How to disable Categories side box on certain pages

[MCanes]

I posted this under general questions, but this is probably the better place.

Can anyone tell me how to disable the Categories sidebox on certain pages like the About Us or Privacy Policy pages?

Thanks

Look at css per page ... instructions in the /css/readme file

You can also control this with overrides on the sideboxes if you are more comfortable with code ...

Peek at the various sideboxes in:
/includes/modules/sideboxes

to see how this is done with many of them ...

Ajeh, can you be a little more specific... If you look at the following link it may be easier to explain.

I am trying to build out a Help Desk section. Basically, when you are on this page or any of the others I decide I do not want to show the categories sidebox.

I simply want to show the Information box on the left (which I will later rename to Help Desk). I would like to do this only on certain pages, not the entire site.

Thanks again for your help.

You need to build some conditions as to when to show the sidebox or when not to ...

For example, in the categories sidebox you could copy the files to your templates and overrides directory as all good zenners do ...

Then add some code such as:

    $show_categories = true;
    if (in_array($_GET['main_page'], array(FILENAME_LOGOFF, FILENAME_LOGIN, FILENAME_PRIVACY, FILENAME_CONTACT_US, FILENAME_CONDITIONS, FILENAME_SHIPPING))) {
      $show_categories = false;
    } else {
      $show_categories = true;
    }

if ($show_categories == true) {
// blah blah all code here that is already there
// blah blah all code here that is already there
// blah blah all code here that is already there
} // eof: $show_categories == true 

My example is based on the page names for where I am at

Awesome... Thank you so much. I have got this working on localhost based on the code you provided.

Thanks again.

You are most welcome ... glad that this custom code was able to work for you ...
