Help with theme compatibility

Hi,

while Sabai is added via shortcode and basically fits into any theme page content (and it stays there), GeoDirectory creates it’s own templates with sidebars and extra widget areas.

The 1st thing that you need to do to make GD templates compatible with the theme templates is to tell GD which theme classes to use to replicate the template as closely as possible.

The 1st example (assuming you know how to use Firebug) is to determine which class the theme uses in its template to wrap the content.

Looking at your about page: http://www.psi9.com/directory/about/ I can see it is container-inner.

Now you can go to GeoDirectory >> Theme Compatibility, select custom and save (this will create your own theme compatibility)

Where it says Main Wrapper Actions > geodir_wrapper_open in the Class field add: container-inner and save.

If you refresh this page now : http://www.psi9.com/directory/location/ you will see that the template is wrapped like any other part of the theme.

You can go to appearance >> widgets and set the Home map to 100% in the width field that wil adjust the map.

Now you can decide if you wish to make the GD templates look as simlar as possible to the themes templates and continue as explained above.

Otherwise you could do a custom work with new css to adjust that without going to much into details.

In that case this CSS would almost do it all:

#geodir-wrapper {
    background: #fff none repeat scroll 0 0;
}

Hope this helps… let us know how you went.

Thanks

It is really totally up to you.

If you need to have GD templates look identical to the theme templates you may also have to add some extra html to get it all right.

You can have a look at other themes compatibility settings for inspiration and we are here if you get stuck.

Let us know how you went.

Thanks!
