Sidebar on Events Pages & Community Submission Page Not Showing

[Larry Martin]

I’ve read many similar posts ant tried suggestions from this forum but haven’t been able to get this sorted.

The site is http://thecowboycalendar.com. We just updated everything to EC 3.4.1/EC Pro 3.4/Community Events 3.4 on Pagelines Platform Pro/Platform Base, and WP 3.8.1.

Our page sidebar does not show using these display settings: Tribe Events Styles/Default Events Template. The Calendar is 100% of page width.

The Calendar does not show using these display settings: Tribe Events Styles/Default Page Template, The sidebar is in its proper location, but the space for the calendar is blank.

I’ve tried other settings combinations too, to no avail.

So, a small code addition, again following suggestions. When I switch default-template.php…

FROM THIS:
get_header(); ?>
<div id=”tribe-events-pg-template”>
<?php tribe_events_before_html(); ?>
<?php tribe_get_view(); ?>
<?php tribe_events_after_html(); ?>
</div> <!– #tribe-events-pg-template –>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

TO THIS:
get_header(); ?>
<div id=”tribe-events-pg-template”>
<?php tribe_events_before_html(); ?>
<?php tribe_get_view(); ?>
<?php tribe_events_after_html(); ?>
<?php get_sidebar();?> /*GET THE SIDEBAR*/
</div> <!– #tribe-events-pg-template –>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

I get the sidebar and the Calendar, but the sidebar appears beneath the Calendar.

We need the calendar and the sidebar to appear side-by-side on the /events/ page, on the /community/add/ page and also on the individual event details pages.

Help, please.

Hi – I’m sorry that you are experiencing problems.

Please note in the first instance that, regrettably, PageLines is one of a handful of themes we can only offer very limited support for, as it falls into a grouping of themes that could be described as using an atypical structure “under the hood” (and that in no way means their approach is wrong, merely that it presents additional challenges in terms of offering support for it).

I get the sidebar and the Calendar, but the sidebar appears beneath the Calendar.

Great! It sounds then like what remains is a CSS issue. Right now it looks like you don’t have this tweak in place – perhaps you could restore it so I can take a look and see if there is indeed a convenient CSS-based solution to this.

Let me know!

Barry,
The “get_sidebar()” code is in place and you can see the result on the Events, Submit and Details pages.

If you’ll let me know where to play with the CSS, I’m on it.

Thanks,

Larry

Thanks Larry – so if you follow the steps in the Themer’s Guide and set up a custom tribe-events.css stylesheet you could start off with something like the following:

#tribe-events-pg-template #tribe-events {
    float: left;
    width: 64%;
}

#tribe-events-pg-template #sidebar-wrap {
    float: right;
    width: 32%;
}

Does that help?

[Larry Martin]

That’s gonna do it.

Thank you.

Closing this thread as it’s been quite a while – of course if we can help with anything else please do create a new thread. Thanks!
