workflow advice. - lnickel - 2013-08-28
Hi folks.
I have a site I'm currently working on that requires a lot of tables (data etc.) on a particular page.
I set the page up with 4 tabbed content sections for the sake of usability. Each tab loads in a hidden div . This works nicely, however there is a lot of information in each section. This makes for a page with a lot of code in the editor. EEK
I was wondering if the function returnPageContent could be used in a template file to make it more modular so I don't have to do a boat load of div's etc on the page. Can they be ported in?
PHP Code:
<?php returnPageContent(); ?>So for example. In a particular template file I could create the outer sections to hold each tabbed content. Where the arguments could be separate pages.
PHP Code:
<div id="section"><?php returnPageContent('fund-information'); ?></div>
<div id="section"><?php returnPageContent('fund-strategy); ?></div>
<div id="section"><?php returnPageContent('fund-risk'); ?></div>
Thanks in advance. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I think this can be done. I'll give it a go.

Yes or use a customfields or specialpages plugin.

It should be getPageContent
RE: workflow advice. - lnickel - 2013-08-29
Thank you Carlos!
RE: workflow advice. - shawn_a - 2013-08-29
Why not the theme function
get_page_content ?
Is it because it calls the filters and actions over and over ?
Should we add a flag to it, since it would be the preffered function to use in a template.
RE: workflow advice. - Carlos - 2013-08-29
lnickel wanted to insert content from other pages, like wysiwyg blocks. The typical use for getPageContent.
RE: workflow advice. - shawn_a - 2013-08-29
oh yeah, slugs doh. It seems to be an often used design. Maybe we need a theme function for get_slug_content or something. Probably not, i guess that is more of a programing design.
RE: workflow advice. - Carlos - 2013-08-29
...or maybe get_page_content('slug')
(if no parameter, use current page slug.)
