SECOND ATTEMPT AT THIS MESSAGE

I have the following source code

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="mainwrapper" class="clearfix">
	<div id="maincontent">
  <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
  	<div class="postpage">
    <h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="pagetitle"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
    <div class="entrytext">
    	<?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page &raquo;</p>'); ?>
    	<?php link_pages('<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', '</p>', 'number'); ?>
    </div>
  	</div>
  <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
  <?php edit_post_link('Edit this page', '[ ', ' ]'); ?>
	</div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

I basically need it to “”include”” a sidebar.php script listed on my server! Can anyone help as im trying to get it to work like this example:

https://bielbo.com/convert.jpg

So the red box to the left is an iphone/ipod version of my website and i want to take the side bar with the 2 red boxes off of the full website to the right!

Raid my source code at https://www.bielbo.com/iphone if you need to!

Please help asap ??

problem is… every time i make an include the following tag:

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

As you said use https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Include_Tags

“This tag includes the file sidebar.php from your current theme’s directory. If that file is not found, it will instead include wp-content/themes/default/sidebar.php” -https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Include_Tags

But when i use it an error comes up! I’m not sure if i have put it into the correct location within the code or if i havn’t added something to that string to make it work. I do know one thing…. the string shows what i need but has 3 chunks of bold text error messages!

I basically need it to “”include”” a sidebar.php script listed on my server!

<?php get_sidebar(); ?> is for the sidebar.php file in your current theme’s folder.

Is this sidebar include intended to be included your theme’s sidebar or to replace your theme’s sidebar?

Looking at the image above i intend to copy the sidebar into the red outlined area to the left!

I basically have 2 themes. Theme 1 is a full browser theme and theme 2 is an ipod touch/iphone theme. I have a browser detect plugin which points an ipod touch/iphone to theme 2. Theme 2 only has a bog standard ‘page’ as a homepage but i want it to display everything from the side bar!

Why not just add the desired code from theme 1’s sidebar.php into the relevant theme 2 file? You wouldn’t need an include for this.

how do i do that?

Cant believe it… i’ve been looking thru this for hours and i’ve been over this page more times than i can remember and now… it actually works!

Thanks for your help iridiax! ??

only thing i need now is one of these:

<?php get_links_list(); ?>

for the META section!
