I want to modify this function I found in geodirectory_hooks_actions.php

function geodir_detail_page_sidebar_content_sorting()
{
	$arr_detail_page_sidebar_content =
	apply_filters('geodir_detail_page_sidebar_content' , 
					array( 	'geodir_social_sharing_buttons',
							'geodir_share_this_button',
							'geodir_detail_page_google_analytics',
							'geodir_edit_post_link',
							'geodir_detail_page_review_rating',
							'geodir_detail_page_more_info'
						) // end of array 
				); // end of apply filter
	if(!empty($arr_detail_page_sidebar_content))
	{
		foreach($arr_detail_page_sidebar_content as $content_function)
		{
			if(function_exists($content_function))
			{
				add_action('geodir_detail_page_sidebar' , $content_function);	
			}
		}
	}
}

I can get what I’m after by commenting out

//'geodir_social_sharing_buttons',
							//'geodir_share_this_button',

But then of course I’m modifying the core plugin which I don’t want to do.

I tried a few things in the functions.php – for example adding:

remove_filter('geodir_detail_page_sidebar', 'geodir_social_sharing_buttons');

I also tried this:

function geodir_sidebar_custom() {
						array( 	//'geodir_social_sharing_buttons',
							//'geodir_share_this_button',
							'geodir_detail_page_google_analytics',
							'geodir_edit_post_link',
							'geodir_detail_page_review_rating',
							'geodir_detail_page_more_info'
							); // end of apply filter
}
add_filter('geodir_detail_page_sidebar_content', 'geodir_sidebar_custom')

Neither had the intended effect.

In the original code – it’s a variable which is then pulling a filter which is itself an array of functions… pretty nesty!

My theme has share buttons baked in already that look really nice so that’s why I’m trying to hide them.

FWIW – a feature request is to just turn those into widgets as well… it would make things more plugin-like and less theme like — I was surprised those elements where so baked in when the other elements in the listing side bar are widgeted – the my dashboard, map and popular listing stuff.

Thank you for helping me with a little copy paste code or refer me to a better tutorial – I’ve been through the codex and a few other tuts out there – but clearly not got my head around how to apply what I’ve learned to this situation.

Basically what you want to do is:

// remove the orginal action entirely

remove_action('geodir_detail_page_sidebar', 'geodir_detail_page_sidebar_content_sorting', 1);

// add a new action 

add_action('geodir_detail_page_sidebar', 'geodir_detail_page_sidebar_content_sorting_custom', 1);

// copy the orginal function, rename it and comment the code you wish to hide

function geodir_detail_page_sidebar_content_sorting_custom()

{
	$arr_detail_page_sidebar_content =

	apply_filters('geodir_detail_page_sidebar_content' , 

					array( 	'geodir_share_this_button',

							'geodir_detail_page_google_analytics',

							'geodir_edit_post_link',

							'geodir_detail_page_review_rating',

							'geodir_detail_page_more_info'

						) // end of array 

				); // end of apply filter

	if(!empty($arr_detail_page_sidebar_content))

	{

		foreach($arr_detail_page_sidebar_content as $content_function)

		{

			if(function_exists($content_function))

			{

				add_action('geodir_detail_page_sidebar' , $content_function);	

			}

		}

	}

}

I totally removed ‘geodir_social_sharing_buttons’, from the array.

Hope this helps!

Thx

Thank you @paolo!

BTW I’m integrating this with the Salient theme – it’s looking really nice.

I’m going to replicate how Salient will either put your images up top or if a video is present, then the video goes up top.

For Salient theme – it’s for their “portfolio” but I liked the look of it.

Anyhoo – one more tick box checked.. now onto the image vs video!

*topic resolved*

*impressed by fast response on Saturday!*

Tomorrow I’ll take it off though! 🙂

In this post (plus the one linked above) I explain exactly what you are looking for.

How to remove/edit elements in the detail page sidebar.

If by reading thiese posts you are still not confident editing the php file on your own, you should hire someone to do it for you, because it can be explained any simpler.

Thx

You’d add the code above to your theme functions.php file.

The plugin is made so that its functions can be modified without modifying it’s file.

Files of the plugin should never be modified.

Let us know,

Thx
