Hey everyone, I'm just starting to understand Beans as a theme and a framework.
I would love to know how to recreate the elements that are on the Totem Typography page and also, how do I create footer widgets (like the ones we see on this site)?
Thanks in advance.

For the widget, you could register your own widget then use a Beans hook. This is what I did to put my own widget on the right side of the footer:
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => 'Footer Widget (right)',
'id' => 'rn-footer-right',
'before_widget' => '<div class="rn-footer-right">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<h3>',
'after_title' => '</h3>',
)
);
add_filter( 'beans_footer_credit_right_text_output', 'rn_footer_right' );
function rn_footer_right() {
if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar("Footer Widget (right)") ) :
endif;
}Beans apparently has its own way of doing widgets but I've honestly not experimented with it yet.
Hello @mikecottam,
This is how I have created a footer widget in my theme, using Beans API. First, I have registered my widget by adding these lines in functions.php.
//* Add Bottom widgets.
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'mythemeprefix_widget_area' );
function mythemeprefix_widget_area() {
beans_register_widget_area( array(
'name' => 'Bottom',
'id' => 'bottom',
'description' => 'Widgets in this area will be shown in the bottom section as a grid.',
'beans_type' => 'grid'
) );
}
Then, I have "hooked" this widget in the footer of my website using the beans_footer markup.
//* Display Bottom Widgets Area.
add_action( 'beans_footer_prepend_markup', 'mythemeprefix_widget_section', 15 );
function mythemeprefix_widget_section () {
// Stop here if no widget
if( !beans_is_active_widget_area( 'bottom' ) )
return;
?>
<div class="tm-prefooter uk-block">
<div class="uk-container uk-container-center">
<?php echo beans_widget_area( 'bottom' ); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php
}
Et voilà !
Hope it helps.
