Remove Sideboxes from home page

[tawebworks]

I know I'm missing something... but where can I "turn off" side boxes for just my home page?

open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page_php.

at around line 45 add the following code:

if ($this_is_home_page) {
$flag_disable_right = true;
$flag_disable_left = true;
}

save the file and upload to your server.

Thank you, oh kind Zen Master!

Is there an addition I can make to the code you noted to display a different header image?
I would also like to link the home page header to the shopping cart.

That code just turns off the sideboxes on the main page.

to change the header you could create an additional css file called index_home.css

that would handle the header on the main page.

Does it need to reside in the same "Common" folder?

All css files go in the /includes/templates/your_template/css/ folder.

Here is the code of my file (includes/templates/southart/css/index-home.css):

#logoWrapper{
background-image:url(../images/logo-shop.gif)
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-color: #ffffff;
height:96;
}

Yet, this is not working.
What am I doing wrong here?

[gjh42]

It needs to be index_home.css.

[tawebworks]

I made that change.
Still no go.
