Has anyone ever figured out a simple way to create a setting to add classes to a container when a check box control is checked? I’m trying to come up with a way to add push and pull classes to my main content area and sidebar to swap the sidebar from left to right. The best I’ve come up with so far is to add a script that uses jQuery append() to add them the push pull classes where needed and wrap the enqueue for that script in a conditional statement that checks if a that checkbox is checked. That seems like an awfully complicated method though…

[...] Theme and plugin developers interested in adding new options to a theme’s Theme Customization page should see the documentation on the Theme Customization API. Additional tutorials on the Theme Customization API are available at theOttopress.com website. [...]

You would need 3 options for these, with a setting and control each, so one for the headings link color, one for the menu background, and one for the menu links. Then in your javascript section, you have three items for each defining the selectors, ie:

                wp.customize('my_navigation_hover',function( value ) {
			value.bind(function(to) {
				jQuery('ul#nav li a').css({'color': to});
			});
		});

When building your style.php, you can use multiple selectors at once per normal practice:

h1, h2, h3{color:;}

Otto I’m wondering does the WP_Customize_Image_Control stores other information about the image as well? Width and height maybe?

I wrote that when it was still in beta, it changed before final release.

Hi Otto, In the line $('.posttitle').css('color', to ? '#' + to : '' );, you add a # to the color value. I couldn't make the code work, and realised it is because WP already returns the hex value prefixed with a #. The line works if I change it to $('.posttitle').css('color', to ? to : '' );. Hope that helps people!
