 * ya know, this is all roundabout anyways
 * use the [showcomic] shortcode on a page should be just fine for what you want
   to do
 * say you want to add a comic into any post you have to ya know, whatever – reference
   it; doesn’t matter .. this will embed the image with a link to the comic into
   whatever post you put it in
 * it has parameters:
 * character,size(thumbnail/large/full),slug,chapter,orderby(rand/asc/desc),month,
   day, year
 * so doing:
    [showcomic orderby=rand character=charlie]
 * will make a random comic appear in the post that has the character with the slug
   charlie set to it
 * [showcomic orderby=asc chapter=chapter-1]
 * show the first comic of the chapter with the slug chapter-1 orderby=desc would
   be last comic and orderby=rand would be a random comic in that chapter
 * … you can be specific and make it
    [showcomic slug=chp1pg3 size=full]
 * would make the comic post with the slug chp1pg3 (use your own) appear, .. specifically
   that comic only

 * Oh that’d never work, you need to setup the query for what posts you want to 
   grab first.
 * If you look at this bit of code here:
    [https://github.com/Frumph/comic-easel/blob/master/functions/injections.php#L46](https://github.com/Frumph/comic-easel/blob/master/functions/injections.php#L46)
 * You will see the $comic_args which tell the wordpress system what posts to find
 * then this part:
 *     ```
       			$comicFrontpage = new WP_Query(); $comicFrontpage->query($comic_args);
       			while ($comicFrontpage->have_posts()) : $comicFrontpage->the_post();
       				ceo_display_comic_wrapper();
       			endwhile;
       ```
   
 * is the actual loop to display the comics from the arguments you passed to it 
   with the $comicFrontpage->query($comic_args);
 * this actual bit of code is how it displays as its injected into the home page,
   but use it as a reference to how you would setup that page your creating

 * If you’re not using comicpress you can create a taxonomy-chapters.php file that
   will be used as the landing page, that links with /chapters/chapter-slug/ but
   you’ll need to add your own loop inside of it to get the latest from the chapter
   slug that is given (variable is passed to the taxonomy page so is easy to get)

 * If you’re using comicpress with comic easel you can setup a ‘landing page’ with/
   chapter/chapter-slug/ as part of the url which will have the ability to be linked
   to as well as the latest comic, the defines for it are in the comic -> config
   area

 * also you can embed comic easel’s do_action(‘comic-area’); into any responsive
   theme you want, alternatively zappbar plugin makes comicpress responsive

 * yes you can create a swipe for mobile, can link it directly to this function:
 *     ```
       function ceo_get_adjacent_comic($previous = true, $in_same_chapter = false, $taxonomy = 'comic')
       ```
   
 *  to go prev and next $previous = false -> is next comic

 * yes, you can create your own nav, use the post type ‘comic’ with the taxonomy‘
   chapters’ when doing your loop for prev and next (and first and last)
 *     ```
       <?php
               $args = array( 
                   'post_type' => 'comic', 
                   'orderby' => 'id',
                   'chapters' => $chapter_slug,
                   'order' => 'ASC' 
               );
   
       $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
       if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
   
       // do stuff here.
   
       endwhile; else: ?> <p>Sorry, there are no posts to display</p> <?php endif;
       wp_reset_query(); 
       ?>
       ```
   
 * your $args can be used however youwant, then the ‘do stuffhere’ is inside the
   loop
 * the navigation code I use:

 * that doesn’t look like it has the do_action(‘comic-area’); in the single.php 
   or the index.php … basically comic easel needs to be integrated into themes that
   are not comicpress
 * thats done by creating a child theme for the theme you’re using and adding that
   bit of php to it
