    Create a Sidebar and Widgets for Vantage "Create Listing", "Order Page" and More

    Not sure why there's no sidebar for these pages as they are great for "satisfaction guaranteed" badges, additional information upon registering, PayPal/Authorize.Net authentication, etc...

    I highly suggest creating a child-theme because we are going to edit a custom functions.php file (http://docs.appthemes.com/tutorials/...functionality/)

    This modification is relatively easy as it requires just a few steps:

    This example will create a sidebar for the "create-listings" page. Just replicate it to create additional sidebars for other pages of the theme.



    1. Open your custom functions.php file and enter the following:

    PHP Code:
    if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) {
    register_sidebar(array(
    'name' => 'Create Listing Sidebar',
    'id' => 'listing-sidebar',
    'description' => 'Appears as the sidebar on the add listing page',
    'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
    'after_widget' => '</aside>',
    'before_title' => '<div class="section-head"><h3>',
    'after_title' => '</h3></div>',
    ));



    2. Duplicate the original vantage/create-listings.php file, take the duplicate and paste it into your child theme, open it and replace the entire file with the following:

    PHP Code:
    <?php
    /**
     * Template Name: Create Listing
     */
     
     
    ?>


    <?php

    the_post
    ();

    appthemes_load_template'form-listing.php', array(
        
    'title' => get_the_title(),
        
    'listing' => va_get_default_listing_to_edit(),
        
    'action' => __'Next Step'APP_TD ),
        
    'form_action' => va_get_listing_create_url(),
        
    ) ); 
    ?>


    <div id="sidebar" class="threecol last">
    <?php get_sidebar('listing'); ?>
    </div>


    3. Create a file called - "sidebar-listing.php"

    Enter the following code and upload it:

    PHP Code:
    <?php
          
    if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('listing-sidebar') ) :
          endif; 
    ?>

    4. That's it! Now just visit your widgets page and you should see a new sidebar area called - "Add/Create Listing". Just drop whatever you want into the side bar and view your create-listing page to see the upgrade!


    Would be nice if the developers included this in the next update since these pages look odd without a sidebar!
