I am using Timber to create a very basic Wordpress theme.
I'm stuck though.
I want to create Widget areas in the theme and I can't figure it out.
I've tried following the instructions, for creating a Dynamic Widget, on this page - https://github.com/jarednova/timber/wiki/Sidebar#method-3-dynamic
By following this I've added the following code to my files - To page-frontpage.php I added
$context['dynamic_sidebar'] = Timber::get_widgets('dynamic_sidebar');
so it now looks like this:
<?php
$context = Timber::get_context();
$post = new TimberPost();
$context['post'] = $post;
$context['dynamic_sidebar'] = Timber::get_widgets('dynamic_sidebar');
Timber::render(array('page-' . $post->post_name . '.twig', 'page.twig'), $context);
I then added this to the base.twig file
<section>
{{ dynamic_sidebar }}
</section>
I expected to see a new Widget area in the Wordpress Admin under Appearance -> Customize but got nothing.
I've struggled with this for the past few hours and made little progress, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
I've fixed this issue.
I just had to go back to basics and create the widgets in the functions.php file, so now my code looks something like this.
in functions.php
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => 'Home left sidebar',
'id' => 'home_left',
'before_widget' => '<div>',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<h2 class="rounded">',
'after_title' => '</h2>',
) );
in page-home.php
$context['home_left'] = Timber::get_widgets('home_left');
in home.twig
<div class="left-box">{{ home_left }}</div>
Hope this helps someone in the future
