ENABLE Sidebox on Main Page

Some time ago I had disabled the sidebox from appearing on the index page. I would now like to enable it again. It seems as though this could be achieved by removing this bit of code from tpl_main_page.php:

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

Leaving this:

// 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;
  }

However, it seems to have no visible effect. The test site index page can be viewed here. Any idea what I'm missing??

Thanks!

The code would be in the specific sidebox for the one that you want to enable/disable ...

NOTE: you are on the right track as it is probably controlled with the:
$this_is_home_page

in the specific sidebox ... :smile:

Meltdown,
You should find your previous work in the sideboxes with these folders

includes/modules/sideboxes/

Hi, and thanks for responding. Sorry but I'm not seeing the forest for the trees... I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for when going over previous work in includes/modules/sideboxes/. How might one of the mods there apply to the index page?

Thanks again

Or, to state it a bit more clearly, is there a way to know which module has been modified? Some clues that may help me determine where to look?

I have gone through files that have been indicated as being previously modified, but have had no luck in thracking down the culprit.

OK, I've been able to track this down: In addition to removing this bit of code from tpl_main_page.php:

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

I also needed to remove a block I had placed via my stylesheet.css:

#indexHomeBody .centerColumn {
	width: 95%!important;
	float: right!important;
	}

Thanks for your help!
