Description

Genesis Integration links Toolset Layouts to the Genesis framework, allowing you to build theme templates by placing cells and blocks directly in Genesis hooks instead of editing child theme PHP files. It is intended for those who use Genesis themes with Toolset custom types and want to structure pages, archives, and single templates without modifying the template hierarchy, hooks in functions.php, or the child theme’s internal structure.

Key Features of Genesis Integration

  • Genesis hooks in the editor
    Exposes the framework’s native hooks within the Toolset Layouts visual editor.
  • Genesis-compatible cells
    Adds ready-to-use cells that respect the theme’s header, content, sidebar, and footer structure.
  • Templates for custom types
    Creates layouts dedicated to Toolset CPTs displayed within Genesis child themes.
  • PHP-free editing
    Replaces functions.php customization with visual configuration performed in the WordPress dashboard.
  • Child theme compatibility
    Works with any Genesis child theme without changing the parent theme or breaking updates.

Benefits of Genesis Integration

  • Greater design autonomy
    Adjust Genesis templates without relying on a developer for every layout change.
  • Less code in the child theme
    Reduces PHP customizations and keeps the theme ready for future updates.
  • Unified visual workflow
    Edits all theme areas within the same interface used by the other Toolset modules.
  • Layout reuse
    Reuses the same layout across multiple Genesis templates, saving time on sites with many templates.

Who Is Genesis Integration For?

  • Those who maintain sites using Genesis themes and use Toolset custom types and fields in the same project.
  • Designed for those who need to extend Genesis pages without editing the template hierarchy or hooks through code.
  • For those who develop Genesis sites for clients and want a centralized visual editing workflow in the dashboard.

How to Download Genesis Integration

Genesis Integration is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file, and activate it. The integration will then appear within the Toolset Layouts editor, provided that Toolset Layouts and a Genesis theme are active.

By combining the Toolset Layouts engine with Genesis’s native anchor points, this extension brings together two distinct workflows: the flexibility of Toolset custom fields and types and the stability of Genesis’s hook architecture. The result is a single editing environment for sites based on structured content, without giving up the framework’s established conventions.
