Blog Template – and Sidebar menu

Yes, at Blog template, so we can have a dedicated page to blog posts. Other themes have them. The one I want to migrate from has one, so I was hoping this one would too.

In the index of the theme, it’s a file called templete-blog.php.
You can select the templates when your creating a new page.

<?php
/*
Template Name: Blog
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php global $woo_options; ?>

    <!-- #content Starts -->
	<?php woo_content_before(); ?>

    <div id="title-container">
	  <h1 class="title col-full"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
	</div>

    <div id="content" class="page col-full">

        <!-- #main Starts -->
        <div id="main" class="col-left">      

		<?php if ( $woo_options[ 'woo_breadcrumbs_show' ] == 'true' ) woo_breadcrumbs(); ?>  			

        <?php if ( get_query_var('paged') ) $paged = get_query_var('paged'); elseif ( get_query_var('page') ) $paged = get_query_var('page'); else $paged = 1; ?>
        <?php query_posts("post_type=post&paged=$paged"); ?>
        <?php if (have_posts()) : $count = 0; while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $count++; ?>

            <!-- Post Starts -->
            <div <?php post_class(); ?>>

                <?php if ( $woo_options[ 'woo_post_content' ] != "content" ) woo_image('width='.$woo_options[ 'woo_thumb_w' ].'&height='.$woo_options[ 'woo_thumb_h' ].'&class=thumbnail '.$woo_options[ 'woo_thumb_align' ]); ?> 

                <h2 class="title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

                <?php woo_post_meta(); ?>

                <div class="entry">
					<?php global $more; $more = 0; ?>
                    <?php if ( $woo_options[ 'woo_post_content' ] == "content" ) the_content(__('Read More...', 'woothemes')); else the_excerpt(); ?>
                </div>
    			<div class="fix"></div>

                <div class="post-more">
					<span class="comments"><?php comments_popup_link(__('Leave a comment', 'woothemes'), __('1 Comment', 'woothemes'), __('% Comments', 'woothemes')); ?></span>
                	<?php if ( $woo_options[ 'woo_post_content' ] == "excerpt" ) { ?>
					<span class="post-more-sep">&bull;</span>
                    <span class="read-more"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php _e('Continue Reading &rarr;','woothemes'); ?>"><?php _e('Continue Reading &rarr;','woothemes'); ?></a></span>
                    <?php } ?>
                </div>   

            </div><!-- /.post -->

        <?php endwhile; else: ?>
            <div <?php post_class(); ?>>
                <p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.', 'woothemes') ?></p>
            </div><!-- /.post -->
        <?php endif; ?>  

            <?php woo_pagenav(); ?>
			<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>                

        </div><!-- /#main -->

		<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    </div><!-- /#content -->    

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Looking forward to the update.
Hopefully the re-sizing of the sidebar will work now too?
Thanks!

And FYI, and a side note:
I also removed the forced UPPERCASE in the CSS for the headers – it’s too much uppercase.
I was able to accomplish getting Blog posts on the Static homepage by adding this code:

<div id="content">

        <?php query_posts('post_type=post&post_status=publish&posts_per_page=2&paged='. get_query_var('paged')); ?>

	<?php if( have_posts() ): ?>

        <?php while( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>

	    <div id="post-<?php get_the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>

        	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail( array(200,220) ); ?></a>

                <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

		<?php the_content(__('Continue reading »','example')); ?>

            </div><!-- /#post-<?php get_the_ID(); ?> -->

        <?php endwhile; ?>

	<?php else: ?>

		<div id="post-404" class="noposts">

		    <p><?php _e('None found.','example'); ?></p>

	    </div><!-- /#post-404 -->

	<?php endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>

Another side note, for me, there’s a TON of things on the menu, so I added overflow to be scrolled. If (for some weird reason) someone wanted to open up all the menus, you were unable to see the bottom half.

.primary-navigation {
    display: block;
    overflow-y: auto;
    max-height: 500px;
}

I’m also working on adding a 100px~ margin at the top that will use the same picture as the sidebar. ie, so that white doesn’t go all the way to the top.
Example: http://i.imgur.com/7gzm55c.png

Still waiting for the update to be pushed through; thanks again!

Got the update.
There was still some weird stuff that was happening around 1024 and 992 pixels. I think I got it fixed by editing some of CSS myself. In my case, the menu primary-navigation wasn’t displaying from 992 to 1024. Also, AT the exact pixel width of 993 (I think), the sidebar was not 100% width or height, so it was only taking up the top-left corner, and the content was sitting in the bottom-right corner.

Otherwise, loving the theme, thank you!
