Shopp custom category widgets WordPress

Ciro Urdaneta comments:

No, it doesn't work. Only shows additional sidebars for post and pages not for Shopp virtual pages

Sabby Sam comments:

I guess this would help you

<?php is_page($page); ?>

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_page

is_page();
// When any single Page is being displayed.

is_page(42);
// When Page 42 (ID) is being displayed.

is_page('Contact');
// When the Page with a post_title of "Contact" is being displayed.

is_page('about-me');
// When the Page with a post_name (slug) of "about-me" is being displayed.

is_page(array(42,'about-me','Contact'));
// Returns true when the Pages displayed is either post ID 42, or post_name "about-me", or post_title "Contact". Note: the array ability was added at Version 2.5.

Do the following steps
1. Register a new sidebar widget using function.php
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => __( 'Shopp' ),
'id' => 'right-sidebar',
'description' => __( 'Widgets in this area will be shown on the right-hand side.' ),
'before_title' => '<h1>',
'after_title' => '</h1>'
));
2. use this in your sidebar
<?php dynamic_sidebar('Shopp'); ?>

3. if above works perfect then add the sidebar login where you want to display
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_page

It should work. If still it doesn't work then you need to tell us :
Are you using any themes which are created in other theme folder.
Or
please provide us website url and credential details if you can.
Hope this will be easiest way to help you.

Hi Sabby Sam
No, it doesn't work. Also the right way is this
<?php dynamic_sidebar('is_shopp_page()'); ?>
And that way the sidebar will show on all the Shopp catalog pages
I need different widgets in different Shopp categories
Regards
Ciro

So I think this will help you

is_page_template()
Is a Page Template being used?
is_page_template( 'about.php' )
Is Page Template 'about' being used? Note that unlike with other conditionals, if you want to specify a particular Page Template, you need to use the filename, such as about.php or my_page_template.php.
A Category Page
is_category()
When any Category archive page is being displayed.
is_category( '9' )
When the archive page for Category 9 is being displayed.
is_category( 'Stinky Cheeses' )
When the archive page for the Category with Name "Stinky Cheeses" is being displayed.
is_category( 'blue-cheese' )
When the archive page for the Category with Category Slug "blue-cheese" is being displayed.
is_category( array( 9, 'blue-cheese', 'Stinky Cheeses' ) )
Returns true when the category of posts being displayed is either term_ID 9, or slug "blue-cheese", or name "Stinky Cheeses".
in_category( '5' )
Returns true if the current post is in the specified category id. read more
in_category( array( 1,2,3 ) )
Returns true if the current post is in either category 1, 2, or 3.
! in_category( array( 4,5,6 ) )
Returns true if the current post is NOT in either category 4, 5, or 6. Note the ! at the beginning.
Note: Be sure to check your spelling when testing, "is" and "in" are a big difference.

Try this

$get_the_cat=$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];

/* you can view what you are getting in variable $get_the_cat
/* print_r($get_the_cat);
$result_cat=explode("/",$get_the_cat);
/* check where array index you are getting category
/* echo $result_cat[0]; check till $result_cat[3];

Try this code
if($result_cat[2]=="Sillas") { /* plz check the array index eg $result_cat[1] it will check is the current page is Sillas category
?>

<div id="sidebar">

<div class="widget">

<?php dynamic_sidebar('Sillas'); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php

}
?>
/* you can do for other category as well.


I hope this will help you. This time I am 100% sure.

Hi Sabby Sam

I tried using your code in sidebar.php but it doesn't work. Should be this one?
?php

$get_the_cat=$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
$result_cat=explode("/",$get_the_cat);

if($result_cat[2]=="Sillas") {

?>

<div id="sidebar">
<div class="widget">
<?php dynamic_sidebar('Sillas'); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php } ?>


You can check this answer for another Shopp question, maybe could help

Sabby Sam comments:

Hi
Did you checked what is the value of result_cat[2]
First check what value you are getting
and also try with this result_cat[1].

This should 100% work.

Ciro Urdaneta comments:

No it doesn't work, returns an empty value
Shopp categories are not related with WordPress categories. You can check it at the page footer, this is the code I added
<p>I should see the cat here <strong><?php
$get_the_cat=$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
print_r($get_the_cat);
?>
</strong></p>

Visit here
http://dkm.iws.com.ve/sillas/

it returns some values

explode it
using explode funtion
$result_cat=explode("/",$get_the_cat);
print_r($result_cat);

Sabby Sam comments:

There is nothing related with wordpress here.

It simply calculate is this page is particular category using your address bar ( URL)

We are checking if this page is sillas.

We get the full url of the current page and extract with the "/ ", and check in array.

if you get the value sillas then you can use conditional tag.

Lets get have live chat.
