   Here we go -

   I am trying to set up on Avisio a front page with a sidebar assigned to it through the theme settings. Similar to the way you can set up a static page in Habitat (which I bought, later realizing the limitations of that theme's slideshow.)

   I set everything up in the backend but the page is not displaying as expected. Any ideas

   Hey,
   adding sidebar to Avisio homepage isn't possible without major modifications (someone already tried to add it in this thread: http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-add-sidebar-to-homepage)

   It took a little hustle but here is what you need to do if you want a sidebar on Avisio. I adapted the code on the other thread and changed a few other files.

   1) Replace your index.php file with this:

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   <div class="wrapper wrapper_shadow ie6fix" id='wrapper_featured_area'>
   <div class='overlay_top ie6fix'></div>
   <div class='overlay_bottom ie6fix'></div>
   <div class="center ie6fix">
   <!-- ###################################################################### -->
   <div class="feature_wrap">
   <!-- ###################################################################### -->
   <?php
   //this class creates the slideshow
   // SET SLIDER OPTIONS
   $slideshow = new kclass_display_slideshow();
   $slideshow->setQueryType('slideshow');
   $slideshow->setQueryNumber($k_option['slideshow']['feature_count']);
   $slideshow->setSlideshowSize('XL');
   $slideshow->setSlideshowClass('aviaslider');
   $slideshow->setCaption('_img_excerpt');
   $slideshow->setWelcome("You can add Slides manually at your backend here or you can use the dummy content installer to create some slides for you so you see how it is done ;)");
   $slideshow->show();
   ?>
   <!-- ###################################################################### -->
   </div><!-- end featuredwrap -->
   <!-- ###################################################################### -->
   <!-- end center-->
   </div>
   <!--end wrapper-->
   </div>
   <div class="wrapper" id='wrapper_featured_stripe'>
   <div class="center">
   <?php
   
   			$slideshow->setSlideshowSize('S');
   			$slideshow->showThumbnails();
   
   			if($k_option['mainpage']['buttonText'])
   			{
   				echo '<a href="'.get_permalink($k_option['mainpage']['buttonLink']).'" class="big_button heading ie6fix">';
   				echo '<strong class="ie6fix">'.$k_option['mainpage']['buttonText'].'</strong><span class="buttonBg dynamicBg"></span></a>';
   			}
   
   		?>
   		<!-- end center-->
   </div>
   <!--end wrapper-->
   </div>
   <div class="wrapper" id='wrapper_main'>
   <div class="center">
   <div id="main">
   <div class="content">
   <div class='entry'>
   <?php
   #query the pags do display on the starting page
   if($k_option['mainpage']['mainpage_content_final'] != "")
   {
   $id_order = explode(',', $k_option['mainpage']['mainpage_content_final']);
   $args = array(
   'post_type' => 'page',
   'post__in' => $id_order
   );
   $additional_loop = new WP_Query($args);
   #sorts the array so it reflects the order selceted in the backend
   foreach($additional_loop->posts as $the_post)
   {
   foreach($id_order as $key => $value)
   {
   if($value == $the_post->ID)
   {
   $tempArray[$key] = $the_post;
   }
   }
   }
   $additional_loop->posts = $tempArray;
   #output loop
   $counter = 1;
   $firstContainer = 'fpactive_tab_content';
   $firstTab = 'fpactive_tab';
   while ($additional_loop->have_posts()) : $additional_loop->the_post();
   ?>
   <h1 class='fptab <?php echo $firstTab; ?>'><!--"> --><?php the_title(); ?><!----></h1>
   <div class='fptab_content tab<?php echo $counter. " ".$firstContainer; ?>'>
   <?php the_content('Read more'); edit_post_link('Edit', '', '');?>
   </div>
   <?php
   $firstContainer = $firstTab = "";
   $counter ++;
   endwhile;
   }
   else
   {
   echo "<h1>Welcome and Thanks for installing Avisio!</h1>";
   echo "It seems you didnt set up your frontpage by now. You can do that in your wordpress backend at Avisio Options È Mainpage Options";
   }
   ?>
   <!--end enty -->
   </div>
   </div>
   		<?php
   		$k_option['showSidebar'] = 'home';
   		get_sidebar(); ?>
   
   </div>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   2) Add the following code to your sidebar.php file around line #24 it will look like the others

   // Home page sidebars
   				if ($k_option['showSidebar'] == 'home' && dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar Home') ) : $default_sidebar = false; endif;

   3) Add the following code to widgets.php, I put mine around line #20

   register_sidebar(array(
   			'name' => 'Sidebar Home',
   			'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="box_small box widget %2$s">',
   		'after_widget' => '</div>',
   		'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',
   		'after_title' => '</h3>',
   		));

   That is it you will now have a widget area called home that displays as your sidebar. The only cavet is if there are any widgets in the "Displays Everywhere" widget area they will display there as well. I have not looked this

   Have Fun, I hope this helps out the next person.
