Calling a widget into the header php file??
I want to call the translation widget into the area in the header and replace the search bar. I want to obviously do it without the title which is easy enough, I just don't give it one. But how would I go about ?hooking? into the header?

Doug Montgomery says:Yes....
On the front page you'll see a translation widget about half way down on the left. I want to pull that widget up into the search bar. - 01/21/12 10:40pm

Fahd Murtaza says:Looks like the header search form needs to be replaced with the php code which outputs the translation widget. This wont be simple drag and drop I believe.

10:42pmLuis Abarca says:You need to register and create a sidebar in the place you need the widget
Register in functions.php
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => 'HeaderSideBar',
'id' => 'header-sidebar',
'description' => 'Widgets in this area will be shown on the header.',
'before_title' => '<h1>',
'after_title' => '</h1>'
));
Add the place in header.php
dynamic_sidebar('header-sidebar')
Then assign the widget to the sidebarPrevious versions of this answer: 01/21/12 at 10:42pm | 01/21/12 at 10:42pm

Doug Montgomery says:Ok, did I really just do that? I feel like such a rookie...I didn't know it would stretch out like that...sorry about that...
Here's the short version...
<div id="search-form">
<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url(); ?>/">
<input type="text" value="<?php esc_attr_e('Search this site...', 'Chameleon'); ?>" name="s" id="searchinput" />
<input type="image" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/search_btn.png" id="searchsubmit" />
</form>
...I know this is what I want to replace but I don't know anything about <div>'s or where to place the dynamic_sidebar('header-sidebar').
Just looking at the functions.php...I have no idea where to put the code you gave above. It's literally greek to me.

- 01/21/12 11:33pm
Arnav Joy says:my skype is : arnav.joy
- 01/21/12 11:42pm
Arnav Joy says:go to functions.php
and the end of the file add these code
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => 'HeaderTranslationWidget',
'id' => 'header-translation-widget',
'description' => 'This widgets is used for the header.',
'before_title' => '<h1>',
'after_title' => '</h1>'
));
and call this at the place where search form is defined
means just replace following code
<div id="search-form">
<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url(); ?>/">
<input type="text" value="<?php esc_attr_e('Search this site...', 'Chameleon'); ?>" name="s" id="searchinput" />
<input type="image" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/search_btn.png" id="searchsubmit" />
</form>
</div>
with the following code at header.php
<?php dynamic_sidebar('header-translation-widget') ?>
Now just got to Appereance>>Widgets at admin panel and drag drop translation widget to this newlly created widget.
See You!!!

Arnav Joy says:add the code in functions.php
at the end of the file and just befor the ?> tag - 01/21/12 11:55pm
Arnav Joy says:can you come on skype
arnav.joy
or paste your functions.php here i will make it - 01/21/12 11:56pm
Arnav Joy says:any code in php files must come under <?php --all the code--- ?>
so you have placed that code after the ?>
that's why it is visible at the browser and working as a normal text rather than as a php code - 01/21/12 11:58pm

11:44pmDuncan O'Neill says:You could take a completely different tack, and use the
qtranslate plugin
Then all you need to do in the header is place this code where you want it;
if(function_exists('qtrans_generateLanguageSelectCode')) {
// Image Only :'image', Text Ony :'text',Both :'both'
qtrans_generateLanguageSelectCode('image');
}
The plugin allows language switching by use of small image flags, text, or both.

Doug Montgomery says:Thanks although gtranslate doesn't allow for saved user correction. Transposh will allow anyone to correct the translation.
