Second Bar on Front Page

[Scooter Dale]

Bill,

What would I need to do to place 2 bars on front page. We would like to add a second bar that would track the amount of shoes collected.

Thanks,
Scooter

Scooter,

I believe you could do that. Here’s how I would go about adding it. I should mention that in the interest of keeping this as simple as possible, this method uses manual updating instead of the theme options page.

1. Go to the Appearance section and select edit to open up the theme editor.
2. From the list of files on your right, choose home.php
3. Look for this section:

   
   	<?php if(of_get_option('home_bar') == 'newsletter') { ?>
   		<?php get_template_part( '/includes/newsletter-bar' ); ?>
   	<?php } elseif(of_get_option('home_bar') == 'donation') { ?>
   		<?php get_template_part( '/includes/donation-bar' ); ?>
   	<?php } elseif(of_get_option('home_bar') == 'action') { ?>
   		<?php get_template_part( '/includes/action-bar' ); ?>
   	<?php } ?>
   

4. Paste this right below that section above:
   
5. You’ll need to make a few changes to the snippet above to fit your needs. Here’s what to change:
   1. Line 3: Change Donate Title to your name for the donation bar
   2. Line 7: Change the 50% to your progress in the campaign
   3. Line 8: Change Goal to your goal for the campaign
   4. Line 12: Change http://yourlink.com to the link you’d like to have for your donate button and change “Donate Button” to the label you’d like to have on your button
6. Save your changes.

That should add a second donation bar to the home page for you. Once it’s started, just change line 7 for the progress as you work toward your goal.

If you run into any trouble, let me know.

Enjoy your weekend,
Bill
