How to Remove the Left Column from the Product Info Display Page??

[autoace]

Hello,

How do I remove the LEFT column from the Product Info Display Page.

I just want the Center and Right columns to appear on the product info display page?

I have looked in the tuturials section and they do not provide a clear cut solution.

Any ideas? Thank you.

add in /includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php

if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'product_info')) ) {
$flag_disable_left = true;

just before;
$header_template = 'tpl_header.php';
$footer_template = 'tpl_footer.php';
$left_column_file = 'column_left.php';
$right_column_file = 'column_right.php';

You can do this with any page btw...

another option is to create a separate stylesheet for that circumstance. No need to munge the PHP, just us a display: none one-liner in the stylesheet.

directions and suggestions are found in the css folder of the site.

Thanks for the reply. I would like to try it going the css route, but I am not understanding the instructions in the css folder. What would I name the css file and where would I upload it (css folder?)? Also do I just take the stylesheet.css file, copy it - just delete the code for the left column?

As you can see I am a little confused on how to do it, but I do want to try it that way. Could you please give me some guidance here?

Thanks.

Not having a link to your site, I'll have to make a stab in the dark.
If you create a product_info.css and include in it:

#navColumnOne {
display:none;


}

Load the css file into the proper directory for your site and it should work.

Thank it worked. I originally had added the code to the php file from above. But I thought the css method was much better, this way the hard code stays in tact with as little mods as possible!!

Thank you.

Glad you got it working.
Either way would have worked. I just prefer to not mess with the code if I can help it.
Often, messing with PHP will effect something you hadn't planned on.

Hi dbltoe:

I am attempting to do the same but different thing again.

On my product listing page, I would like to remove the Right Column (navColumnTwo, I believe) but I am not sure what I am doing wrong:

1. Made a css file, named it product_listing.css, and put the same code in. Just changed it to navColumnTwo,

2. uploaded it to my includes/templates/my_template/css directory but its not working!

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong. I have ZC 1.3.8

Thanks

You'd have to make a css file for every category as Product Listings are fed off of a category ID.

Hi dbltoe:

Is there another way to do it? Possible via some minor code changes? Somewhat similar to the example above?

I do not know if I want to make multiple css files for every category that I currently have or will have in the future. I believe a minor code mod would be good here, any ideas?

Thanks.
