Create new widget area between blog post of the home page.

Hey Victor,

Doing something like this would be quite complex, unfortunately. It would involve re-writing the post loop in custom templates. It's a little too involved to explain via forums.

I'm not sure what you're adding, but have you looked into a plugin like Ad Inserter? It has this capability baked in, but it doesn't use widget areas.

Tom, look forward to having this feature as well. I didn't know it was so difficult, as we have it working in our site (using genesis framework theme).

Hi there,

You can most likely use the same method you're using now with Genesis with GP. Is it a plugin or a custom page template?

I had this in the functions.php

// BETWEEN Posts
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'between-post-content',
'name' => __( 'Between Posts', 'mm' ),
'description' => __( 'Section Between Posts', 'mm' ),
) );
add_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'mm_between_post_content' );
function mm_between_post_content() {
global $loop_counter;
$loop_counter++;
if( $loop_counter == 2 ) {
if ( is_active_sidebar( 'between-post-content' ) ) {
    echo '<div class="between-post-content widget-area"><div class="wrap">';
	dynamic_sidebar( 'between-post-content' );
	echo '</div></div><!-- end .top -->';
	}
$loop_counter = 0;
}
}

Not sure if this will be of help. The intention was to have an ad b/w every two posts.

Hmm, not possible at the moment, but I think we should be able to add a hook in the next version that will achieve this.

I'll take a look :)
