A better body-class function for WordPress

Brent Lagerman — Tue, 01 Jan 2013 20:23:59 +0000

UPDATE– Jan. 25, 2015: moving the parent page name checks into the conditional statement to avoid silent errors // UPDATE– Oct. 20, 2013: Thanks to Marty (see comments below), for convincing us to change out our method for body classes to filter the default WP body_class() function instead of creating our own. It still gives you all the advantages of our original function plus the classes you get by default.

Here’s what it does

First, check to see if you are on one of the following and create a class if so: home, 404, category, search, tag.
We then make a class prefixed by page_ that has the name of the page or post in it.
Then we check to see if the page has a parent, if so, we create a class prefixed by parent_ and put the parent name there.
Finally we make a class with the prefix template_ and put the name of the template used there.

The PHP

Add this stuff to your functions.php file, or just use our html5 shell and it’s built in.

// Add to the body_class function
function condensed_body_class($classes) {
    global $post;

    // add a class for the name of the page - later might want to remove the auto generated pageid class which isn't very useful
    if( is_page()) {
        $pn = $post->post_name;
        $classes[] = "page_".$pn;
    }

    // add a class for the parent page name
    if ( is_page() && $post->post_parent ) {
        $post_parent = get_post($post->post_parent);
        $parentSlug = $post_parent->post_name;
        $classes[] = "parent_".$parentSlug;
    }

    // add class for the name of the custom template used (if any)
    $temp = get_page_template();
    if ( $temp != null ) {
        $path = pathinfo($temp);
        $tmp = $path['filename'] . "." . $path['extension'];
        $tn= str_replace(".php", "", $tmp);
        $classes[] = "template_".$tn;
    }

    return $classes;

}

add_filter('body_class', 'condensed_body_class');

The HTML

<body class="<?php body_class(); ?>">

Your Help

Let us know if you see ways to make it better, probably more conditions could be added to the beginning to take into consideration more template types.

Beygl

Brent Lagerman — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 20:55:47 +0000

This new Park Slope eatery has *amazing* bagels, or as they like to spell them: beygls. The funny spelling comes from the word’s yiddish origin. These guys really know and love the process of making these things, so we spent some time illustrating a cool process page that shows how it’s done. We also like how they source wholesome local ingredients from other New York and Brooklyn vendors. You can check out their delicious menu on the website, or if you’re in the Slope stop by and pick up a beygl.

From the beginning we were very excited about designing Kris’ website because she started off by telling us how awesome she thought our work was and how she wanted us to come up with original animated art to be the theme for her site!

As inspiration Kris showed us a book by Eric Carle. We made a bunch of paintings and cut out pieces to bring into flash, where animation superhero, Kim Hui, brought them to life.

WordPress for iOS

Brent Lagerman — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 02:13:02 +0000

Messing around with WordPress for iOS, overall I like it, I accidentally deleted a post by trying to cancel out of uploading an image somehow, so it’s not perfect yet, but has a lot of promise. One awesome feature that it includes is geo tagging your posts. A slew of cool applications for this come to mind, can’t wait to try hooking into the geo data on the template side.

Ok, now that the post got published I’m going to go back to trying to upload the photo I took at the Big East Tournament.

HTML5 Shell for WordPress

Brent Lagerman — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 16:11:19 +0000

We’ve updated our WordPress shell to take advantage of HTML5, we’re also making it freely available as an open source project which we’re hoping will help others who are making custom WordPress themes and also push us to keep making it better.

Dr. Amy Yasko

Brent Lagerman — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 03:57:00 +0000

We just finished up the re-design of Dr. Amy Yasko’s website. The challenge with this one was to create a warm welcoming introduction for parents to a site that has very complicated scientific subject matter.

Website Designs

We designed the site to feel like a friendly warm place to learn about the program. We take every opportunity we can to show a photo of a child that’s been helped by her program because that’s what it’s all about.

Patients considering filing suit against their doctors should be sure to consult a Charlotte brain injury lawyers. You can find this center and medical malpractice attorney near you using the search tools below.

Dr Amy has been treating children with autism for years customizing holistic medicine treatments for each child based on specialized tests she’s developed, while using other wellness measures as a recreation and exercise with equipment as a pilates ball so kids become more social. Her old site was too technical though and left most mothers running for the hills.

Logo Concept

Although not chosen by the client, we really liked to buy smokea headshop products concept, the canary was suggested by Amy’s team as a good symbol for her practice because of their sensitivity to foreign substances (something they share with Autistic children).

NOTE: We collaborated with health journalist, Alison Rose Levy on the content for this project.

Launch: The Way

Brent Lagerman — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:03:55 +0000

We’re just getting back from our annual trip to Spain, while we were there we coincidentally launched a site for a film set on the Camino de Santiago a Compostela – ‘The Way’ directed by Emelio Estevez.

‘The Way’ was directed by Emelio Estevez, and stars his father, Martin Sheen. In the movie Emelio’s character is somehow killed on the Camino de Santiago a Compostela, a religious pilgrimage through Spain. We haven’t seen the film yet, so we’re not sure how he dies, no spoilers here… but from the trailer we’ve gathered that his father takes his son’s ashes and goes on the camino himself.

Thanks to Ben at Mixed Media Workshop for getting this great job for us and collaborating on the work. Together we achieved some cool results with this site, and we’re very proud of the way it came out, also can’t wait to see the film, we’re big fans of Emelio!!

The site for and it looks pretty slick. We brought the identity work we created for them to life with some flash animation. The goal was to create a feeling of childhood innocence while at the same time keeping it looking very professional and polished.
