Disable Right Column on Specific Pages

[Feznizzle]

Hi,

I will be installing the Recently Viewed mod. My site will default to 2 columns (narrow column left, page content right). After a visitor views a product, the right hand column will appear.

This is all good, precisely what I want.

However I do not want the right column to appear on my EZ pages.

I was able to get rid of Bread Crumbs by adding a bit of inline CSS to the source of my EZ pages:

<style type="text/css">#navBreadCrumb{ display: none; }
</style>

Is there a simple way to do the same with the right column? Perhaps by changing "navBreadCrumb" to something else? While *not* having the width of the EZ page change? If the width of the page changes, maybe there is some CSS to force it to remain the normal width?

I noticed this in Admin/Conf/Layout:

Column Left Status - Global
Show Column Left, unless page override exists?
0= Column Left is always off
1= Column Left is on, unless page override

This seems to suggest a way to override exists. Is there a simple code solution that could be pasted into EZpage source instead of the css method?

Thanks!


Forgot! This is a fresh install of a zc154.

Problem solved by simply using the optional centerbox method built into the mod. I'd prefer it in a sidebox on the right, but whatev...

Thanks.

If css methodology is desired/acceptable you can generate a css file for specific pages/page types. The information related to this is in includes/templates/template_default/css/CSS_read_me.txt.

As to sizing/resizing, the remaining window sizes to what is displayed, so if the right side window is not displayed, I would think that the center would expand to fill it...

Awesome, thanks for the tip!

This may help:

Admin > Configuration > EZ-Pages Settings > EZ-Pages Pages to disable right-column

And another thing (re)learned. :) that does what is identified above in the original post. Does require "keeping" up with which sideboxes become newly activated, but truly once a "general" scheme is established there are likely few changes necessary. Does help to "remember" this feature when related issues are identified by other zenners. Good spot and thank you!

Awesome!!! How on earth did I miss that!

Can I do the same thing on the index page?

Open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php

Find

if (in_array($current_page_base,explode

add to array: main_page

$flag_disable_right = true;

Oops - my bad!

cancel my post above... had a mental nap

Open /includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_SIDEBOX_NAME.php

Just below

// test if box should display 
  $show_YOUR_SIDEBOX_NAME = true; 

add

if ($this_is_home_page) {
$show_YOUR_SIDEBOX_NAME = false;
}
