help with single pages page type

Permalink
Hi,

My theme uses two page types: full width and default (which is a right sidebar). My problem is that my single pages use the default.php which makes pages like register and login look rather silly with the sidebar there.
How would I make these single pages use the full.php instead of the default.php?

I have tried the simple option of removing the "colright" code in the default.php but this removes the sidebar for my home page as well (which I don't want!!)

Any help would be awesome,

Cheers.

Single pages don't use default.php, they use view.php. Your view.php file is probably set up similarly to your default.php template, though, and that's why it looks that way.

So changing your view.php template to be more like the full template and less like the default should give you what you want.

For others that might stumble in here via Google.

You can also create a unique "page type" / layout for a single page by including a theme file with the same name as the single page.

Here's some more information on the drawbacks though:http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/themes/single-page-templa...
