Template File For Single Activity?
-
What template file is used to display the screen you land on when clicking the “view” link on a single entry?
I have a left and a right sidebar on my site, and would like to add them to this page as well, but can’t seem to figure out which template file it is. I’m fearing that it’s activity/entry.php, in which case, how would I add sidebars to that w/o it messing with how entries display in the listing of activity items?
Example: http://www.riotcart.com/activity vs. http://www.riotcart.com/members/justbishop/activity/4346
(I need the 2nd example to also be between the 2 sidebars, not to mention how it screws up the admin bar, so I need to fix that too!)

Sorry, forgot about the sidebar issue
The easiest way to duplicate the layout of your site pages in permalink.php is to copy page.php and replace the contents in that file with the contents from permalink.php, keeping the container structure and sidebar calls from page.php intact, then rename that new file permalink.php to overwrite the old one. Keep a backup of your original permalink.php in case stuff gets screwed up

EDIT – pcwriter, didn’t see you there. Bad habit of mine to take phone calls and chatting first before answering forum post
@mercime Thanks for the link…
@justbishop There’s your backup.EDIT: just saw your edit… hi!
Alrighty, after lots of headache, I think i have the activity in between the sidebars and looking OK. Now I just have the admin bar width issue to figure out
== I think i have the activity in between the sidebars and looking OK. ==
Confirming that it’s looking good
== I just have the admin bar width issue to figure out ==
The adminbar in that permalink page is styled like so in bp-default adminbar.css
` body#bp-default.activity-permalink #wp-admin-bar .padder {
min-width: 960px;
max-width: 960px;
}`
I see you have a fixed width of 1000px for your site. So if you have custom.css listed after the @import of adminbar.css, just add this
` body#bp-default.activity-permalink #wp-admin-bar .padder {
min-width: 1000px;
max-width: 1000px;
}`
but if you use stylesheet listed before @import of adminbar.css, you’d have to add `!important` to your min-width and max-widthYou should also correct the width of the site when in permalink view
` body.activity-permalink {
min-width: 960px;
max-width: 960px;
}`
change to 1000pxThanks for the help! Not sure if this was the intent, but tossing your 2nd snippet into my main style.css seems to have done the trick
Just checked too. Like @mercime said, adding the !important param to css style rules sometimes helps when you just can’t tighten up the specificity any more.
If you ever run into a jam where the !important thing just doesn’t cut it, try “weighting” the specificity of the element you’re trying to style. Here’s a simple set of guidelines to help get you started: http://htmldog.com/guides/cssadvanced/specificity/
