Creating a Simple Custom Page Template

[jbendiner]

I am trying to create a CPT for my portfolio display.
All I need is a full width layout for now.
I added a new file called page_portfolio.php with the following basic code:

<?php
/**
* This file adds the Portfolio template to the Parallax Pro Theme.
*/

/*
Template Name: Portfolio
*/

// Force full width page layout
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

//* Run the Genesis loop
genesis();

I then created a page and selected the Portfolio template I create above.
When i display it it does not show it full width:

What did I miss here?
Thanks

Use the full width Layout Settings on every Edit Page screen.

Or

Add this to the file:

add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

Hi Brad,
If you check the php file I created, it does include the statement you suggest (in fact I followed an article you wrote on this subject..). My file is called template_portfolio.php and the template is created, but doesn't display full width. The php code is as follows:

<?php
/**
* This file adds the Portfolio template to the Parallax Pro Theme.
*/

/*
Template Name: Portfolio
*/

// Force full width page layout
add_filter( ‘genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout’, ‘__genesis_return_full_width_content’ );

//* Run the Genesis loop
genesis();

Thanks
Jerry

And the Layout Settings on the Edit Page?

It is set to header+ no sidebars...

if i select that one it displays the default layout: content+widget
I want no widgets - full width, that is why I selected the fourth layout in your picture
Not working.... as you can see it displays the page without widgets, but not full width

[jbendiner]

Sorry, I mean I selected the sixth layout in your picture (header+no sidebar)

[Brad Dalton]

Very strange as that normally works.

I may have found the problem Brad.
I think (need to confirm it) that in the Parallax theme the width you see in my example is the full width.
It does not cover the entire width as we would expect.

I say that because I checked the landing page in the demo:
http://my.studiopress.com/themes/parallax/#demo-full

And then I checked the corresponding php for the landing page in the theme:
It includes the full width statement:

//* Force full width content layout
add_filter( 'genesis_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

From this I deduct that at least in this theme the full width is narrower.
If so, is there a place in the THEME files where the full width size can be adjusted?

Thank you for your feedback.
Jerry

You can change the width in the style sheet under the Structure and Layout section.

Solved the problem!
It was the padding settings for the full-width layout in style.css - rows 1289-1291

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing your solution.
