How to have your own Home Page Design in GoClixy?

GoClixy each web page is divided into three parts:

Layouts

A layout is a collection of widgets or HTML code that is common for multiple pages. For instance, you could have a Navbar, Left, Right and Footer blocks in a Layout that is common to all pages.

Views

View refers to the arrangement of text and graphics on a page. This is specific to a page.

Widgets

A widget is a small block of code that performs a specific function. You can add these widgets in the Layouts and the Views web pages. These are designed to provide a simple and easy-to-use way of giving design and structure control of the GoClixy theme to the user. For example, you can create a block for categories and call it in Home and View page to enhance its functionalities.

How to add a Widget?

• Give a meaning Name to your widget.
• If this widget is designed for a specific view, type its name in the Applicable Views field and select it from the list.
• Click the Browse.. button to add an image (Optional).

• Add your notes in the Any Useful Information field.

• If your widget has external CSS dependencies (e.g. Owl Carousel, Slick Slider, etc.) add them
• Similarly, add JS dependencies if there are any.
• Click the Save button to save your widget.

How to add HTML/CSS/jQuery code?

• Click the Code Editor icon
• Paste your code in respective blocks

 

How to use a widget?

Use the code below to add your widget in a View/Layout page.

<?php echo theme_view('widgets/packages/<NAME OF THE WIDGET>', PARAMETERS?>

E.g.

<?php echo theme_view('widgets/packages/_pkg_widget_22', array('type_id' => 0,'cols' => 3));?>

After adding a widget, click the Star icon to set the View/Layout page to default to recompile the widget specific CSS and JS files.

CSS and JS changes are not reflecting?

After making a change to the CSS or JS code, you must set the page to default to recompile the CSS and JS files. This is the page where you have used the widget. You can also set the theme to default, but we suggest that you set the page to default instead of recompiling the entire theme's CSS and JS files.

For instance, if you have used the wigdet in the Home Page, go to Developer->Themes, go the Views tab and search for the Home keyword. The row with a yellow star is the active one, click the Star icon to regenerate the CSS and JS files.
