Login Page: Hide Column Left/Right settings not working

**Feznizzle** · 9 Nov 2017, 05:58 PM

Hi,

I have a zc155e and my template is a clone of Responsive Classic.

Here is my login page:
https://002mc.justmedical.biz/index.php?main_page=login

Under admin Configuration > Customer Details, I have set both of the following to TRUE:
Customer Authorization: Hide Column Left
Customer Authorization: Hide Column Right

Yet, as you can see, both columns still appear on the catalog's login page!

Am I missing something?

Or should I just track down the header for that page and insert this above <body>:
<style>
.leftBoxContainer, .rightBoxContainer {display: none;}
</style>

What's your Customer Shop Status and Customer Approval Status?

Exactly! Those hide/show configuration values are only used when the Customer Approval Status is set to 1.

You'll need to edit your template's /common/tpl_main_page.php, locating this (in the default, anyway) code section:

Code:

// the following IF statement can be duplicated/modified as needed to set additional flags
if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'list_pages_to_skip_all_right_sideboxes_on_here,separated_by_commas,and_no_spaces')) ) {
  $flag_disable_right = true;
}

and changing that to:

Code:

// the following IF statement can be duplicated/modified as needed to set additional flags
if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'login,create_account')) ) {
  $flag_disable_right = true;
  $flag_disable_left = true;
}

Also haven't stated if you want the left and right side boxes to always be disabled on the login page or if all pages until authorized. Each has a different solution. To address authorized customers will need to go down the path suggested by dbltoe.

As to "just adding" css related code, suggest looking at the readme in includes/templates/template_default/css instead of the above in the OP. There is an alternative also that doesn't push the html to the customer to be "hidden" by css.

Oh, sorry I didn't give enough info! I didn't realize those settings were related.

Customer Shop Status - View Shop and Prices = 0
Customer Approval Status - Authorization Pending = 0

@MC, I don't want the left/right columns while my customer is creating an account.

@lat9, I'll use your code fix. Thanks!

Thanks lat9!

You're very welcome, @Feznizzle!

Don't forget to take a look at what MC# was talking about in the css folder. The file is CSS_read_me.txt. Good stuff in there. You can do a LOT with an extra stylesheet without having to edit a php file. Keeps you from losing it in a upgrade or mod insertion.

You would probably create a login.css and add {display:none;} for each of the columns.

Thanks for the nudge, dbltoe. I just re-read the readme file contained in the css folder, glad I did. I had long forgotten about the page specific css option.

In case anybody else stumbles in here looking to solve the same issue, what MC and dbltoe are pointing to is that there is a way to handle this: page specific css.

To do that:
1. Go to /includes/templates/your_template/css/
2. Add a new file called login.css
3. In that file, add whatever you need:
.leftBoxContainer, .rightBoxContainer {display: none;}

I haven't tested this as lat9's solution already did the trick, but you may want to consider it. The advantage being that using css will reduce work load during future upgrades.

In my case, the tpl_main_page.php already contains numerous alterations and will have to be carefully merged anyway.

Can you please tell me if this (login.css) would work for authorized customers? I have a furniture distributor who has to approve customers for access to prices. Many customers will register for the site and that in itself is not enough to be an authorized dealer from the distributors point of view. Therefore I need to be able to hide content from "non-authorized" dealers. If the login.css does not work, can you please tell me if there is a suggest way to resolve?

Using 1.5.6c.

Thank you.
