I have been searching the forums for a hook reference or something but have been unable to find what I’m looking for.

I want to add two widget areas on the detail page.

First, before the social block and second, after the owner/edit block as in the image below.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

there is hook to filter the social sharing buttons html: geodir_social_sharing_buttons_html

Here I explain how to add an image on top of them and that should help you:

Similarly, you can use geodir_detail_page_more_info_html

Let us know how you went.

Thanks

Thank you Paolo…

I’m halfway there… Here’s the code. Now to get a widget into the second area.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Is there another hook there?

If anyone else wants to do this, here’s the code:
```
//Create Detail Page Top Sidebar Widget to Page
register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'geodir-details-sidebar-top',
	'name'        => 'GD Details Sidebar Top',
	'before_widget' => '<div class="geodir-company_info geodir-details-sidebar-top">',
	'after_widget'  => '</div>',
) );

// Add Detail Page Top Sidebar Widget to Page
function details_sidebar_top ( $sidebar_top_content ) {
	dynamic_sidebar('geodir-details-sidebar-top');
	return $sidebar_top_content;
}
add_filter( 'geodir_social_sharing_buttons_html', 'details_sidebar_top', 10, 1 );
```

Thanks!

Thanks again. I ended up figuring it out after re-reading what you wrote.

Can you think of a way to add a widget or JS code between two Custom Fields?

I thought of maybe adding an HTML field and locking it down to admin only, however it doesn’t allow for a default value. That’s also not optimal either though should the default value be added to the database in the event it needed to be updated.

Thanks again.

Hi jkirker,

Maybe this is the second hook u are after, just filter the html and tag on what you want?

```

                     * @param string $html_var The HTML variable name for the field.
                     */
                    do_action('geodir_before_show_' . $html_var);
                    /**

                     */
                    if ($html) echo apply_filters('geodir_show_' . $html_var, $html, $variables_array);

                    /**
                     * Called after a custom fields is output on the frontend.
                     *

                     * @param string $html_var The HTML variable name for the field.
                     */
                    do_action('geodir_after_show_' . $html_var);
