WordPress: Displaying whole template, not just the_content - wordpress-theming

I've got a single page website with a front-page.php that shall include all my custom templates (each one is a static page).
<?php get_header();
$args = array(
'sort_order' => 'ASC',
'sort_column' => 'menu_order',
'post_type' => 'page',
'post_status' => 'publish'
);
$pages = get_pages($args);
foreach ($pages as $page_data) {
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $page_data->post_content);
?>
<?php echo "$content" ?>
<?php
}
get_footer();
?>
With "the_content" it references only the content of my text in the backend, but not all my tags surrounding my the_content tag in the template itself, for example:
<?
/*
Template Name: Features
*/
the_post()
?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<section>
<? the_content() ?>
</section>
<?php endif; ?>
In this case, the surrounding tags section aren't selected and don't appear in the markup.
What do I have to change in my front-page.php to select the whole template, not only its template?
Thanks so much in advance!

You could put the loop part of each page template in a separate template part and call the parts dynamically on your front page with get_template_part:
foreach ( $pages as $page_data ) {
$template = get_post_meta( $page_data->ID, '_wp_page_template', true ); // get page template path
$template = substr( $template, 0, -4 ); // chop off .php from the string
get_template_part( 'loop', $template );
}
For a template 'Features' (filename features.php) it would look for loop-features.php, etc. Fallback will be loop.php.

How to create permalink URL for API in WordPress?

I use WordPress and list data from my API:
$url = "http://example.com/all-list";
$response = wp_remote_get( $url );
$data_body = json_decode( wp_remote_retrieve_body( $response ), true );
<?php foreach ( $data_body as $real_data ): ?>
<h1><?php echo $real_data["title"]; ?></h1>
<?php end foreach; ?>
But in I don't know how to give url.
Example: I'd like to give <a href="/real-data?id=<?php $real_data['id'] ?>"> then return new view template. It like get_permalink(); to view single page post.
How could I do this in WordPress?
Check this examples below.
// This would output '/client/?s=word&foo=bar'
echo esc_url( add_query_arg( 'foo', 'bar' ) );
// This would output '/client/?s=word&foo=bar&baz=tiny'
$arr_params = array( 'foo' => 'bar', 'baz' => 'tiny' );
echo esc_url( add_query_arg( $arr_params ) );

Yii2: How to validate a form with multiple instances of the same model

In my form I update more start and end dates from the same model at once. See the simplified form:
<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin(); ?>
<?php foreach($dates as $i=>$date): ?>
<?= $form->field($date,"[$i]start"); ?>
<?= $form->field($date,"[$i]end"); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</table>
<?= Html::submitButton('Save'); ?>
<?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>
In the model I need to control, if the end date is after the start date:
public function rules() {
return [
[['end'], 'compare', 'compareAttribute' => 'start', 'operator' => '>', 'message' => '{attribute} have to be after {compareValue}.‌'],
];
}
I tried to change selectors similarly as described in: Yii2: Validation in form with two instances of same model, but I was not successful. I suppose I need to change the 'compareAttribute' from 'mymodel-start' to 'mymodel-0-start' in the validation JS:
{yii.validation.compare(value, messages, {"operator":">","type":"string","compareAttribute":"mymodel-start","skipOnEmpty":1,"message":"End have to be after start.‌"});}
So, I look for something like:
$form->field($date,"[$i]end", [
'selectors' => [
'compareAttribute' => 'mymodel-'.$i.'-start'
]
])
Solution
The solution is based on the answer of lucas.
In the model I override the formName() method, so for every date I have a unique form name (based on ID for the existing dates and based on random number for new dates):
use ReflectionClass;
...
public $randomNumber;
public function formName()
{
$this->randomNumber = $this->randomNumber ? $this->randomNumber : rand();
$number = $this->id ? $this->id : '0' . $this->randomNumber;
$reflector = new ReflectionClass($this);
return $reflector->getShortName() . '-' . $number;
}
The form then looks like this:
<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin(); ?>
<?php foreach($dates as $date): ?>
<?= $form->field($date,"start"); ?>
<?= $form->field($date,"end"); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</table>
<?= Html::submitButton('Save'); ?>
<?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>
Override the formName() method in your model class to make it unique. If you don't want to change your model class, create a subclass of it for the purpose of working for this controller action. After doing this, the html ID and name fields will automatically be unique.

