Thread: Full-Width Page Template

Full-Width Page Template

I use a forum software called Simple:Press (http://simplepressforum.com/) and found that with the CP theme, there's not enough width on the page to reduce vertical forum scrolling due to the sidebar. I ended up creating my own page template called "No Sidebar". Here's the code:



It's a brand-new install so there are no forums listed yet

Re: Full-Width Page Template

Thanks for the reply and that is exactly what i need now how do I actually create a new template? and where do i place the code? forgive me for being a neophyte.

Re: Full-Width Page Template

Well, you could just copy the code from above and create a php file with any name you want as long as it does not conflict with existing php files. I would put a prefix in front of the filename so you can find it easily for future upgrades and such.

The files goes in the /wp-content/themes/classipress folder. I named my file "azohvads_no_sidebar.php"

Whatever page you are using for the forums (and I assume you are using Simple:Press), just specify the "No Sidbar" (for the forum page) as the template and save the page.

I played around with my template yesterday and decided to go bare-bones with the formatting. You can see it here:

Re: Full-Width Page Template

Hi- I used the following script to create a page template for a full width page and it worked perfectly except that it seems the "ad classified" button doesn't work. It works fine on all other pages but not the full width pages. Has anyone else had that problem?
Thanks.

/*
Template Name: No Sidebar

get_header( );

<div class="content">
<div class="main ins">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="title">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>

<div class="product">
<?php the_content(__('Read more &raquo;','cp')); ?>
<?php edit_post_link(__('Edit Page','cp'), '

', '</p>'); ?>
</div>

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Re: Full-Width Page Template

I worked it out, if this helps anyone.

<?php
/*
Template Name: nosidebarpage
*/
require_once dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/form_process.php';
get_header( );
include_classified_form();
?>


<div class="content">
<div class="main ins">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="title">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>

<div class="product">
<?php the_content(__('Read more &raquo;','cp')); ?>
<?php edit_post_link(__('Edit Page','cp'), '

', '</p>'); ?>
</div>

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
