[Resolved] Sidebar layout not work

[Radek]

Hi Tom, any way how to get GP sidebar layout + footer widget work with custom post types ?
For understanding if I choose “Content without sidebars” there is still sidebar at post frontend, but under content as You can see: http://test.erenza.net/?post_type=wpcm_match&p=132

Plugin author describe some solution here:
https://wpclubmanager.com/docs/themeing/#document-8

but I’m not so good with hooks…

so if You got some better solution for me 😉

thanx a lot
Radek

We have a pretty awesome filter that allows you to set the sidebar layout for custom areas: generatepress.com/knowledgebase/choosing-sidebar-layouts/#sidebar-filter

In this case, you could do something like this:

add_filter( 'generate_sidebar_layout','generate_custom_post_type_sidebar_layout' );
function generate_custom_post_type_sidebar_layout( $layout )
{
 	// Set the sidebar
 	if ( 'wpcm_match' == get_post_type() )
 	 	return 'left-sidebar';

 	// Or else, set the regular layout
 	return $layout;

}

sorry for stupid question, but where can I use this code ? functions.php or some child theme file ?
thanx

Any of the options on this page will work: http://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/adding-php-functions/

[Radek]

doesnt work (child theme functions.php method).
maybe because there is this file: wp-club-manager/templates/single-match.php with this code:

<?php
/**
 * The Template for displaying all single matches.
 *
 * Override this template by copying it to yourtheme/wpclubmanager/single-match.php
 *
 * @author 		ClubPress
 * @package 	WPClubManager/Templates
 * @version     1.0.0
 */

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit; // Exit if accessed directly

get_header(); ?>

	<?php
		/**
		 * wpclubmanager_before_main_content hook
		 *
		 * @hooked wpclubmanager_output_content_wrapper - 10 (outputs opening divs for the content)
		 * @hooked wpclubmanager_breadcrumb - 20
		 */
		do_action('wpclubmanager_before_main_content');
	?>

		<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

			<?php wpclubmanager_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-match' ); ?>

		<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

	<?php
		/**
		 * wpclubmanager_after_main_content hook
		 *
		 * @hooked wpclubmanager_output_content_wrapper_end - 10 (outputs closing divs for the content)
		 */
		do_action('wpclubmanager_after_main_content');
	?>

	<?php
		/**
		 * wpclubmanager_sidebar hook
		 *
		 * @hooked wpclubmanager_get_sidebar - 10
		 */
		do_action('wpclubmanager_sidebar');
	?>
 
<?php get_footer(); ?>

That would do it.

Try adding this:

add_action('wpclubmanager_sidebar','generate_contruct_sidebars');

[Radek]

still the same 🙁

[Radek]

if I commented:

<?php
		/**
		 * wpclubmanager_sidebar hook
		 *
		 * @hooked wpclubmanager_get_sidebar - 10
		 *
		* do_action('wpclubmanager_sidebar');
		*/
	?>

sidebar is gone, but thats not clean solution for me 🙂

This URL doesn’t seem to be working for me: http://test.erenza.net/?post_type=wpcm_match&p=132

Can you double-check it and let me know? 🙂

[Radek]

it works for me, but its already OK because I did workaround using page template from GP to plugin file single-match.php
Yes, not comfortable solution, but if Im not good with programming, filters and hooks 😉

[Tom]

Weird – it’s just a 404 page for me.

Either way, glad you found a solution 🙂
