Hide sideboxes on main page

[disciple]

Hi,

I wanted to hide the right side boxes on the main page so I created the tpl_main_page in my custom directory to read:

if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'index_default')) ) {
$flag_disable_right = true;
}

I thought this would do the trick and have kept trying but can't seem to get it right. The "space" for the right column still shows and the main content is not filling the screen.

Thanks for you help in advance.

Try this:

if ($current_page_base == 'index_home') {
$flag_disable_right = true;

Hi Clyde,

Do I replace the line with yours or in addition to. I tried to replace it and got a parse error.

By the way we live in Colorado Springs too. Small world!!

Thanks

Hi Clyde,

Nevermind. The statement you gave me was just missing the end bracket. Once I put that in it worked fine.

Thanks

I left out a bracket:

if ($current_page_base == 'index_home') {
$flag_disable_right = true;
}

Replace the line you have with the above.

Hi Clyde,

My wife's grandparents live there as well. We are close to there. We live at Markscheffel and Bradley.

Concerning the layout. The solution you gave me does not seem to allow me to have sideboxes on other pages.

Thanks

Rick,

Hmmmmmm!

What version of ZC are you using? It should work with versions as of 1.3.5 and later.

Let me work on this a bit. I'll find an answer and get back to you.

Sorry Clyde. I lied. The sideboxes do work on product pages but not top category pages. Does that make sense?

I am updating my old site to 1.36. I have it on my server in another directory to test.

Thanks

Rick

Makes perfect sense.

try this:

 if ($current_page_base == 'index_home' and $cPath == '') {
 $flag_disable_left = true;
 }

Worked perfectly. Thanks!!
