Adding Custom Section to Articles using Hooks
WordPress Hooks
For more information about hooks click here.
In addition to adding content with KB Articles, you can customize sections of every article:
- Article header
- Article left and right sidebar
- Article footer
Then add any of the following sections to your articles:
- Common links to your support form
- Sign up form for email subscriptions
- Bookmarks
- Article status, such as “new” or “beta”
- Share buttons
- Content version numbers
- Common footer
- And much more
You have two ways to accomplish custom sections:
- Use hooks (see below)
- Use custom templates (see Creating Templates using Child Theme )
Please note:
These instructions are for programmers only. We do not provide custom development support.
PHP Hooks and CSS ID diagram
Hooks in the image below are grouped by color:
Red Text – CSS ID’s to target with your Custom CSS.
Blue Text – Hook names to add custom Code.
Custom Code example
Here is an example of code to add to your Child theme’s function.php file. This code will output text and a list item. From here you can create any kind of section, including contact forms, subscription form, links and layouts. You can also specify an optional $args argument in the function header to receive current KB ID, configuration values and the current post.
PHP
function custom_header_html() { ?>
<h2>Hello World</h2>
<p>This is some test text for demonstration purposes</p>
<ul>
<li>List Item 1</li>
<li>List Item 2</li>
</ul> <?php
}
add_action('eckb-article-header', 'custom_header_html', 10, 4);
