Alternate Sidebar Page Template in Genesis

This allows you to use the built-in secondary sidebar as an alternate on one sidebar themes (you'll want to register a separate sidebar if you are using two sidebars in your theme layouts). This has a limited scope, I would recommend a plugin like Display Widgets if you are going to have a more complicated page-by-page application.

<?php

/**

 * Place this into your functions file

 * 

 */

unregister_sidebar( 'sidebar-alt' );

genesis_register_sidebar(

 array(

 'id' => 'sidebar-alt',

 'name' => 'Alternate Sidebar',

 'description' => 'This sidebar will appear instead of the primary sidebar, when the alternate sidebar page template is used.',

 )

);
