it’s some plugin you ahve that’s trying to change the title=”” information inside of the a href that’s already there

Hi Frumph, Customizr adds some filters to the title.
https://github.com/Nikeo/customizr/blob/master/inc/parts/class-content-headings.php#L78-82

no, title=”” in the <a href= on that site he linked has something filtering it

Yeah, is about Customizr, as you can see it add some filters on the title and that’s the result
">Comments(0) this is part of the comment bubble

I would suggest to add the following code in the customizr child-theme functions.php:

add_filter('tc_display_link_for_post_titles', 'comic_post_title');
add_filter( 'tc_comments_in_title', 'comic_post_title' );
add_filter( 'tc_edit_in_title', 'comic_post_title' );

function comic_post_title( $bool ){
    if ( get_post_type() == 'comic' )
      return false;
  return $bool;
}

Or something of the sort, btw I haven’t tested this code, so be aware ??

Thanks d4z_c0nf, that centered it!

Any way now to fix the text and carrots appearing where they shouldn’t, as I described above?

@frumph, I did not disable the comic from showing up on the front page. That box is unchecked. I’m back to my default theme, and it’s still acting up.
