Details – put URL around Featured Hero Image

Thank you, Kiran, that did indeed add stuff beneath the top Featured Image Hero.

Couldn’t seem to make it work to put a link around that featured image, though.

This was my fix (done in localhost, eoh stuff is so I could search for changes.)

Realized I actually needed to be in Supreme Directory’s geodirectory-compatibility.php to effect this change.

From there, realized my “target” html/code was in sup_add_feat_img_head.

Instead of doing this the very proper way, I (my bad) played with editing the geodirectory-compatibility.php, since I’m playing on localhost.

I COULD have included this HUGE chunk of code in my functions.php, but that seemed like overkill to me. Either way, the same alterations would be made to the code.

First, I erred and tried to put an href link around the featured-img div. Not right.

Then, I realized that the link needed to be around the featured-area, instead.

To implement, I did the following — just in case someone else is trying to do this.

Above the <div class=”featured-area”> is a PHP code area.

Into that I inserted the following to check if there IS a website stored for the detail listing place.
If there’s a listing, we can do a link.

Here’s the mini-code:

 if(isset($post->geodir_website) && $post->geodir_website){
          // echo 'There is a website - EOH';
          // echo 'Website value is ' . $post->geodir_website;
          $add_a_link_to_featured_image_hero = TRUE;
      }
      else{
        // echo 'There is NOT a website - EOH';
        $add_a_link_to_featured_image_hero = FALSE;
    }

    //Whoopee, a website URL exists!
    if ($add_a_link_to_featured_image_hero)
    {
        echo '<a href="' . esc_url($post->geodir_website) . '" target="_blank" class="eoh">';
    }

Then, you also have to search for the string “sd-detail-details end” — that’s where you put the END of the href — presuming a website was stored.

You check if you ADDED the start of the href with the $add_a_link_to_featured_image_hero variable.

That section now looks like this:

 <!-- container end -->
                               <?php do_action('sd-detail-details-container-after'); ?>
                           </div> <?php if ($add_a_link_to_featured_image_hero){echo '</a>';}?>
                           <!-- sd-detail-details end -->
                           <?php do_action('sd-detail-details-after'); ?>

Hope this helps somebody!

Kiran, you got me in the right area to start looking. Thank you!

Is there an easier way than the above, do you think?
