Hey,

I would like to place something ABOVE the existing widget layout on the sidebar of a listing.

The aside id=”geodir-sidebar” area, so before the class=”geodir-content-right geodir-sidebar-wrap” starts.

How can I do this?

Thanks.

Hi Mitch,

Here’s a filter you can use to display anything above the “sidebar”. Kindly use the code snippets plugin to use the code below. Well, let us know how it goes.
```
add_action( 'geodir_detail_sidebar', 'some_custom_stuff', 5 );
function some_custom_stuff() {    
   ?>
   <div class="custom-stuff">        
        <p>Testing</p>
   </div>
   <?php
}
```

Hey Kor,

Thanks, this works great. For reference (myself and any others searching) it simply needed some styling for the column layout to match:
```
.custom-stuff {
    margin-left: 75%; /*this would likely need to change based on column settings*/
    padding-left: 25px;
}
```
The real cool thing was that it looked like I could also add a functional shortcode in there (again for reference):
```
add_action( 'geodir_detail_sidebar', 'some_custom_stuff', 5 );
function some_custom_stuff() {    
   ?>
   <div class="custom-stuff">        
        <p>Testing more content things ...
<br />
	<?php
echo do_shortcode( '[kleo_search_form form_style="default" type="both" context="places" placeholder="search..."]' );
?>
<br />
	<p>and even testing content more here...</p>
   </div>
   <?php
}
```
and it worked. If there is a more correct way to do what I did with the shortcode, or if you have other suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks again.

Hi Mitch,

that would be the only way to do it.

Thanks
