This only works if you’re using the Easel theme, but this code will place the comic archive dropdown into the menubar if you want it there.

You add this to your child theme’s functions.php

add_action('easel-menubar-after','mytheme_add_archive_dropdown_to_menubar');

function mytheme_add_archive_dropdown_to_menubar() {
	echo '<div class="menubar-archive-dropdown">';
	if (function_exists('ceo_comic_archive_jump_to_chapter')) ceo_comic_archive_jump_to_chapter();
	echo '</div>';
}

Then you can skin / clean up the look with some extra CSS add this to your child theme’s style.css

.menubar-archive-dropdown { float: right; display: inline-block; }

And there you have it, it will then display the comic archive chapter dropdown to the menubar with the Easel theme.

Additional functionality added, the function now accepts two arguments, unhide hidden chapters (because they’re empty, i.e. show empty chapters) and you can exclude certain chapters from showing (comma separated)

ceo_comic_archive_jump_to_chapter($unhide = false, $exclude = '') {

so the line in the function above would look something like this:

if (function_exists('ceo_comic_archive_jump_to_chapter')) ceo_comic_archive_jump_to_chapter(true, '3,4,5');

Or you can just put ceo_comic_archive_jump_to_chapter() by itself without arguments and that will work fine, or even ceo_comic_archive_jump_to_chapter(true); by itself if you wanted. It’s all good.

Adding another custom taxonomy to your comics

So, you want to track all of the artists and which comics that they worked on. Then add this bit of code to your CHILD THEME’s functions.php file.

$labels = array(
		'name' => __( 'Artists', 'comiceasel'),
		'singular_name' => __( 'Artist', 'comiceasel' ),
		'search_items' =>  __( 'Search Artists', 'comiceasel' ),
		'popular_items' => __( 'Popular Artists', 'comiceasel' ),
		'all_items' => __( 'All Artists', 'comiceasel' ),
		'parent_item' => __( 'Parent Artist', 'comiceasel' ),
		'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Artist:', 'comiceasel' ),
		'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Artist', 'comiceasel' ), 
		'update_item' => __( 'Update Artist', 'comiceasel' ),
		'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Artist', 'comiceasel' ),
		'new_item_name' => __( 'New Artist Name', 'comiceasel' ),
		);

register_taxonomy('artists', 'comic', array(
			'hierarchical' => true,
			'public' => true,
			'labels' => $labels,
			'show_ui' => true,
			'query_var' => true,
			'show_tagcloud' => false,
			'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'artist', 'with_front' => true, 'feeds' => false ),
			));
			
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('artists', 'comic');	

add_action('comic-post-info', 'ceo_child_display_comic_artist_info');

function ceo_child_display_comic_artist_info() {
	global $post;
	if ($post->post_type == 'comic') {
		$before = '<div class="comic-artists">'.__('Artist','comiceasel').': ';
		$sep = ', ';
		$after = '</div>';
		echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'artists', $before, $sep, $after );
	}
}

The way this is written allows for yoururl.com/artist/artists-slug to display all of the comics that the taxonomy is associated with; This will also add another menu item under Comics -> Artists AND include the option in the comic editor to add them. The above code also makes it act like ‘categories’ .. if you want it to be more like tags and not have parent child relationships, you would change the ‘hierarchical’ => true, to ‘hierarchical’ => false

If you wanted to add one for writers, just find EVERY (and I mean every) place it says artist and change it to writer, including the function names and function references. (remember you can’t have two functions with the same name in the code)

Adding another button to the Navigation Widget

Posted In: Code Snippets

These function examples are meant for people who have a minimal grasp of adding code to their functions.php, preferably in the child theme.

Comic Easel has an action location inside the navigation widget for the center section of it. In this section you can add additional buttons or text clicks like a buy now button or even a share click link. 

add_action('inside-comic-navigation', 'custom_insert_into_navigation');

function custom_insert_into_navigation() { ?>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function toggle() {
    var ele = document.getElementById("Share");
    var text = document.getElementById("displayShare");
    if(ele.style.display == "block") {
        ele.style.display = "none";
        text.innerHTML = "show";
    } else {
        ele.style.display = "block";
        text.innerHTML = "hide";
    }
} 
</script>
<div><a id="displayShare" href="javascript:toggle();">Share</a></div>
<?php }

This is an example of adding a function to execute into the inside-comic-navigation action location. What it does is output the script and a href to toggle the javascript necessary to open the CSS Share Element.

You could even do something really simple:

add_action('inside-comic-navigation', 'custom_insert_into_navigation_forum_link');

function custom_insert_into_navigation_forum_link() { ?>
      <a class="navi navi-forum" title="Frumph.NET Forums" href="http://forum.frumph.net/">Forum</a>
<?php }

In this example, all you are injecting is an href – link to go to the forums, it’s adding the appropriate classes so you can CSS them like the rest of the buttons/links in the navigation widget, and a unique class “navi_forum” specifically for that link.
