Installer Add custom Widget Sidebar
Hi,
I bought the vatage Theme yesterday.
For my community I need to have another Sidebar.
I read throughthe WP Codex and followed the instructions, but I didn´t manage to add a Sidebar.
At first I set up another teplate. Therefor I copied the page.php and renamed it to “buddypress.php”. I added Template Name: buddypresss after the php tag.
I changed get_sidebar(); to get_sidebar(‘buddy’) and tried different methodes to bring my instrallation to show another sidebar.
I saved it to the vantage/template folder. I was able to select it in the Template drop down then.
I registered it in the functions.php. The widget area shows up in “Dashboard->Widgets” but I was not able to display it on the page I wanted.
Let me say that I´m a WP noob. So I don´t know what to do now to get on with that.

5Forgot ..I also copied the sidebar.php and renamed it to sidebar-buddy.php where i call dynamic_sidebar( ‘buddy’ ) in line 13 then instead of the normal one.
Hi. Please don’t forget that any files you change must be contained within a child theme so they aren’t overwritten the next time you update Vantage.
That sounds fine. Where have you included sidebar-buddy.php though? That’s just a template part, not a complete template file.
Hmm, nowhere I guess. I tired it with “include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/sidebar-buddy.php’)” but without efford.
..in buddypress.php of course…
Please send me a copy of the edited/new files and buddpress.php to [email protected] and I’ll take a look.
