I’d like to put something like this in searchform.php:
<?php if($widget){ ?>
//load serach form for sidebar...
<?php }else{ ?>
//load different search form for page content (404 page)
<?php } ?>
How can I prepare $widget variable? Or maybe I should use another method? Like filter? Or get template part?
Check if searchform is included?
The
get_search_form()function (that should be used) useslocate_template('searchform.php');to display the search form.The later returns (as you can see from its source)
So if you’re just wanting to catch the default way, then you should simply test
You can maybe think of a hundred of other scenarios on how to include the search form, but you’ll never catch them all.
The real problem (and I don’t have a solution for that) is that this only checks the existence, not if it is included via a widget. So above is only meant to work from inside a (custom) widget.
Display widget programmatically
If you want to display a widget (in absence of others) via PHP code in your template, then go with
the_widget()Source link.Check your sidebars
To inspect your sidebars, you can simply check the
$GLOBALS['wp_registered_sidebars'].Check your widgets
Core also has a possibility to check the registered widgets:
wp_get_sidebars_widgets(), which you can use to check for the existance of a widget.I managed to do this with
get_template_part();– you just need searchform.php and searchform-different.php.
