Disable Sidebox for One Page Only Other then EZ Pages

[grafx2g]

I have one for you guys.

I want to disable a side box banner box 2 on the page below.

index.php?main_page=advanced_search

I read about disabling sideboxes from EZ Pages but how could you do this from other pages such as,

index.php?main_page=advanced_search

I've read,
https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=270
and
https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=249

But can't seem to figure out how to do this page.

Can anyone please point the solution out, because I'm not finding anything for this.

Gr,
Need a link to your site please.

1. Tell us specifically which side box you want to exclude

[grafx2g]

Ok,

includes/modules/sideboxes/banner_box2.php

Thanks

[haredo]

Ok,

includes/modules/sideboxes/banner_box2.php

Thanks

Gr,
Please post the bannner_box2.php file here so I can see the code you have worked on already

1. make sure the code is surrrounded by the .php tags
2. click the little php icon on the top of this table and copy and paste the .php inbetween them

Here is the templates/sideboxes/tpl_banner2.php page. That is the page I've been editing

<?php
/* Start MagneticOne TagCloud */
 require_once(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'tagcloud/m1_tagcloud.php');
 echo insertTagCloud(2, "RANDOM");
 /* End MagneticOne TagCloud */
 
 ?>

<?php

    $content = '';

// if no active banner in the specified banner group then the box will not show

  if ($banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', $banner_box_group)) {

    $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent centeredContent">';

    $content .= zen_display_banner('static', $banner);

    $content .= '</div>';

  }



?>

Here is the modules/sideboxes/ code but i'm not sure if it's to be edited there. Please let me know.

      $title_link = false;

    }}

So can anyone show me how to explode a sidebox for cPath?

Example
index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_147_148_313&products_id=688

I want to explode Banner_Box2.php for this page and a few others but I don't want to turn it off. Please advise.

On the page name you can use:

if  (in_array($_GET['main_page'], array(FILENAME_LOGOFF, FILENAME_PRIVACY, FILENAME_PASSWORD_FORGOTTEN, FILENAME_CONTACT_US, FILENAME_CONDITIONS, FILENAME_SHIPPING, FILENAME_UNSUBSCRIBE))) {
  // do something if true
} else {
  // do something else if false
}

On cPath, this is not always specifically stated but the current categories_id can be found with $current_categories_id which would take from the cPath 1_147_148_313 and give you 313 ...

[grafx2g]

Thank you for your reply, I'm not to techie so can you please show me where to place this and how to insert the code correctly.

Thank you very much.

Pretend I am not bright ...

Which are you needing help with? The block on a specific categories_id or the block on a specific page? or what ...
