Sideboxes on Product_Info only?

[gezuvor]

I have a fresh install of 1.38 tied to an existing database and with a bunch of add-ons.

They layout is 3-column on the home page and 2-column on the rest of the site. I am having an issue with two of the sideboxes showing up on the product_info page (only) that I can't seem to get rid of.

In the Layout Boxes Controller page, I checked these boxes and they are configured the same as other boxes that do NOT show up.

Here is the site: w w w . e u r o c y c l e d . c o m / s h o p

Pick any product to see what I mean...

Could this be something specific in the code of the product_info page or a setting somewhere else?

You need to DISABLE right column for certain pages. In your case, you will want many pages - including product_info to have right column disabled.

Here's how you do it:

There is a file:

/includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_main_page.php

Find the following (around lines 41 - 44).

// the following IF statement can be duplicated/modified as needed to set additional flags
  if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'list_pages_to_skip_all_right_sideboxes_on_here,separated_by_commas,and_no_spaces')) ) {
    $flag_disable_right = true;
  } 

Where it says:
list_pages_to_skip_all_right_sideboxes_on_here,separated_by_commas,and_no_spaces

Delete the above and insert
product_info

// the following IF statement can be duplicated/modified as needed to set additional flags
  if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'product_info')) ) {
    $flag_disable_right = true;
  } 

... and if you want other pages too, just insert their name(s), separated by a comma... eg:
product_info,contact_us,login,etc,etc,etc,etc,etc

You need to save this and then ftp it to:

includes/templates/oem/common/

(If common folder does not exist in your custom template, create it.)

Schoolboy, you are my hero!!! I've struggled trying to find where this is controlled and it was right under my nose. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

That site of yours looks excellent! Is the template your own, or is it available somewhere? I have a site that would look good with your layout.

Thank you for the compliment! I did the CSS/PHP work and the graphics were done by a company for us. The final touches are not quite completed, but it should be ready in the next 7-10 days.

Please contact me on PM if you'd like to discuss this further.
