Thank you! *Didn't think it was going to be That easy!

You're welcome. Glad to hear you got it working.

This would work as well

	  if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'login,checkout')) ) {
    $flag_disable_left = true;
  }

Add this to tpl_main_page.php

$center_column_only = array('checkout');

Where in the page is this added?

I am somewhat confused with coding as I go through this thread.

My goal is to hide certain sideboxes from the product pages. But, do not see sideboxes for them. Sideboxes to hide: newsletter, links, testimonials, and About Us.

Which file? I think this may be code? Where should it go in file at?

if (in_array($current_page_base, explode(',','about_cool_tech,cool_tech_values,inside_cool_tech,giving_back,think_green,tech_support,discount-coupon'))){
//skip these pages
} else {

//...execute the code

}  

Thanks, Kim

Anyone?

I want to hide certain sideboxes from product pages or basically keep only on main page. I went to includes/template/my temp/common/tpl_main_page. I added this code to keep only on main page for links side box, newsletter side box(subscribe), testimonials side box and About Us (ezpages).

$main_page_only = array('testimonials-manager','subscribe','linksbox','ezpages');
if (in_array($current_page_base,$main_page_only) ) {
$flag_disable_right = true;
$flag_disable_left = true;
}

I still can not get it to work.

If you really want those sideboxes only on the home page, use

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

or to target just those pages

if (in_array($current_page_base, explode(',','testimonials-manager,subscribe,linksbox,ezpages'))){
  $flag_disable_left = true;
  $flag_disable_right = true;
} 

I know this should be equivalent to the test you posted, but I have successfully used this version many times.

I do not know what I am doing wrong. I put it as the top of the page in includes/template/my temp/common/tpl_main_page....I will work on it some more..