Different sidebars for different pages on Wordpress

I'm trying to design a theme on WordPress (version 3.3.2) but I am having a few problems in having the sidebar display a different set of widgets on certain pages.
I have tried several online tutorials and this one in particular http://www.rvoodoo.com/projects/wordpress/wordpress-tip-different-sidebars-on-different-pages/ but unfortunately there is no change in the sidebar when I move to a different page
I registered two sidebars on my functions.php as shown below, one which I would consider as main, and the other as a custom sidebar, and I also added different widgets to these sidebars.
<?php register_sidebar( //register sidebar
array(
'name' => 'Right-side',
'before_widget' => '<div class="rightwidget">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',
'after_title' => '</h3>',
));
register_sidebar( //register second sidebar
array(
'name' => 'Second-right',
'before_widget' => '<div class="rightwidget">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',
'after_title' => '</h3>',
));
?>
Following that, I created the files sidebar.php and sidebar-second.php to be able to call them.
sidebar.php
<div id="sidebar">
<?php if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Right-side')) : ?>
<h3 class="widget-title">No widget added</h3>
<p> Please add some widgets</p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!--ends sidebar-->
sidebar-second.php
<div id="sidebar">
<?php if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Second-right')) : ?>
<h3 class="widget-title">No widget added</h3>
<p> Please add some widgets</p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!--ends sidebar-->
And then I added replace my <?php get_sidebar() ; ?> statement with following conditional
<?php if( is_page('225') ) : ?>
<?php dynamic_sidebar('second'); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php get_sidebar() ; ?>
<?php endif ; ?>
However only the widgets added to the sidebar.php are displayed on every page. Any help on how I could change this, or pointers on what I could be doing wrong. Thanks.
I looks like you are using <?php dynamic_sidebar('second'); ?> where you should be using <?php get-sidebar('second'); ?>
What get_sidebar('foo') does is look for a file named 'sidebar-foo.php' in the root directory of your theme and includes it. dynamic_sidebar('bar'), on the other hand, looks for a sidebar registered with:
<?php register_sidebar( array( 'name' => 'bar' ... ) ) ?>
Hope this helps!
Why don't you use the Custom Sidebar Plugin?
It's really easy to use and does not need any coding
You have two sidebars. when you want to use the sidebar-second file on a particular page, instead of calling
<?php get_sidebar('second') ; ?>
TRY
<?php get_sidebar('sidebar-second.php') ; ?>
this should do the trick

lightbox effect on wordpress post attached images

I have this code to display the attached images on a post:
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_status' => null,
'post_parent' => $post->ID,
'exclude' => get_post_thumbnail_id()
);
$attachments = get_posts( $args );
if ( $attachments ) {
foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) {
echo '<a href="';
echo wp_get_attachment_url( $attachment->ID );
echo '" rel="lightbox">';
echo wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment->ID, 'large' );
echo '</a>';
}
}
?>
But i cannot work out why the Lightbox is not working! I have tried colorbox, shadowbox, ligthbox plugins etc... it just does not load. When you click on the image, it just opens in page.
What am i doing wrong?
See if your theme call
wp_head();
in your header file and
wp_footer();
in your footer file the plugins don't work if youar missing this.

Wordpress; image not appearing post loop

I have post about this before, but I didn't get any conclusive answer but I'm really hoping someone can help me. I have setup some custom post types, and with them, some custom fields using Wordpress 3's UI.
One of the fields I have set up is called banner_image, but in the loop, it doesn't output the image.
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'banner_image', true); ?>
This simply outputs the ID number of the post. If I set the function to false, I get an array with this ID in and nothing else. How do I get the path to the image? I can't work this out and Googling reveals a sea of content not related to my problem, it's a real difficult one to search for so you're my only hope!
Many thanks,
Michael.
<?php
global $post;
$tmp_post = $post;
$args = array(
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_type' => 'work',
'order' => 'DESC'
);
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
<?php if( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'show_in_home_banner', true) == "yes" ) { ?>
<li class="slide">
<div class="slide-image">
<a href="<?php echo get_page_link($post->ID) ?>">
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'banner_image', true); ?>
</a>
</div>
<div class="slide-content">
<h3 class="slide-header"><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'sub_title', true); ?></h3>
<p class="slide-title"><strong><?php echo the_title(); ?></strong></p>
</div>
</li>
<?php } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
Try this
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'banner_image', $single); ?>
Apparently, the custom field 'banner_image' doesn't have the right value. I guess it doesn't save the correct value first. You may want to install the Simple WP FirePHP plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-wp-firephp/) and check the value with the fb() function.
