Hi,

I followed up the instruction above and I managed to change the blog-view template for a specific category... my problem is that the change is then reflected on the single post template. To be more specific the layout for my blog-view template is set in two columns, and this is fine, then when I click to open one of the post also the layout of the post is in two column and therefore my content occupy only half of the space available on screen.

I would like to custom only the post-view for all the post that belongs to a specific category without affecting the blog layout. Is this possible?

I did also try to create from within Themler a new post-template instead of a new Custom-Template, but by doing this I get php error whenever I try to open a post. I get the following error:

include (my_path) failed to open the stream: No such file or directory on (my-path) on line 74.
include(): Failed opening 'my-path....single-post-news.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php7.0') in /my-path/wp-includes/template-loader.php on line 74

Anybody out there that can help?

Thanks a lot
Samuele

You can also use the plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/my-custom-functions/
Works great if your worried about loosing your custom functions.

Hi,

You can add custom functions to this file in directly Themler >> Home tab >> Settings >> CMS code. This will help to keep the custom code.

Thank you,
Olivia

Update on my previous comment, you can work on the theme and publish it without it affecting your functions-additional.php HOWEVER if you upgrade your theme all custom functions that you have written will be overwritten so make sure you have a backup of all your custom functions before you update to a new themler version.

Hello Josh,
thank you for suggestion. It's pretty useful and I'll add it to our wish list

In regards to the original post there is under appearance --> editor a php file called functions-additional.php that you can write custom functions into and they will not be overwritten when you update your theme, this is how I just many of the functions for woocommerce.

No. it is something like this:

• You have one category "Cars"
• You have another category "Bicycles".
• This snippet gives you chance to make custom "Post detailed view" templates and have separate styled templates for Cars and Bicycles.

Ok, I need to be able to add columns, or blocks in my theme that display posts in a chosen category. Am I to understand this is the code for that? Sorry, I am trying to understand, and no offense but I see a LOT of broken English here so it makes it very hard for me to understand. So is this what I am looking for?

Just want to expand code from topic opening, to include all nested subcategories:

/** Get Post Category and sub category */
function post_is_in_descendant_category( $cats, $_post = null )
{
    foreach ( (array) $cats as $cat ) {
        // get_term_children() accepts integer ID only
        $descendants = get_term_children( (int) $cat, 'category');
        if ( $descendants && in_category( $descendants, $_post ) )
            return true;
    }
    return false;
}

/** Conditional Templates for Single posts */
function template_change( $template ){

    if( is_single() && (post_is_in_descendant_category('12')) || in_category('12') ){
        $templates = array("single-veg.php");
    }

   elseif( is_single() && (post_is_in_descendant_category('17')) || in_category('17') ){
        $templates = array("single-fruit.php");

    } elseif( is_single() && in_category('articles') ){
        $templates = array("single-articles.php");

    }
    $template = locate_template( $templates );
    return $template;
}

add_filter( 'single_template', 'template_change' ); //'template_include'/'single_template'

CMS Code control is used much now on my themes. Very, very nice addition to Themler.
It is robust also. You type, paste wrong code it throws error, reload page and it is gone. Just dont be quick to click Save before Themler analyzed PHP code, wait few seconds.

And I found a way how to add image animations and effects to images, even those on archive/blog lists. All thanks to fact Hover Box control "Hyperlink" parse PHP code right. Good for styling gallery archives. So it is just to paste:

<?php get_permalink($blog_page_id); ?> 

and it is done. Rest is simply to imagination.

Hi Stagger, this is great news! I will check it right away :)

CMS Code control now works as HTML/Text controls, with today update. Thanks, what a relief.

@ shaulhadarm try it now. Piece of cake to insert ACF fields display now. And results are visible directly in Themler edit screen.

No, it cant be added even in rows and columns if they are in Archive loops. Very dissapointed by this control. But what to do, continue to work manually in PHP files.

This control needs to be where Post category, Post image, Post content, etc...are. Same is for Post/Page templates.

What is interresting HTML and Text controls (blocks) can be added there. So it is maybe just some miss by developers.

This "CMS Code" control is now available.

But seems wont be used for anything useful. Cannot add control inside Archive/Taxonomy/Blog loop or inside Page/Post template.
Just under whole content, ends under comment list.

Yeah, me too, i already have a project that needs lots of custom fields.....

I can barely wait this option. Right now I need it for at least 3 different things, on one single website.

...point for you!

You're welcome.

This control will be available in one of the future Themler updates.
