Show right column on home page only

I want to show the right column on the home page only. I've read the FAQ page and various forum posts, but it seems everyone else is doing the opposite and hiding the column on the home page. I've tried the suggestions and played around, but I just can't get it working.

Could someone help me out?

Thanks!

Nevermind, figured it out right after I posted :)

In tpl_main_page.php, change:

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;
}

to:

if ($this_is_home_page) {
$flag_disable_right = false;
} else {
$flag_disable_right = true;
}

I think you can do this in the Admin>Config>EZ-Pages Settings>
EZ-Pages Pages to disable right-column and then list the pages. The problem with this is that you have to come up with the page no. for the home page and not sure how that works?

Yes, but I wanted it show on the home page and be disabled on every other page, so I would have had to list everything but the home page, kind of a pain. The solution above works perfectly and is much easier :)
