Looking forward to our replies

If you want to use a different sidebar you'll have to use "include".
Have a look at http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_Your_Sidebar for all about this.
Good luck with your custom theme.

| Posted by deydod, 11-23-2012, 07:16 AM | | There are a lot different ways to achieve this, but here is a little how-to:
1) in function.php add register_sidebar functions with different "name" parameter.
Example:
Place as many as you want.
2) Create custom single-.php in the template folder. You can just duplicate the single.php for this demo.
3) Lets say your post type is "cars", they you should have a file called single-cars.php. Edit this file and change:
to
4) That's it. When you open your custom post type then the desired sidebar should show up.

In functions.php we would use the register_post_type WordPress function to create the sidebar content post type.
__('Sidebar Content'),
'singular_name' => __('Sidebar Entry'),
'add_new' => __('Add New'),
'add_new_item' => __('Add New Sidebar Entry'),
'edit_item' => __('Edit Sidebar Entry'),
'new_item' => __('New Sidebar Entry'),
'view_item' => __('View Sidebar Entry'),
'search_items' => __('Search Sidebar Entry'),
'not_found' => __('No Sidebar Entry found'),
'not_found_in_trash' => __('No Sidebar Entry found in Trash'),
'parent_item_colon' => ''
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'hierarchical' => true,
'menu_position' => null,
'supports' => array('title','editor','author', 'page-attributes', 'revisions')
);
register_post_type('sidebar-content',$args);
}
?>
