Adding new byline layout

[mcfilmmakers]

As we all know, the custom folder contains five files for bylines: byline-page.php, byline-line.php, byline-tile.php, pullout.php and pullout-page.php

I want to create a new byline php file with my own custom layout for bylines. Namely, I want to have a byline appear before the post content and one appear after the post content, with each set of bylines containing different data. lets call this file byline-duo.php

Now, how can I make this file available to the suffusion options pages (Custom types -> layouts + Other Graphical Elements -> Post and Page Bylines)?

Thanks.

I am having problems getting my changes to apply on my child theme. The following code works on the parent theme but NOT on the child theme:

theme-options-custom-types.php

Code: Select all

            'options' => array(
               'none' => 'No bylines',
               'line-top' => 'Single line below post title',
               'line-bottom' => 'Single line below post',
               'left-pullout' => 'Pullout on the left',
               'right-pullout' => 'Pullout on the right',
new line ===>         'line-both' => 'Stuff',
            ),

The above adds an option to the Custom Types => Layouts drop down menu for the Byline display. Again, it works in the parent theme, but not if I move theme-options-custom-types.php to my child theme (with parent theme maintaining the unedited version).

I tried moving theme-options.php to my child theme and editing the get_temple_directory() lines to get_stylesheet_directory() but that didn't do the trick.

Any ideas why my child theme is still looking to the parent theme's files?

The following code works on the parent theme but NOT on the child theme:

This isn't supposed to work - options pages are not extensible via child themes.

Ah well then that answers the question!

Would a logical solution then be for me to build a plugin to work with the theme? If so, what should I hook into?

I'm guessing you should hook into either

Code: Select all

suffusion_after_begin_post

or

Code: Select all

suffusion_print_line_byline_top

or

Code: Select all

suffusion_print_line_byline

Not quite sure though, have you solved it?
