Just cannot thank you enough d4z_c0nf.
I just couldn’t manage to merge your codes to get it to work the way I wanted using the plugin. I did manage to add a widget area in place of the tagline using your link and borrowing from this link:
Using a text widget with the marquee tag and a tiny bit of CSS, it works okay…not as fluid or user friendly as the plugin, but good enough for now.
The full php code if interested:
/* CREATE NEW TAGLINE WIDGET AREA */
if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => 'Tagline Widget Area',
'id' => 'extra-tagline-widget-area',
'description' => 'A widget area intended to replace the tagline with a news ticker - DO NOT use with a tagline or add a widget title.',
'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<h2 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h2>'
));
}
/* DISPLAY NEW TAGLINE WIDGET CONTENTS IN THE TAGLINE */
add_filter ('tc_tagline_display', 'add_my_widget');
function add_my_widget() {
global $wp_current_filter;
?>
<?php if ( !in_array( '__navbar' , $wp_current_filter ) ) :?>
<div class="container outside">
<h2 class="site-description">
<?php bloginfo( 'description' );
if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')) {
dynamic_sidebar('Tagline Widget Area');
}
?>
</h2>
</div>
<?php else : //when hooked on __navbar ?>
<h2 class="span10 inside site-description">
<?php bloginfo( 'description' );
if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')) {
dynamic_sidebar('Tagline Widget Area');
}
?>
</h2>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php
}
Thanks again!
