I've been tinkering around and I followed this post....
http://forums.themeshaper.com/topic/how-can-i-add-multiple-subsidiaries#post-15033
and was able to ad a 4th, 5th and 6th sub area. The 4th one is showing up and I'm able to style the CSS for it, But the 5th and sixth is not. Here is my code from my functions.php..
//
// register the 4th widget area...
function add_fourth_subsidiary(){
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => '4th Subsidiary Aside',
'id' => '4th-subsidiary-aside',
'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widgetcontainer %2$s">',
'after_widget' => "",
'before_title' => thematic_before_title(),
'after_title' => thematic_after_title(),
));
}
add_action('init','add_fourth_subsidiary');
// output the sidebar after the third subsidiary area
function output_fourth_subsidiary(){
if ( is_sidebar_active('4th-subsidiary-aside') ) { // there are active widgets for this aside
echo '<div id="fourth" class="aside sub-aside">'. "\n" . '<ul class="xoxo">' . "\n";
dynamic_sidebar('4th-subsidiary-aside');
echo '' . "\n" . '</div><!-- #fourth .aside -->'. "\n";
do_action('widget_area_4th_subsidiary_aside');
}
}
add_action('thematic_after_third_sub', 'output_fourth_subsidiary');
//
//
// register the 5th widget area...
function add_fifth_subsidiary(){
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => '5th Subsidiary Aside',
'id' => '5th-subsidiary-aside',
'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widgetcontainer %2$s">',
'after_widget' => "",
'before_title' => thematic_before_title(),
'after_title' => thematic_after_title(),
));
}
add_action('init','add_fifth_subsidiary');
// output the sidebar after the fourth subsidiary area
function output_fifth_subsidiary(){
if ( is_sidebar_active('5th-subsidiary-aside') ) { // there are active widgets for this aside
echo '<div id="fifth" class="aside sub-aside">'. "\n" . '<ul class="xoxo">' . "\n";
dynamic_sidebar('5th-subsidiary-aside');
echo '' . "\n" . '</div><!-- #fifth .aside -->'. "\n";
do_action('widget_area_5th_subsidiary_aside');
}
}
add_action('thematic_after_fourth_sub', 'output_fifth_subsidiary');
//
//
// register the 6th widget area...
function add_sixth_subsidiary(){
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => '6th Subsidiary Aside',
'id' => '6th-subsidiary-aside',
'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widgetcontainer %2$s">',
'after_widget' => "",
'before_title' => thematic_before_title(),
'after_title' => thematic_after_title(),
));
}
add_action('init','add_sixth_subsidiary');
//
// output the sidebar after the fifth subsidiary area
function output_sixth_subsidiary(){
if ( is_sidebar_active('6th-subsidiary-aside') ) { // there are active widgets for this aside
echo '<div id="sixth" class="aside sub-aside">'. "\n" . '<ul class="xoxo">' . "\n";
dynamic_sidebar('6th-subsidiary-aside');
echo '' . "\n" . '</div><!-- #sixth .aside -->'. "\n";
do_action('widget_area_6th_subsidiary_aside');
}
}
add_action('thematic_after_fifth_sub', 'output_sixth_subsidiary');
and my CSS codes...
#subsidiary {
width:990px;
margin:0 auto;
overflow:visible;
}
#subsidiary .aside {
width:300px;
float:left;
margin:5px;
}
#subsidiary #first {
background-color: #CCC;
}
