   I'm using WP e-Commerce to set up a shop but having trouble getting my sidebar to display on the single product pages.
   I'm using a Thematic Child theme.
   I've copied over the shop template files and had a look at the single product template but this only contains everthing within the 'single_product_page_container' div. I need to pull in the sidebar below the contaciner div...
   What do I need to edit?

   Ok, I've found a work around. Based on this post: http://getshopped.org/forums/topic/sidebar-not-showing-in-the-2011-theme/

   I replaced:
   

   // calling the standard sidebar
       thematic_sidebar();

   in page.php in my child theme with:
   

   if (is_active_sidebar('primary-aside')) {
   	echo thematic_before_widget_area('primary-aside');
   	dynamic_sidebar('primary-aside');
   	echo thematic_after_widget_area('primary-aside');
   }

   That did the trick.

   I had the same problem using a thematic theme child theme. The problem I found that was causing this was that the wpsc_all_products_on_page (in wpsc-includes/theme.functions.php) action that wpsc adds to the template_redirect hook exits at the end of running, therefore disabling all template_redirect actions that are scheduled to run after this action.

   Among the actions that don't run are thematic_connect_functions() on priority 10, which is why the sidebars don't show.

   I solved it by doing this (removing the action):

   function stop_wp_ecommerce_from_messing_up_wordpress() {
   	remove_action('template_redirect', 'wpsc_all_products_on_page');
   }
   add_action('template_redirect', 'stop_wp_ecommerce_from_messing_up_wordpress', 1);

   I'm not sure whether this messes up something else, I have yet to test it thoroughly. The exit() call seems like bad design.
