content template doesn't display header/footer

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
Creating a Content Template for a post type to be used with the Impreza theme results in the Header and Footer not being displayed. (It was necessary to register the theme function "us_load_template" for Content Templates to work at all with Impreza.)

Solution:
In the Impreza theme settings it was necessary to explicitly set the header and footer for the custom post type, "default" didn't work.

I am integrating toolset with the Impreza theme. I found the doco for that and set the template function to "us_load_template" which then loads in the template, however it replaces the entire page not just the page body so there is no header/footer on the page anymore. I can't figure out why it isn't loading the header/footer as that function appears at least to be called where the post_body is.

Help?

Hi there

I'd need to see this in action and look at the theme files to have a clear opinion.

But first, did us_load_template come from the Views debugging mode described under the "Theme support for Content Templates" section of Toolset > Settings > Front-end Content?

Impreza has a settings page where you can define the header/footer/sidebar for each custom post type. My custom post type was set to default, however this didn't work. Manually setting the required header/footer in this Impreza theme settings page did the trick and header/footer are now visible. Given that all the other post types (page/post/product/event) are working fine on "use default", perhaps this is a weird incompatibility between Toolset (where I defined the post type with the issue) and Impreza. Not sure. Fixed and moving on now.
