Adding MP3 Player below footer in Home page

[dipaksaraf 0]

Hello I am using PlatfromPro and I want to add a MP3 player below the footer of the Home Page.

<?php
	echo jwplayer_tag_callback("[jwplayer config="Custom Player1" playlistid="435"]")?>

Where do i add this code in the Home page? Thanks Dipak

You will want to use a hook. Something like this should be pasted into your functions.php file in -Base ` add_action ('pagelines_after_footer','player'); function player(){ echo jwplayer_tag_callback("[jwplayer config="Custom Player1" playlistid="435"]"); } `

Do you have Base activated? Also, where in the functions.php file are you adding the code?

HEllo Catarina i guess where i was doing the mistake, i was adding the code at the end of function.php, whereas it has to be insterted in Base Function. Now if i insert this function How do i call the player in Home page only?

You can use a wordpress conditional: http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags For example:

if ( is_front_page() ){
	//your code goes here.
	}

or you could use CSS, for example:

#my-vid-div {display:none}
	.home #my-vid-div {display:block}

Hello I was trying to edit the function.php file as suggested above in platformbase folder, but got error so i reverted the changes. Now i am unable to access the WP-admin and its giving following error.

"Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/kings28/public_html/test2/wp-content/themes/platformbase/functions.php:1) in /home/kings28/public_html/test2/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 890"

The code in function.php are as follows :

<?php
	
	// Setup  -- Probably want to keep this stuff...
	
		// Set up action for section registration...
	
		add_action('pagelines_register_sections', 'base_sections');
	
		/* Hello! First, lets load the PageLines core so we have access to the functions */
	
		require_once(TEMPLATEPATH . "/core/core.init.php");

	// ====================================================
	
	 // Hooks are a way to easily add custom functions and content to the Platform theme. There are hooks placed strategically throughout the theme
	
	 // so that you insert code and content with ease.
	
	 // Below is an example of how you would add a social media icon to the icons in header (branding section)
	
	 // We have placed a hook at the end of the icon set specifically add new icons without modifying code or having to worry about your edits
	
	 // getting thrown out during the upgrade process. The way to use hooks goes a little like this:
	
		// add_action('hook_name','function name');
	
		add_action('pagelines_branding_icons_end', 'add_icons_to_branding');
	
		// function name
	
		function add_icons_to_branding(){
	
		// what the function does??“in this case adds a stumbleupon icon to the header of your theme. The class referenced in the link can be seen in the style.css
	
		// and is the image from the CSS is placed in the images folder
	
			?>
	
			
	
	<?php }
	
		// end function
	
	 // A full list of hooks can be seen by toggling the "advanced" button on each section in the "template setup" option tab. Each hook listed is associated with the section that it is listed under. That's all! Start adding hooks below.

			4. Section setup and variable array

		pagelines_register_section('BasePullQuote', 'pullquote', null, array('child' => true) );
	
		pagelines_register_section('BaseSidebar','sb_base', null, array('child' => true) );
	
	}[/code]

Please suggest.

First you'll need to re-upload the original functions.php file (via FTP) so that it's back to normal and then you can make changes again.

Thanks I did the same and WP-admin was back again, bt i am still stumbled in the MP3 player issue. As suggested by Adam i should add this code in function.php:

add_action ('pagelines_after_footer','player');
	
	function player(){
	echo jwplayer_tag_callback("[jwplayer config="Custom Player1" playlistid="435"]");
	}

This will make player visible in all the pages, am i correct? Now if i want to display it only in the home page as suggested by jimmy i can use

if ( is_front_page() ){
	//your code goes here.
	}
	
	or
	
	#my-vid-div {display:none}
	.home #my-vid-div {display:block}

the same can be used if i am coding or calling the function from the page or post, but since i am using the hook by default it is already executed. is it correct?? or I have to call it in the pages i want manually like player(). Please suggest I am still confused at this point.

Yes, you will have to call it in the specific pages that you want it to appear in if you don't it in any other pages.
