[Resolved] Is it possible to force BP to use page templates?

WP 3.5.1, BP 1.7b1.

I made a page template to exclude a sidebar:

I tested it with a normal page; it worked as expected. But then I tried it with my BP “Register” page and the page didn’t reflect the fact that I changed the template.

Is there something I can do about that? Or will I have to come up with another way to change the registration page template?

Found this thread which, as of nine months ago, indicates that what I want to do isn’t possible. Not sure if the new theme system with 1.7 should have changed anything though.

If this is indeed a missing feature and not a bug, I’ll probably do a feature request…the current system is rather unintuitive, no?

In the meantime, where would I have to go in the code to get the register and activate pages to load my anti-sidebar template?

That type of template overriding wont work yet. You would need to create a buddypress.php file in your theme folder that contains your themes page.php code and then wrap the sidebar with an if is not register page statement.
