Don't show sidebar in Gridview

[Ruben]

I know, there are similar topics to this one. However, none of them helped me enough.

My problem is: On http://www.hanselmann-faessler.ch/termine/monat/ the calendar is showing fine. But if you switch to the next month (http://www.hanselmann-faessler.ch/termine/2012-02), there are more events and the calendar doesn’t fit on the page anymore. So, I would like to hide the sidebar. But only in Gridview, not for single event-pages.

Could anyone please give me the exact code and the place I got to enter it? I know a bit about adjusting themes and plugins but I’m not exactly an expert in PHP and HTML.

Thanks in advance, it’s kind of urgent.

Hey Ruben. No problem; I believe I understand what you’re trying to do. I can get our dev Jonah to take a look this afternoon & see if he has any suggestions to offer up here. Stay tuned.

Hi Ruben,

The solution for this is dependent on your theme and it is kind of complex. First off you’re going to want to modify your body classes so you can specifically target certain pages. You can try something along these lines but your theme might have a different body class filter in which case you’ll need to adjust. Try adding this to your themes functions.php file:


/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* Adds new body classes for events pages
/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
add_filter('body_class', 'add_browser_classes');
function add_browser_classes($classes){
if(tribe_is_event() && !tribe_is_day() && !is_single()) {
$classes[] = 'events-list';
}
if(tribe_is_month()) {
$classes[] = 'events-grid';
}
if(tribe_is_event() && !tribe_is_day() && is_single()) {
$classes[] = 'single-event';
}

return $classes;
}


Once you’ve got that in place and working our task becomes much easier because then you can define specific CSS for each type of events page and modify the width of your main content area, hide the sidebar, etc…

So for instance on the calendar grid view you would use something like this in your CSS to change the layout:


.events-grid #content {
width: 770px;
}

.events-grid #sidebar {
display: none;
}


Does that help?

Didn’t get it working. My functions.php looks like this:

<li id=”comment-“><div id="div-comment-“>

<?php echo get_avatar($comment,$size='36',$default='’ ); ?>

// <a class="date" href="#comment-” title=”Permanent Link to this comment”>

comment_approved == ‘0’) : ?>
Your comment is awaiting moderation.

‘div-comment’, ‘depth’ => $depth, ‘max_depth’ => $args[‘max_depth’]))) ?>

<?php }
// end comment callback function (note: no need to close with )

Enabling this checkbox will create an Archives Page, which will show up in your blog menu as the first page.

And where do I put the second part? events.css of your plugin?

It is now kind of urgent as February is just around the corner. Would appreciate some further help. If it is easier to disable the sidebar in the calendar completely (not only gridview but also single events and so on), I would maybe switch to that solution.

[Jonah]

Hey Ruben, can you paste this code @ http://pastebin.com/ – hard to read here…

You needed to add the first code to your functions.php file and the second CSS code would go into your events.css or style.css stylesheet files.

[Ruben]

Hey Jonah

With help from a friend, I managed it. Here’s how:

I duplicated the theme’s page.php and renamed it to page_nosidebar.php. Inside the page_nosidebar.php I deleted the “php get sidebar”. I then told the plugin to use the nosidebar-theme.

Additionally, I set the position to relative and the width to 770px. Only problem: The footer is now just below the header. But fortunately, the footer is just behind the calendar-title.

[Jonah]

Great to hear, let us know if you need anything else with this.
