how to remove "Specials"? and show quick re-order at the same time when login?

[stevenjiang613]

HI,
My problem is that how to realize that after I login, the quick re-order sidebox appears but the Special sidebox disappears.

I know how to make the quick re-order sidebox appear but I don't know how to remove another sidebox (e.g. Specials) at the same time.

Can somebody give me some tips? Do I just do something in the admin and realize that or do I have to change the template code?

I just consider that probably I can use "switch...case" in the tpl_index_default.php but I am not sure if it can work and BTW I don't know where should I put. idea?

Thanks

Edit the specials.php sidebox and add the code in red above the code in black:

// bof: turn off specials sidebox when customer logs in
  if ($_SESSION['customer_id'] > 0) {
    $show_specials= false;
  }
// eof: turn off specials sidebox when customer logs in

  if ($show_specials == true) {

Hi Ajeh:
Thank you so much.
That is exactly what I want.
you see, it not only does solve this problem but also gives me a hint that next time if I want to remove any sidebox after login I can use this code to it .

Thanks again
