    Hi,

    Im using Catalyst theme and trying to use Car Demon plugin.
    It shows up, but on Car demon page (cars-for-sale) for example, there will not show sidebar and other modules what should be shown.

    I understand, that car demon uses its own css. But some of the div-s are missing if I view it with firebug.
    Maybe I can add that plugin inside “functions.php”. Maybe someone can help me to do it.

    Hi Reneo,

    I’m the Car Demon PlugIn author and I’d be more than happy to assist you.

    I don’t have an experience with the Catalyst Theme, but I can help explain what is happening.

    The Car Demon Plugin uses it own Template files (via Template Redirect) to display search, archive and vehicle pages.

    Evan Parsons has done a really nice tutorial on overriding the default templates in Car Demon;

    http://www.evanparsons.net/blog/post/2012/11/08/Overriding-Car-Demons-theme-template-and-putting-newest-cars-on-the-front-page.aspx

    We’re also beta testing a “styles” PlugIn for Car Demon that has support for several popular themes. If you’ll go to our website http://www.CarDemons.com and fill out a contact request I’ll send you the latest beta copy and if you can provide us with access to your Theme files we’ll help you to create styles to match your Theme.

    Thanks for the quick answer.

    I saw that tutorial. But that Catalyst files (index, footer, page and so on) they only include one row code “catalyst_framework();”.

    I modified the original cars-for-sale page. I got sidebar there, but still some modules and divs arent showd up. Do I really need to add the Catalyst template all codeblock to that cars-for-sale page?

    Thank!

    I hate to say it, but my lack of familiarity with that Theme is a bit of a roadblock to providing a solution.

    Maybe someone more familiar with Catalyst will be so kind as to pop in and lend some advice?

    Okei, but Is it possible to include that plugin inside functions.php?
    If yes, maybe you can give me example:P

    I’m afraid the PlugIn is a bit too complicated to drop into the functions file.

    The easiest route to take would be to build custom Template files to match your Theme. Can you send me a link to the site you’re working on?
