turn off side columns on home page (code example)

I tried to find this in the forums but couldn't.

This hack turns off one (or both) side columns when you are on your sites homepage only.

If you simply make an override in:
includes/templates/your-template/index/tpl_main_page.php
the changes apply to ALL categories, not just the home page.

Here is simple fix. Add:

if ($cPath == ""){
$flag_disable_right = true;
}

to the above override file and you can turn off your side column(s) on home page only.

Hope this helps someone.

use this instead put at the top of the page after comments:

if ($this_is_home_page == true) {
$flag_disable_right = true;
$flag_disable_left = true;
}

}

You can also write the statement like this:

if ($this_is_home_page) { 
   $flag_disable_right = true;
   $flag_disable_left = true;
}

ZC is smart enough to know if the page its on is the home page or not.
