Custom Sidebar only on the homepage
« on: October 09, 2013, 04:23:11 am »

I know that I have to creat a new div and place it in theme.php under sidebar or page footer function to show only on the index page but I gived width: 60%; float: left; to #cpg_main_block_outer and width: 40%; float: right; to my new sidebar div.

the problem now is #cpg_main_block_outer (gallery main div with categories and albums) is 60% on every page.

I think I'm using the wrong way.
Is there a way to have a custom sidebar only on the index.php page?

I know I ask a lot a questions but I'm creating a theme VERY FANCY and VERY DIFFRENT from a coppermine theme.
I will post it for free download on the forum.

I assume you currently added the new div block to the template.html file? If so, replace it completely with a new custom token like {MY_NEW_DIV}. Now we're able to replace that token with the help of the function pageheader.

yes I know that but #cpg_main_block_outer is 60% on every page.

how can I make him show 60% width on the index page and 100% width on all other pages?
 without width: 60%; float: left; or just float: left; for #cpg_main_block_outer the sidebar is showing above the div not to the left.

Instead of hard-coding the width you also need to use a token.

I don't know where exactly you added your CSS code. Either please describe it more detailed or attach your theme to your next reply.

is the curve theme that I edit.
I just added to function pageheader in theme.php:

Code: [Select]
global $CPG_PHP_SELF;
    $superCage = Inspekt::makeSuperCage();
    if ($CPG_PHP_SELF == 'index.php' && !count($superCage->get->_source)) {
        $template_vars['{MY_NEW_DIV}'] = <<< EOT
  <div id="divS">
   
  </div>
EOT;
    } else {
        $template_vars['{MY_NEW_DIV}'] = '';
    }

and {MY_NEW_DIV} before:

Code: [Select]
<div id="cpg_main_block_outer">
        <div class="cpg_main_block_inner">
            {GALLERY}
            <br /> <!-- workaround for issue 64492 - do not remove the line break! -->
        </div>
    </div>

and this to style.css

Code: [Select]
#divS {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
color: #000000;
        background-color: #cccccc;
        float: right;
        width: 40%;
        height: 450px;
        background-image: url(../image/ad.jpg);
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

and curve theme has #cpg_header_block_outer style for the gallery div:

Code: [Select]
#cpg_header_block_outer  {
    background-color: #fefefe;
    background-image: none;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-attachment: scroll;
    background-position: 0pt -633px;
    padding-left: 20px;
}

As I said: remove the hard-coded width: 60%; from cpg_header_block_outer. Instead, add a new token to template.html and replace it in theme.php, like
Code: [Select]
<div id="cpg_main_block_outer" style="{CPG_MAIN_BLOCK_OUTER_STYLE}">

soory but I dont understand much.
I added the code: in function pageheader under :

Code: [Select]
global $CPG_PHP_SELF;
    $superCage = Inspekt::makeSuperCage();
    if ($CPG_PHP_SELF == 'index.php' && !count($superCage->get->_source)) {
        $template_vars['{MY_NEW_DIV}'] = <<< EOT
  <div id="divS">
   
  </div>
EOT;
    } else {
        $template_vars['{MY_NEW_DIV}'] = '';
    }

but: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/allvip/public_html/allvip.us/cpgz/themes/zimbio/theme.php on line 1158

with:

Code: [Select]
global $CPG_PHP_SELF;
    $superCage = Inspekt::makeSuperCage();
    if ($CPG_PHP_SELF == 'index.php' && !count($superCage->get->_source)) {
        $template_vars['{CPG_MAIN_BLOCK_OUTER_STYLE}'] = <<< EOT
  <div id="cpg_main_block_outer" style="{CPG_MAIN_BLOCK_OUTER_STYLE}">
EOT;
    } else {
        $template_vars['{CPG_MAIN_BLOCK_OUTER_STYLE}'] = '';
    }

and {CPG_MAIN_BLOCK_OUTER_STYLE} before:

Code: [Select]
<div id="cpg_main_block_outer">
        <div class="cpg_main_block_inner">
            {GALLERY}
            <br /> <!-- workaround for issue 64492 - do not remove the line break! -->
        </div>
    </div>

and a new style in style.css:

Code: [Select]
#cpg_header_block_outer_style  {
    background-color: #fefefe;
    background-image: none;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-attachment: scroll;
    background-position: 0pt -633px;
    padding-left: 20px;
    width: 60%;
    float: left;
}

and nothing happens.

you got that error because the template output, you put this:

Code: [Select]
<div id= {CPG_MAIN_BLOCK_OUTER_STYLE}>
when it replaced the token, you get this:

Code: [Select]
<div id = <div id="cpg_main_block_outer" style="{CPG_MAIN_BLOCK_OUTER_STYLE}">>

to avoid the error in the output template, place it so
Code: [Select]
{CPG_MAIN_BLOCK_OUTER_STYLE}
when the token is replaced, it will show this:
Code: [Select]
<div id="cpg_main_block_outer" style="{CPG_MAIN_BLOCK_OUTER_STYLE}">
since this is what you want for
Code: [Select]
$template_vars['{CPG_MAIN_BLOCK_OUTER_STYLE}'] = <<< EOT
  <div id="cpg_main_block_outer" style="{CPG_MAIN_BLOCK_OUTER_STYLE}">
EOT;

{CPG_MAIN_BLOCK_OUTER_STYLE} is token to apply a new style to div cpg_main_block_outer
right?
so I create a new style in style.css .cpg_main_block_outer_style with the same name like the token and width: 60%; float: left;

but nothing

Now I'm out and I can not see pageheader function, I can only write in the forum.

To see the style you added in your CSS, you need this:

<div id="cpg_main_block_outer" class="cpg_main_block_outer_style">
