I copied line for line a code from someone on this site on how to overlay two plots with two y axes. However, the example uses two line plots, but I have one line plot and one barplot that I want to overlay. I can't seem to obtain an overlay at all and it just plots the line plot. Please help. Thanks.

I would like for the output to look exactly (or very similar) to this: 
However, I want the barplot "dodged"
This does most of what you want: inward pointing tick marks, combined legends from two plots, overlapping of two plots, and moving the y-axis of one to the right side of the plot.

Recently, I discovered that starting with version 2.2.0 of ggplot2, it is possible to add a secondary axis. Some demos: here or here; some already answered questions with this approach: here, here or here. An interesting discussion about adding a second OY axis here.
The main idea is that one needs to apply a transformation for the second OY axis. In the example below, the transformation factor is the ratio between the max values of each OY axis.
require(ggplot2)
my_factor <- 650/100
ggplot() +
geom_bar(data = df2,
aes(x = frax, y = phos, fill = type),
stat = "identity",
position = "dodge") +
geom_line(data = df1,
# Apply the factor on values appearing on second OY axis (multiplication)
aes(x = frax, y = solvb * my_factor),
colour = "blue") +
# add second OY axis; note the transformation back (division)
scale_y_continuous(sec.axis = sec_axis(trans = ~ . / my_factor,
name = "% Solvent B")) +
# final adjustments
labs(x = "Fractions",
y = "Phospho hits",
fill = "") +
theme_bw()
