Display sideboxes on some pages

[Xaria]

I wanted to display blank sidebox on only a few pages..I went through the forums and couldn't find a good solution and also the FAQ solution works only on the home page.

I finally managed to get the desired result.
This is wat i did Modify file includes/modules/sideboxes/MY_TEMPLATE/blank_sidebox

if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'page_4,contact_us,shippinginfo,page_2')) ) {
     $show_blank_sidebox = true;
  } else {
    $show_blank_sidebox = false;
  }
  
  if ($show_blank_sidebox == true) {
MAIN BLOCK
} 

I hope this helps

Thanks for posting this example Xaria.

Strictly speaking the assignment of the $show_blank_sidebox variable to true followed immediately by a test of whether it is true (and similar code in most of the other Zen Cart sideboxes) is redundant.

However, it is there to point the way to people wanting to add filters that fine tune the conditions under which the boxes are displayed. Yours is a nice example of what can done.

Solution:

 
<?php
  if ($_GET['main_page'] == page) {
    // put in the code of the banner display
  }
?>

Solution:

 
<?php
  if ($_GET['main_page'] == page) {
    // put in the code of the banner display
  }
?>

Though I'd recommend quotes around the 'page'.

Blank sidebox is a mod u will have to download it.
I stated blank_sidebox as an example... You can modify sidebox according to your requirement.

I know this. I wrote the current version of the mod.

It was your specific question that I didn't understand and for which I was requesting clarification.
