Need help with dynamic sidebar
-
I’m helping a friend of mine combine her sidebar into a single file – used to be 1 for homepage (not front page) and 1 for the single, archive etc. This is what I’ve done so far.
<div class="rightside"> <?php /* singular affects is_single(), is_page() or is_attachment() */ if ( is_single() || is_page() || is_search() || is_404() ) { ?> <div class="categories"> <h2><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory');?>/images/categories-h2.jpg" alt="Categories" /></h2> <ul><?php wp_list_categories('title_li=0');?></ul> </div> <div class="video"> <h2><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory');?>/images/video.jpg" alt="Video of the Month" /></h2> <p><?php vsf_show_video();?></p> <?php query_posts('showposts=1&cat=1'); ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3> <?php endwhile; ?> </div> <div class="calendar"> <div class="cal"> <?php sidebarEventsCalendar();?> </div> </div> <div class="ads"> <!--adsense#sidebar--> </div> <?php } else { ?> <div class="video"> <h2><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory');?>/images/video.jpg" alt="Video of the Month" /></h2> <p><?php vsf_show_video();?></p> <?php query_posts('showposts=1&cat=1'); ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3> <?php endwhile; ?> </div> <div class="calendar"> <div class="cal"> <?php sidebarEventsCalendar();?> </div> </div> <div class="ads"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-0097541961472805"; /* Pinkspace 300x250, created 12/2/07 */ google_ad_slot = "9760896219"; google_ad_width = 300; google_ad_height = 250; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </div> <?php } ?> <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?> <?php endif; ?> </div>How’s it suppose to work is, the Else properties should execute on is_home(). I’ve switched this around but noticed even single posts/pages displayed the is_home content.
So what I did was switched the code around to test again, but this time I used what is pasted above. Then I came about another problem, if I added is_archive OR is_category to the IF (which I need to declare), even the homepage displays IF code instead of the else.

Could someone help me out here? Thanks.
