Custom sidebar on Archive page

[Anwar]

Is it possible to load a custom sidebar on an archive page?

I create my custom sidebars using the Genesis Simple Sidebar plguin

I allready load a custom sidebar on a custom post type single page through an if statement in functions.php

Any progress on this, Anwar? I'm trying to find an answer to this as well.

Hey David,

Yes this code works like a charm:

`add_action('get_header', 'include_halalwijzer_sidebar_archive');

function include_halalwijzer_sidebar_archive() {
if ( is_post_type_archive('halalwijzer') ) {
remove_action( 'genesis_after_content', 'genesis_get_sidebar' );
add_action( 'genesis_after_content', 'halalwijzer_sidebar_archive' );
}
}

function halalwijzer_sidebar_archive() {
echo '<div id="sidebar" class="sidebar widget-area">';
dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-halalwijzer' );
echo '</div>';
}

You can name the functions any way you want. Just make sure that your dynamic sidebar, in my case 'sidebar-halalwijzer' allready exists, so you can load it.
