Multinews Compability – new issues

Hi,

I’ve flagged this for the developers.

Thanks

The gap in the widget area happens every time when on a GD page you chose a layout different than one sidebar. There is no option to make a page without a sidebar or with two sidebars
One of my issues 😉

Thanks!

Hi, Stiofan and krh!

There are two places, where we have to choose the page layout – 1) in GD Design and 2) in the page itself (custom layout of the page HAS TO BE be ON in case the standard layout of the site is different than the one the wanted for the page)

Multinews keeps the formatting only in these cases:
1) In GD you have to choose only a Right sidebar and in the page you have to chose only a Right sidebar
2) In GD – only left sidebar and in page – only a left sidebar
3) In GD – left and right and in page left and right

Be careful with the percents on the theme settings!

If you try to use in the page layout 2 sidebars to the left, or 2 sidebars to the right, or no sidebars (even with 100% content in GD), or any other non matching combination, different than the above 3 mentioned, strange things happen with the formatting.

Even thought the theme allows it, you cannot choose a different than a GD sidebar

I personally can live with that for the moment, but it frustrates me a bit that for example I cannot switch the add-listing and gd-info pages at 100% content, without sidebars

Yes, I can send you my credentials, if you still need them and don’t have the Multinews theme to check on your server

@alexander some themes do things differently and for multinews we did this approach, it works as it’s standard right sidebar and it works as left sidebar, to do more would take much more theme compatibility settings but we can look at that if you want, our aim of theme compatibility is to work with the standard layout.

Thanks,

Stiofan

For the sidebars, just keep the standard GD settings of right sidebar and use the theme settings to change, GD should follow the main theme settings if u use left or right.

I am not sure what u mean about the breadcrumbs?

Hi!
– Sidebars – You can only choose a 2 sidebars sidebar in these sections – Home page, Listings page(or CPT’s), Search page. For the moment I can’t find a possibility for 2 sidebars on the detail page. It might be useful, though
– Breadcrumbs – yes, there is no other visible title of the listing, except the one at the breadcrumbs (or at least I can’t find one) Sad but true! Leave them on
