XF 2.1 How to display sidebar on new posts and similar pages?

[djbaxter]

I can't seem to get sidebars to display on New Posts, What's New, and similar pages.

Is there a way to do this?

New posts you can target using the default display location: Forum new posts: Sidebar

What's New I don't believe there's a default location for it. Assuming I'm right you'll need to add it in manually into the template.

Template: whats_new_wrapper

At the very bottom you can add something like this:

<xf:widget key="forum_overview_forum_statistics" position="sidebar" />

You can add as many as you want:

<xf:widget key="forum_overview_forum_statistics" position="sidebar" />
<xf:widget key="forum_overview_members_online" position="sidebar" />

You can try this too:

If you got our add-ons on websites other than customizexf.com or xenforo.com, then you got them on pirated sites. If so, we suggest you remove the add-on from the server and download it from the original site. Please, support the developers and...

This does not appear to work on any of the 2.1.2 forums I admin.

Not a style issue since it doesn't work even in the XF default style.

I asked this a while back. I think it only applies if you have New Posts as your home page maybe?

And here is the answer:

XF 2.0 - New posts sidebar?

I have a list of widgets with the position New Posts Sidebar, however I see no sidebar in new posts. How do I get the sidebar to show?

Thank you.

By default, you won't see that page. But if you set the forums default page to "New posts", then it will appear (with those widgets) whenever you click on the "Forums" tab.
