Adding a Custom Page Template into Warp Theme for bbPress

1 Views

(This post has been submitted on the Yootheme forums but I don’t have as much confidence in a solution so I thought I’d post it here too.)

I’m using the Nano theme from Yoothemes and its working great for 90% of my site. http://dofekit.org However I’ve just installed the bbPress forum plugin (not on the live site, but a local version) and I have created 2 ‘forums’. The forum index page and all sub-pages seem to be inserted into a standard Nano page template. This is not suitable for the forum as it includes the page meta information and also I see no way of turning off ‘sidebar-a’ for the forums as my screenshot demonstrates.

Is there a way of creating a separate template for the forum post type within the yoothemes framework? ( I know its kind of proprietary but I can but ask)

Thanks.

UPDATE:

I’m part of the way there. I’ve manged to make separate templates for my forum post types like so, but I still need to get the custom post types to be acknowledged in the widget settings.

I’ve added the custom post types in warp/systems/wordpress3.0/layouts/content.php 

if (is_home()) {
    $content = 'index';
} elseif (is_page()) {
    $content = 'page';
} elseif (is_attachment()) {
    $content = 'attachment';
} elseif ((is_single()) && (get_post_type() == 'forum')) {
    $content = 'forum-single';
}elseif ((is_single()) && (get_post_type() == 'topic')) {
    $content = 'topic-single';
} elseif (is_single()) {
    $content = 'single';
} elseif (is_search()) {
    $content = 'search';
}elseif ((is_archive()) && (get_post_type() == 'forum')) {
    $content = 'forum-archive';
} elseif (is_archive() && is_author()) {
    $content = 'author';
} elseif (is_archive()) {
    $content = 'archive';
} elseif (is_404()) {
    $content = '404';
}

I’ve also added these custom post types into
warp/systems/wordpress3.0/config/layouts/fields/profile.php
in an effort to get them to appear in the dropdown lists on each widget. (I want to be able to toggle widgets on these new custom templates.) 

$defaults = array(
    'home'    => 'Home',
    'archive' => 'Archive',
    'search'  => 'Search',
    'single'  => 'Single',
    'page'    => 'Pages',
    'forum-archive' => 'Forum List',
    'forum-single' => 'Forum Single',
    'topic-single' => 'Topic Single'
);

Can anyone please help? I think I’m almost there with this.

  1. You should be able to handle this using a WordPress Template for your custom post type for single post display.

    For example if your custom post type is called “product” create a template called single-product.php e.g. single-{post_type}.php

    This solution should work irrespective of Yoothemes framework, Let me know if that works!

  2. i’m not shure if my answer can help you but…

    My code add the Custom Taxonomy categories to the widget position…

    I edit the file warp/systems/wordpress/config/layouts/fields/style.php

    and I add this lines for each custom taxonomy =) 

    // set Eventos cate
    if ($categories = get_categories(array('hide_empty' => 0, 'name' => 'select_name', 'post_type' => 'event', 'taxonomy'  => 'event-category'))) {
        $options[] = '<optgroup label="Eventos | Categorias">';

        foreach ($categories as $category) {
            $val        = 'cat-'.$category->cat_ID;
            $attributes = in_array($val, $selected) ? array('value' => $val, 'selected' => 'selected') : array('value' => $val);
            $options[]  = sprintf('<option %s />%s</option>', $control->attributes($attributes), $category->cat_name);
        }

        $options[] = '</optgroup>';                  
    }

    Here… my postype is “event” and my taxonomy is “event-category” in the list of the widget position now you can see all the Categories or Terms of the Taxonomy and y label it with “Eventos | Categorias” for a better identification.

    Ok this is only one part of the code and maybe you can take this like a point to start. Now i just can display and list this terms but still nok working 🙁

    so… tnks for the comments and sorry for my english 😛
