determine_attributes()

abstract protected function determine_attributes()

This is an abstract method that should be included in the theme-specific layout class that extends Method_Layout. In this method, you'll run conditionals against properties set by the build_page() method to determine the layout components needed for specific layouts, which is stored as an array of components in the "components" key of the $attr property. This array is later used by the build_components() method to build out the HTML for set components.

Example

protected function determine_attributes() {

if ( true == $this->attr['is_archive'] ) {

switch ( $this->attr['post_type'] ) {

case 'post':

$this->attr['components'] = array( 'news-header', 'post-list' );

break;

}

} else {

switch ( $this->attr['post_type'] ) {

case 'page':

if ( $this->attr['is_front'] ) {

$this->attr['components'] = array( 'front-carousel', 'front-intro' );

} else {

$template = get_page_template_slug( $this->id );

switch ( $template ) {

case 'templates/page-template-services.php':

$this->attr['components'] = array( 'internal-header', 'services-list' );

break;

default:

$this->attr['components'] = array( 'internal-header', 'default-content' );

break;

}

}

break;

case 'post':

$this->attr['components'] = array( 'post-header', 'post-content' );

break;

default:

break;

}

}

return;

}

The function above would register layout components for different pages/archives, as listed below:
