{serendipity_printSidebar} alternate tpl?

[Don Chambers]

Part 1:
Is it, or could it be, possible to specify an alternate tpl file for a sidebar?

What I am thinking is that I might want one sidebar.tpl as my normal, but perhaps sidebar_right.tpl for the right.

I'm thinking something like:

Code: Select all

{serendipity_printSidebar side="right" template="sidebar_right.tpl"}

Part 2:
We have the ability to create sidebar containers other than left and right.

Lets say I have a sidebars named left, bottom, right (and hide) that I have created in my template configuration. I can do {if $leftSidebarElements > 0} and the same for right, but at the moment, I cannot do {if $bottomSidebarElements > 0}.... can that become reality?

I can help you with that. Just add these two lines in your theme's config.inc.php file:

Code: Select all

$BottomSidebarElements = serendipity_plugin_api::count_plugins('bottom');

$serendipity['smarty']->assign_by_ref('BottomSidebarElements', $BottomSidebarElements);
