[Plugin: All-in-One Event Calendar] Need Event Detail page full width?

@josjo
That’s a very kind offer:

This is page.php from the Cotton template:

<?php
/**
 * Default page template - all the pages by default use this template unless another page template has been assigned.
 */
get_header();

if(have_posts()){
	while(have_posts()){
		the_post();
		//get all the page data needed and set it to an object that can be used in other files
		$pex_page=new stdClass();
		$pex_page->subtitle=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'subtitle_value', true);
		$pex_page->intro=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'intro_value', true);
		$pex_page->slider=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'slider_value', $single = true);
		$pex_page->slider_prefix=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'slider_name_value', true);
		if($pex_page->slider_prefix=='default'){
			$pex_page->slider_prefix='';
		}
		$pex_page->layout=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'layout_value', true);
		if($pex_page->layout==''){
			$pex_page->layout='right';
		}
		$pex_page->show_title=get_opt('_show_page_title');
		$pex_page->sidebar=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'sidebar_value', $single = true);
		if($pex_page->sidebar==''){
			$pex_page->sidebar='default';
		}
		$pex_page->carousel=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'carousel_value', true);
		$pex_page->carousel_title=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'carouselTitle_value', true);

		//include the before content template
		locate_template( array( 'includes/html-before-content.php'), true, true );
    	wp_reset_postdata();
    if($pex_page->show_title!='off'){?>

   	<h1 class="page-heading"><?php the_title(); ?></h1><hr/>
    <?php }

the_content();
	}
}
//include the after content template
locate_template( array( 'includes/html-after-content.php'), true, true );

get_footer();
?>

I also think the page code in my previous post is for wrong single.php and the single.php code for Cotton theme is actually as follows:

<?php
global $spEvents;
$spEvents->loadDomainStylesScripts();
get_header();
?>
	<div id="tec-content" class="tec-event widecolumn">
	<?php the_post(); global $post; ?>
			<div id="post-<?php the_ID() ?>" <?php post_class() ?>>
				<span class="back"><a href="<?php echo events_get_events_link(); ?>"><?php _e('« Back to Events', $spEvents->pluginDomain); ?></a></span>
				<h2 class="entry-title"><?php the_title() ?></h2>
				<a class="ical" href="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/?ical=<?php echo $post->ID; ?>"><?php _e('iCal Import', $spEvents->pluginDomain) ?></a>
				<?php if (the_event_end_date() > time()  ) { ?><small><?php  _e('This event has passed.', $spEvents->pluginDomain) ?></small> <?php } ?>
				<div id="tec-event-meta">
					<dl class="column">
						<dt><?php _e('Start:', $spEvents->pluginDomain) ?></dt>
							<dd><?php echo the_event_start_date(); ?></dd>
						<?php if (the_event_start_date() !== the_event_end_date() ) { ?>
							<dt><?php _e('End:', $spEvents->pluginDomain) ?></dt>
							<dd><?php echo the_event_end_date();  ?></dd>
						<?php } ?>
						<?php if ( the_event_cost() ) : ?>
							<dt><?php _e('Cost:', $spEvents->pluginDomain) ?></dt>
							<dd><?php echo the_event_cost(); ?></dd>
						<?php endif; ?>
					</dl>
					<dl class="column">
						<?php if(the_event_venue()) : ?>
						<dt><?php _e('Venue:', $spEvents->pluginDomain) ?></dt>
							<dd><?php echo the_event_venue(); ?></dd>
						<?php endif; ?>
						<?php if(the_event_phone()) : ?>
						<dt><?php _e('Phone:', $spEvents->pluginDomain) ?></dt>
							<dd><?php echo the_event_phone(); ?></dd>
						<?php endif; ?>
						<?php if( tec_address_exists( $post->ID ) ) : ?>
						<dt>
							<?php _e('Address:', $spEvents->pluginDomain) ?><br />
							<?php if( get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_EventShowMapLink', true ) == 'true' ) : ?>
								<?php $mapArgs = array("f"=>"q","source"=>"s_q","geocode"=>""); ?>
								<a class="gmap" href="<?php event_google_map_link( null, $mapArgs ) ?>" title="<?php _e('Click to view a Google Map', $spEvents->pluginDomain); ?>" target="_blank"><?php _e('Google Map', $spEvents->pluginDomain ); ?></a>
							<?php endif; ?>
						</dt>
							<dd>
							<?php tec_event_address( $post->ID ); ?>
							</dd>
						<?php endif; ?>
					</dl>
				</div>
				<?php if( get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_EventShowMap', true ) == 'true' ) : ?>
					<?php if( tec_address_exists( $post->ID ) ) event_google_map_embed(); ?>
				<?php endif; ?>
				<div class="entry">
					<?php the_content(); ?>
					<?php if (function_exists('the_event_ticket_form')) { the_event_ticket_form(); } ?>
				</div>
				<?php edit_post_link('Edit', '<span class="edit-link">', '</span>'); ?>
			</div><!-- post -->

		<?php if(eventsGetOptionValue('showComments','no') == 'yes'){ comments_template();} ?>

	</div><!-- tec-content -->

<?php
	get_footer();

However, I’m not concerned with the calendar view, it’s when you look at the full detail of a particular event that I’d like it displayed in full width.

Appreciate it if you can use the above to suggest something 🙂

@josjo

Bingo! You star.

Initially I got a php error, but after some digging around I found that the value for layout should be ‘full’ and not left. Now it works just as I’d hoped.

The full code for single.php if anyoe else need it is therefore:

<?php
/**
 * Single Post Template - this is the template for the single blog post.
 */
get_header();

if(have_posts()){
	while(have_posts()){
		the_post();
		//get all the page data needed and set it to an object that can be used in other files
		$pex_page=new stdClass();
		$pex_page->subtitle=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'subtitle_value', true);
		$pex_page->slider='none';
		if($post->post_type == 'ai1ec_event') {
			$pex_page->layout='full';
			$pex_page->sidebar='none';
		} else {
			$pex_page->layout=get_opt('_blog_layout');
			$pex_page->sidebar=get_opt('_blog_sidebar');
		}
		//include the before content template
		locate_template( array( 'includes/html-before-content.php'), true, true );

		//include the post template
		locate_template( array( 'includes/post-template.php'), true, false );
	}
} 

//include the comments template
comments_template(); 

//include the after content template
locate_template( array( 'includes/html-after-content.php'), true, true );

get_footer();   ?>

Many thanks again @josjo
