New user (Beans & wordpress)

Hello Grégoire,

Actually, you just need to move the post meta, i.e. the HTML that has Posted on date | by.

By default, Beans loads it like this:

1. Title
2. Post meta
3. Image
4. Content (with Continue reading if there's a read more link)
5. Filed under: category

To relocate the post meta from below the post's title to below the post's content, you would do this:

beans_modify_action( 'beans_post_meta', 'beans_post_body' );

But that will render it after the Continue reading link. Therefore, to relocate from the below the post's title and put it between the post's content or excerpt and the Continue reading link, you would do this:

beans_modify_action( 'beans_post_meta', 'beans_post_more_link_before_markup' );

Cheers, Tonya

Thanks for your answer ! I try it as soon as possible.

At this time, i'm looking to add a frontpage with a second loop on the right of the frontpage.

i want to make the layout like the frontpage of www.webpratique.ch (make with Dotclear). I have some difficult to understand how to use and modify wordpress theme...

Hello Grégoire,

If you want to add a frontpage, you first have to decide between using a home.php or a frontpage.php template. Both have quite different usage. Have a look here, too.

You can find some threads here, in the Beans Forum, dealing with how to create a custom frontpage. This thread could help you, I think.

In my opinion, you should probably have a basic understanding of how WordPress works before diving into Beans. Mostly because "Beans is WordPress minded". I can't recommend you enough to read the WordPress Codex. Some part of it are in french.

By the way, I speak french too. Your not the only one here to use Google translate from time to time 🙂 I'll be happy to help.

Have a nice day,

Mathieu

Salut,

Merci pour ton message. Tu as raison... j'ai bien besoin de faire mes expériences avec WP avant de bricoler mon propre thème...

Je pensais pouvoir faire comme avec Dotclear, c'est à dire chercher quel code amène quel affichage à l'écran sur quel fichier. Mais comme je ne trouve pas les fichiers en question, ma méthode ne fonctionne pas du tout. Je vais devoir faire comme tout le monde, soit apprendre.

Merci quand même !

Translate by myself, not with google:

Hi, Ok, I need to learn how WP work before making my own theme. I think I can use Wordpress like Dotclear, but the way I choose isn't OK.

A bientôt, Grég
