It interferes with a more advanced plugin that is similar but has more options. How do I disable or remove that php code from the theme? Sorry I wasn't specific enough.

I'll mark this thread for Kriesi though (feature request). 2) Open up choices/js/avia.js and replace following line at the very top: <pre><code>jQuery(document).ready(function(){</code></pre> with: <pre><code>jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery("a[href^='http:'],a[href^='https:']").filter(function() { return this.hostname && this.hostname !== location.hostname; }).attr('target', '_blank');</code></pre> This function will compare the link url with your url and if the link points to an external domain it will open a new tab/window.

I used those numbers so there would be spacing between the columns.

Otherwise, change the second snippet to the following in the same file: <pre><code><?php echo "<div class='flex_column one_fourth first'>"; $args = array('outside'=>'ul', 'inside'=>'li', 'append' => ''); avia_social_media_icons($args); get_search_form(); echo "</div>"; ?></code></pre> This may still require a bit of css fine tuning which you can add into the Quick CSS in the Styling tab of the theme options.

What do I need to do to add the search also? I can't see wasting a column with just social icons. Is there a way to either add this into an existing column or actually create a row above the footer columns? Do I just need to change the class to be a full 100% wide row? Thanks, Brent Ismael on "Need social media icons in footer column 1 in Choices" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/need-social-media-icons-in-footer-column-1-in-choices#post-74118 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 07:57:43 +0000 Ismael 74118@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hi, Open footer.php and find this code, <pre><code><?php //create the footer columns by iterating $columns = avia_get_option('footer_columns'); $firstCol = 'first'; switch($columns) { case 1: $class = ''; break; case 2: $class = 'one_half'; break; case 3: $class = 'one_third'; break; case 4: $class = 'one_fourth'; break; case 5: $class = 'one_fifth'; break; } //display the footer widget that was defined at appearenace->widgets in the wordpress backend //if no widget is defined display a dummy widget, located at the bottom of includes/register-widget-area.php for ($i = 1; $i <= $columns; $i++) { echo "<div class='flex_column $class $firstCol'>"; if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Footer - column'.$i) ) : else : avia_dummy_widget($i); endif; echo "</div>"; $firstCol = ""; } ?></code></pre> Assuming you want 4 columns in your footer. In this case you need to set it only to 3 columns because we are going to add another one. Below the snippet, add this code <pre><code><?php echo "<div class='flex_column one_fourth first'>"; $args = array('outside'=>'ul', 'inside'=>'li', 'append' => ''); avia_social_media_icons($args); echo "</div>"; ?></code></pre> We use class one_fourth because we are going to have 4 columns. You can change that to one_half, one_third and one_fifth.

I would like to actually place them in one of the columns. Any idea on how to do this? Too bad their is not a widget to just add anywhere we would like. Can this be done? That would be great!!

Try to include this on your child theme functions.php <code>global $avia_config; $avia_config['use_child_theme_functions_only'] = false;</code> The original functions.php on the theme will be use plus the added functions.php on the child theme if you are planning to add some. I suggest you put all of the added functionality on the new functions.php in your child theme folder. They will not be overwritten when you upgrade the theme. Just to make sure, create a backup for your theme files and database before updating.

I don't think you followed what I said. Does someone there fully understand my question? Would you please ask Kriesi? I have tried that plus more but when I create a child theme the CHOICES theme won't read my "function.php" file. He'll understand. Thank you to someone. Brent Nick on "Modifications to php files and creating a new Child Theme for Choices" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/modifications-to-php-files-and-creating-a-new-child-theme-for-choices#post-73709 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:46:20 +0000 Nick 73709@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hi, I don't know about that plugin, but all you need to do is make a directory next to your theme's directory and inside have 1 css with a few lines of code: <pre><code>/* Theme Name: Twenty Eleven Child Description: Child theme for the Twenty Eleven theme Author: Your name here Template: twentyeleven */ @import url("../twentyeleven/style.css");</code></pre> Just make sure that the Template is the correct name of the parent theme as written in it's css file. That's it. Now if you want to replace something from the parent theme, you have to copy that file from the parent and drop it into the child, and Wordpress will always first look for every file in the Child folder, and if its not available there, then it will look in the Parent Folder. So if you want to customize a template that exists in the parent theme, just make a copy , and place it in the child theme in the same sub directory relative to the root as it is located in the original.

I have modified more than just css files for my choices theme. I have added functions and widgets plus I have modified several of the php files and some .js files also. I am now ready to create a child theme but I need to make sure that ALL of my additions and changes don't get overwritten with future updates. My questions are: 1) If I copy ALL of the files to my child theme will they override the parent choice's theme AND not just the css files? (other files like functions.php, assorted js files and other modifications to the framework) 2) Will the "One-Click Child Theme" plugin do all of this for me or just the .css files? 3) Do I need to make any modifications to php files before I do this? I appreciate your prompt reply!
