 * 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](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](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?
