Oh sorry I guess I should have specified what I’m trying to accomplish. I have a drop down menu that contains my categories and I want an individual sidebar for each. I used the above code which gave me sidebars with my categories name in the widget section. I just cant figure out how to make them show up.
You might try asking on Suffusion’s dedicated forums:
http://aquoid.com/forum/
I posted about it there a few hours ago and still haven’t had a response. I guess I will try again. Thanks.
I read all that but still don’t understand how to get them to appear on something that is not a page. Like I said they are categories. This is probably the simplest thing and I just can’t figure it out. I have been trying to do this literally ALL day! I don’t give up and don’t ask for help until I absolutely can’t figure it out.
Let’s see if this helps. Below is the sidebar.php
<?php
/**
* Default (first) sidebar
*
* @package Suffusion
* @subpackage Templates
*/
global $sidebar_alignment, $suf_sidebar_alignment, $suf_wa_sb1_style, $suf_sidebar_1_def_widgets, $suf_sidebar_header;
if (is_page_template('1l-sidebar.php') || is_page_template('2l-sidebars.php') || (is_page_template('1l1r-sidebar.php') && $suf_sidebar_alignment == 'left')) {
$sidebar_alignment = 'left';
}
else if (is_page_template('1r-sidebar.php') || is_page_template('2r-sidebars.php') || (is_page_template('1l1r-sidebar.php') && $suf_sidebar_alignment == 'right')) {
$sidebar_alignment = 'right';
}
else if ($suf_sidebar_alignment == 'left') {
$sidebar_alignment = 'left';
}
else if ($suf_sidebar_alignment == 'right') {
$sidebar_alignment = 'right';
}
if ($suf_wa_sb1_style != 'tabbed') {
?>
<div class="dbx-group <?php echo $sidebar_alignment;?> <?php echo $suf_wa_sb1_style;?> warea" id="sidebar">
<?php
if (!dynamic_sidebar()) {
if ($suf_sidebar_1_def_widgets == 'show') {
$before_after_args = array(
'after_widget' => '</div></aside><!--widget end -->',
'before_title' => '<h3 class="dbx-handle '.$suf_sidebar_header.'">',
'after_title' => '</h3>'
);
$before_after_args['before_widget'] = '<!--widget start --><aside id="categories" class="dbx-box suf-widget widget_categories"><div class="dbx-content">';
the_widget('WP_Widget_Categories', array('count' => 1), $before_after_args);
$before_after_args['before_widget'] = '<!--widget start --><aside id="archives" class="dbx-box suf-widget widget_archive"><div class="dbx-content">';
the_widget('WP_Widget_Archives', array('count' => 1), $before_after_args);
$before_after_args['before_widget'] = '<!--widget start --><aside id="meta" class="dbx-box suf-widget"><div class="dbx-content">';
the_widget('WP_Widget_Meta', array(), $before_after_args);
}
}
?>
</div><!--/sidebar -->
<?php
}
else {
?>
<div class="tabbed-sidebar tab-box-<?php echo $sidebar_alignment;?> <?php echo $sidebar_alignment;?> warea fix" id="sidebar">
<ul class="sidebar-tabs">
<?php
dynamic_sidebar();
?>
</ul><!--/sidebar-tabs -->
</div><!--/sidebar -->
<?php
}
What I get out of this is that regardless of what I do it is always going to pick up the default sidebar, 1l-sidebar.php, Which I don’t know how to deactivate. Below is what is in my 1l-sidebar.php
<?php
/**
* Template Name: 1 Left Sidebar (Deprecated)
*
* @package Suffusion
* @subpackage Templates
*/
get_header();
?>
<div id="main-col">
<?php if( is_category('8') ) : ?>
<?php get_sidebar('cvs'); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php
suffusion_page_navigation();
suffusion_before_begin_content();
?>
<div id="content">
<?php
global $post;
if (have_posts()) {
while (have_posts()) {
the_post();
$original_post = $post;
do_action('suffusion_before_post', $post->ID, 'blog', 1);
?>
<article <?php post_class(); ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<?php suffusion_after_begin_post(); ?>
<div class="entry-container fix">
<div class="entry fix">
<?php suffusion_content(); ?>
</div><!--/entry -->
<?php
// Due to the inclusion of Ad Hoc Widgets the global variable $post might have got changed. We will reset it to the original value.
$post = $original_post;
suffusion_after_content();
?>
</div><!-- .entry-container -->
<?php suffusion_before_end_post(); ?>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
</article><!--/post -->
<?php
do_action('suffusion_after_post', $post->ID, 'blog', 1);
}
}
?>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
And here is where I got the codes I listed in the first post on this page. I don’t know where to place the 2nd code the person provided and I already commented on the post asking where, but haven’t gotten a response.
