[Plugin: wp e-Commerce] trouble with thematic sidebar on single product page

Ok, I’ve found a work around. Based on this post: https://getshopped.org/forums/topic/sidebar-not-showing-in-the-2011-theme/

I replaced:

// calling the standard sidebar
    thematic_sidebar();

in page.php in my child theme with:

if (is_active_sidebar('primary-aside')) {
	echo thematic_before_widget_area('primary-aside');
	dynamic_sidebar('primary-aside');
	echo thematic_after_widget_area('primary-aside');
}

That did the trick.

I had the same problem using a thematic theme child theme. The problem I found that was causing this was that the wpsc_all_products_on_page (in wpsc-includes/theme.functions.php) action that wpsc adds to the template_redirect hook exits at the end of running, therefore disabling all template_redirect actions that are scheduled to run after this action.

Among the actions that don’t run are thematic_connect_functions() on priority 10, which is why the sidebars don’t show.

I solved it by doing this (removing the action):

function stop_wp_ecommerce_from_messing_up_wordpress() {
	remove_action('template_redirect', 'wpsc_all_products_on_page');
}
add_action('template_redirect', 'stop_wp_ecommerce_from_messing_up_wordpress', 1);

I’m not sure whether this messes up something else, I have yet to test it thoroughly. The exit() call seems like bad design.
