Style / Edit post display template in Themler per category basis

Worth noting, Themler will delete all your code inside theme functions.php on each Save inside Themler.
Search on Google how to put another functions.php inside a plugin. It is very easy. And work on it functions.php.

Hello Stagger Lee,
natively WP does not support different styles for different categories, so we suppose that it worth to implement this feature as custom control or via custom code. It is in our plans to add special field under Theme Settings that allows enter custom code for CMS. So it would be possible to add custom PHP code for WP.

Aileen

Thanks. Give us option to put PHP code inside HTML block, Text block.

I want the php in html as well! :)

Hello Stagger Lee,
I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, there is elaboration for my previous post regarding WP categories: In fact WP does not support custom templates for single posts in certain category (but not "different styles for different categories" as I wrote before).

As it would be possible to implement it in theme via custom PHP code the ability to add PHP under Theme Settings will be helpful.

Regards,
Aileen

OK Aileen, thanks.

PHP code inside HTML blocks is something different. Cannot open more topics, only me write here at forum. Tend to be boring for other Users.

PHP code inside HTML blocks for, some examples:

• Output of custom fields.
• Putting shortcodes in theme via PHP.
• I use my own PHP snippets to check if post has gallery, video, audio, oembed, attachments, etc. According to this I display small SVG icon in Blog list.

• We could put call for a template file to reduce need for widgets. Littole special customization, but...See my theme here:
  http://answers.billiondigital.com/questions/10934/one-feature-that-would-make-themler-killer

• We could output code of plugins where we want. Directly in template file to eliminate need for inserting shortcodes in editor. (one example review/Rating/voting stars in Blog and detailed view, or code for content views code.

It is basically only a fraction of things we could make if we could put PHP code in HTML blocks (Insert option).

Of course with some basic PHP validation check to prevent Themler show blank page and fatal errors. There is already validation inside Theme settings option, just reuse it,

Hi,

Our developers discussed your request and decided to add new control similar to existing HTML control, which allows to execute custom php.
The final version of this control might look a little differently but here is it:

Thank you,
Olivia

Exactly this, thank you,

Wow Olivia, this is amazing, this means that like stagger lee wrote, we could use acf hooks straight inside themler!!!!

Thank you so much for that!!

You're welcome.

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

...point for you!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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'

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?
