Hey Wyn,
Beans hook are quite easy to use once you understand how it works. I suggest you take a look at this reply which explains how the hooks work (extracted from Beans Docs).
So if you want to add an image in your primary sidebar before the first widget only on your blog home, inspect the page sidebar and look at the markup ids, you will see that there is a beans_sidebar_primary markup-id. Based on the explanation about the hooks the reply mentioned above, you would use the beans_sidebar_primary_prepend_markup as follow:
add_action( 'beans_sidebar_primary_prepend_markup', 'example_home_sidebar_image' );
function example_home_sidebar_image() {
if ( is_home() ) {
?><img src="...etc..." /><?php
}
}This apply to any markup which has a markup id on the page which makes it incredibly flexible.
Happy coding,
Hi Thierry,
Okay, just to clarify that I do understand this, the "hook" specifies where the new_function code gets "done" -- in other words, basically one uses these action hooks as follows:
add_action ( where = hook , doing-what = a_new_function ) ;
And then one defines
function a_new_function ( ) { what the function does }
Yes?
100% correct 😉
