Custom page templates and social sharing buttons

[display-wizard]

Hi,

I’ve noticed on Flexform you can only set the page template the ‘Default Template’ and I can’t see how to add custom ones.

Is this possible?

The reason I want to know is because I want to add the Social Sharing Links to a few pages so I need to be able to set a different page template.

The code I’m using is:

<div class="share-links clearfix">
 <div class="share-text"><?php _e("Share:", "swiftframework"); ?></div>
 <div class="share-buttons">
 <span class='st_facebook_hcount' displayText='Facebook'></span>
 <span class='st_twitter_hcount' displayText='Tweet'></span>
 <span class='st_googleplus_hcount' displayText='Google +'></span>
 <span class='st_linkedin_hcount' displayText='LinkedIn'></span>
 <span class='st_pinterest_hcount' displayText='Pinterest'></span>
 </div>
 <a class="permalink item-link" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><i class="icon-link"></i></a>
 <a class="email-link item-link" href="mailto:?subject=<?php the_title(); ?>&body=<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Share by Email"><i class="icon-envelope-alt"></i></a>						
 </div>

However when I use this all I get is the link and email options, any idea?

Thanks, Pete

Hi,
First copy page.php and rename page-new.php and refer this article to create a page template http://codex.wordpress.org/Page_Templates . After this you can edit page-new.php as you want and this can be used to desired pages .

Thanks 🙂

Hi Mohammad,

Thanks, that sorted it. Forgot to add this to the top of the file:

<?php
/*
Template Name: My Custom Page
*/

What about my question about the social share links?

Thanks, Pete

I’ve also added the template file.

Thanks. Pete

Sorry I haven’t uploaded the file as it won’t let me but I’m trying to add it after line 116.

Code looks like this:

<!-- OPEN page -->
 <?php if (($sidebar_config == "left-sidebar") || ($sidebar_config == "right-sidebar")) { ?>
 <div <?php post_class('clearfix span8'); ?> id="<?php the_ID(); ?>">
 <?php } else if ($sidebar_config == "both-sidebars") { ?>
 <div <?php post_class('clearfix row'); ?> id="<?php the_ID(); ?>">
 <?php } else { ?>
 <div <?php post_class('clearfix'); ?> id="<?php the_ID(); ?>">
 <?php } ?>
	
         <?php if ($sidebar_config == "both-sidebars") { ?>
			
	     <div class="page-content span6">
	         <?php the_content(); ?>
	     </div>
				
	     <aside class="sidebar left-sidebar span3">
	         <?php dynamic_sidebar($left_sidebar); ?>
	     </aside>
		
	 <?php } else { ?>
		
	 <div class="page-content clearfix">
	      <?php the_content(); ?>			
	      <div class="link-pages"><?php wp_link_pages(); ?></div>
	 </div>
        
	 <div class="share-links clearfix">
	     <div class="share-text"><?php _e("Share:", "swiftframework"); ?></div>
	     <div class="share-buttons">
                 <span class='st_facebook_hcount' displayText='Facebook'></span>
		 <span class='st_twitter_hcount' displayText='Tweet'></span>
		 <span class='st_googleplus_hcount' displayText='Google +'></span>
		 <span class='st_linkedin_hcount' displayText='LinkedIn'></span>
		 <span class='st_pinterest_hcount' displayText='Pinterest'></span>
	     </div>
	     <a class="permalink item-link" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><i class="icon-link"></i></a>    
             <a class="email-link item-link" href="mailto:?subject=<?php the_title(); ?>&body=<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Share by Email"><i class="icon-envelope-alt"></i></a>						
	 </div>
        
        <?php if ( comments_open() ) { ?>
		<div id="comment-area">
			<?php comments_template('', true); ?>
		</div>
	<?php } ?>
		
	<?php } ?>	
	
<!-- CLOSE page -->

Hi,
You can add code after this statement
<div class="link-pages"><?php wp_link_pages(); ?></div>
Thanks

Hi Mohammad,

Still don’t get any social share buttons showing up.

I’ve added this just after the code you mentioned above:

<div class="share-links clearfix">
     <div class="share-text"><?php _e("Share:", "swiftframework"); ?></div>
     <div class="share-buttons">
	<span class='st_facebook_hcount' displayText='Facebook'></span>
	<span class='st_twitter_hcount' displayText='Tweet'></span>
	<span class='st_googleplus_hcount' displayText='Google +'></span>
	<span class='st_linkedin_hcount' displayText='LinkedIn'></span>
	<span class='st_pinterest_hcount' displayText='Pinterest'></span>
     </div>
     <a class="permalink item-link" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><i class="icon-link"></i></a>
     <a class="email-link item-link" href="mailto:?subject=<?php the_title(); ?>&body=<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Share by Email"><i class="icon-envelope-alt"></i></a>						
</div>

Hi Mohammad,

No, the code above is that standard Flexform code. Basically I’m trying to call the same social icons that are used on the blog posts.

Here’s a page where they are meant to be active: http://www.displaywizard.co.uk/display-hub/expert-guide/10-great-reasons-to-exhibit-at-a-trade-show/

Hi,
