Opinion on approach

[eddie]

Please see the following pages, they both are the same custom post type.

1. http://smri.io/nvsu - has some additional information such as a picture and a map. The sidebar is created only if one or both has data.
2. http://smri.io/6xzd - has no additional information, so no sidebar is created.

So, my question is one of approach since I'm new to this framework. Is this a viable approach, or should I be creating a widget and populating it or something?

This is a custom post type

One of the rules of typography is to have narrow passages of long text to improve readability, however that has been unproven with some tests, though hardly empirical data. I worked with typographers before the days of Mac, and all around in print, you generally don't see long passages of text except in coffee table books, but even then it's rare. I prefer narrower columns, so the one with the sidebars or even skinny down the middle, which is some more CSS for that page. There's a way to add a slug to your page to reflect the page title.

 // Slug Body Class

function add_slug_body_class($classes)
	{
	global $post;
	if (isset($post))
		{
		$classes[] = $post->post_type . '-' . $post->post_name;
		}

	return $classes;
	}

add_filter('body_class', 'add_slug_body_class');

So now my Contact page is "page-contact"

and I can use that to address the main column and make it a max-width of something I like on a larger device.

/* assumes full width no sidebar on this page */
.page-contact .content {
    margin-left:auto;
    margin-right:auto;
    max-width:700px;
}
