How do I set different template for calendar and single

[granatdesign]

I want the calendar view to be the standard one (full width), but I want the single event pages to use the default (or custom) template with widgets, etc… how do I do that?
one would think that would be a simple check somewhere, no?

Hey granatdesign. I’m sorry that we failed you here, and let this slip through the cracks. It’s back on the radar now and I’m committed to helping you get it resolved. While this is a tad outside of my technical area of expertise, I’ve got a more dev-minded member of the team on deck to take a look here shortly. Thank you for your support and patience so far.

Hi Granatdesign,

Thank you for your question. Its a good one! Sorry for delay in getting to it.

I do have an answer for this, but I would like to test on my end first to see if its still a good solution considering we’ve now released 3.0. Please bare with me and I’ll get back to you as soon as I figure it out.

Thanks again for you patience, and I’ll be back shortly.

Hey Garantdesign. Thanks for your patience here; this one is a bit outside of Neill and my area of expertise, but I’ve got another member of the team taking a look and on deck to reply this evening. Thanks again for your patience and know that we’ll get any further follow-ups back in as timely a fashion as possible (and certainly not a week as you experienced previously).

Hi granatdesign, would a snippet like this one help here? You could drop it into your theme’s functions.php or some other suitable place and modify it to suit, so that singular event posts are served by one template and all others by a different one.

thanks but I’m not sure if this is what I need — or it’s a bit over my head. When I added that to my functions file, I lost the calendar and any of the event template stuff. Only the title and sidebar showed. What I think I’m looking for is a way to have this option that is currently in your settings:

“Events template
Choose a page template to control the appearance of your calendar and event content.”

— to be split into TWO sections, like:
“Events CALENDAR template
Choose a page template to control the appearance of your calendar content.”
“SINGLE EVENT template
Choose a page template to control the appearance of your single event content.”

maybe what you sent would work, but I’m not sure how… I think the option I described above would really be helpful… thx

[granatdesign]

I just realized how to fix it…
change css
.events-archive #content {width: 100%;}
.events-archive #sidebar {display:none;}
thx
btw, I still think my suggestion could be useful… 🙂

It definitely could be useful – do feel free to go ahead and post a feature request for this:

Since it sounds like you’ve got a solution you’re happy with in the meantime though I will go ahead and close this thread out. Thanks again!
