   This is my first post here and so far I'm really enjoying working with Thematic!

   What I'm trying to do:

   • create a child theme based on 2c-r-fixed.css
   • all of the site will have the sidebar, except posts, which will be single column, with the full 960 (940) width
   • I'd be happy to add a function / filter to the child theme's functions.php or set up alt style sheets for the child theme but I can't get it to work yet

   What I've tried

   • adapting instructions from here: How to remove the sidebar from a certain page? - this is for a single page and I can't figure out how to adapt it to apply to all posts (i.e. is_single())
   • hopelessly and fruitlessly messing around with template files by copying over header.php into the child theme folder - is there some filter I can add to thematic_body_class() that applies only to single posts?
   • from this post : How do I define a custom CSS file per page template? I tried to define an alternate css file that's similar to style.css but does not import 2c-r-fixed.css but instead includes definitions for #container and #content to be 960 and 940 px. I couldn't get this to work, I think partly because I don't know how to set up the directory structure to correspond with this part of the code:

   $content .= get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') . "/alternate.css";

   I know there's an easy solution to this but I'm stumped!

   Thanks in advance!

   After taking a break and coming back to dig around the forum some more I found this:
   Sidebar Content Sidebar Layout

   Adding the following code to my child theme functions.php file got it working as intended Phew!

   
function my_stylesheet($content) {
if (is_single()) {
$content = "\t";
$content .= "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"";
$content .= get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') . "/styles/alternate.css";
$content .= "\" />";
$content .= "\n\n";
} else {
$content = "\t";
$content .= "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"";
$content .= get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') . "style.css";
$content .= "\" />";
$content .= "\n\n";
}
return $content;
}
add_filter ('thematic_create_stylesheet', 'my_stylesheet');
