How to hide "reviews" only from frontpage

[nanosafeguard]

OK, I have searched for an answer, but nothing came up to help me. I will try and post this again, as I really need help doing this.

I want to remove reviews sidebox from my frontpage, but have it diplayed at all other pages. How do i do this. I assume i need to mess around with reviews.php, but not sure what code to change.

Thanks

Either at the point where the Reviews sidebox is called, or at the beginning of the reviews main file, add

if(!$this_is_home_page) {

(code)

} 

This will cause the code to be executed only if not on the home page.

You will need to research the correct location for this test.

Thanks, but I am too newbie, to figure out where to put in that code. Is anyone able to tell me exactly what to add/replace where and in which docs? I will appreciate this.

It would be hard to make that tutorial much simpler. For the specific case of the reviews sidebox, copy and edit
/includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/reviews.php.

/*...
 * @version $Id: reviews.php 2718 2005-12-28 06:42:39Z drbyte $
 */

// test if box should display (added 20081221 -v)
  if ($this_is_home_page) {
    $show_reviews = false;
  } else {
    $show_reviews = true;
  }

  if ($show_reviews == true) { //(added 20081221 -^)

// if review must be approved or disabled do not show review
  $review_status = " and r.status = 1 ";
//...
//  MAIN PROCESSING BLOCK
//...
  $title =  BOX_HEADING_REVIEWS;
  $title_link = FILENAME_REVIEWS;
  require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);
  } //(added 20081221)
?>
