Microsites

The custom microsite functionality of Kandie Girls is tied in with the Hybrid parent theme and is managed in the Admin Panel via Appearance ⇒ Hybrid Settings ⇒Virual Sections. (The code is in the Kandie functions.php and includes.)

The Virtual Settings tab allows for up to twelve microsites, numbered as Section One through to Section Twelve . (A later version of Kandie might parameterise this number.) There is an additional entry for the Main Site, which is handled slightly differently.

For the twelve sections (microsites), a number of fields can or must be entered. A row of empty fields indicates that the microsite is not in use on the site.

ID (mandatory)

The slug for the microsite e.g. for-editors This is used internally to link various items to the micro-site.

Folder (mandatory)

The relative path of the parent URL for the micro-site e.g. /for-editors or /affiliates/build

This is used to identify when the micro-site is being displayed. All pages must be children of this relative path.

Section Title (optional)

Optionally overridde the main site title e.g. Resources for Editors. See the Site Header page for more information.

Section Description (optional)

Optionally overridde the main site description (tagline)

Menu (optional)

A menu if specified (by name) will appear as a context menu at the top of the lefthand sidebar, above the site main menu (and which is always called Main Menu).

If the menu name is prefixed with a tilde ~ then the context menu will appear as a tab menu on any menu items within the microsite given a CSS Class of tab-menu

Flags (optional)

Flags may be combined if it is sensible to do so:

• +C turns on Categorisation at the bottom of singular posts; +CA in archives as well; +CF only in feeds
• +D runs on Date at the bottom of pages
• -M turns off main menu (via a stylesheet setting)
• -P turns off Primary sidebar
• -S turns of Secondary sidebar
