Disable Right Column from index&cPath only

I am trying to disable the right column from product listing pages (index&cPath).

This is what I am doing:

I have inserted the following code in /includes/templates/CUSTOM_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php

if (in_array($cPath,explode(",",'1,2,3,4,5')) ) {
$flag_disable_right = true;

this works great, however I have 18 top level categories & 700 sub-categories.

My question is, is their a way to disable all the cPath extensions without manually inserting them?

it was tricky and don't make much sense but this is the (codes) I used:

if ($_GET['main_page'] == 'index') {
$flag_disable_right = true;
} else {
$flag_disable_right = false;
}

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

if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'products_new,advanced_search_result,products_all,shopping_cart')) ) {
$flag_disable_right = true;
}

I know this is a delayed response but in case someone else runs upon this post..

In this case I would just put $flag_disable_right = true or left on the view page in the templates/templates folder.

rbarbour

index&cPath is used to display all categories and sub-categories (same page) so the only way to disable("right or left") column $flag_disable_right or $flag_disable_left

for 1 individual category or sub-category page would be to insert

if (in_array($cPath,explode(",",'1,2,3,4,5')) ) {
$flag_disable_right = true;

into your /includes/templates/CUSTOM_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php

but to disable("right or left") column on all categories and sub-categories you would have to insert

if ($current_page_base == 'index' and $cPath > 0) {
  $flag_disable_right = true;
} 

above code is different than earlier used code as I have been cleaning up my files.

I have never inserted the $flag_disable_right = true; on individual pages, always inserted in tpl_main_page.php

for pages within your shop you insert the following code in tpl_main_page.php

if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'products_new,advanced_search_result,products_all,shopping_cart')) ) {
$flag_disable_right = true;
} 

I hope this helps!

You could also use the following:

if ($current_page_base == 'index' and $cPath > '0' ) {
$flag_disable_right = true;
}

:no: I just tried using this and it didn't work for me.

This is suppose to disable the right column in the store, right?
Even the subcatagories?

I'm currently using this file for my product listing that works:
if ($current_page_base == 'index' and $cPath == '65') {
$flag_disable_right = true;
}

But it doesn't work on my subcatagory's page....
I'm at a lost because i want my subcatagories to disable right too, but they're just too many to manually plug in.

I asked the same question today and received a different although functional answer. Not sure which is better, choose your own adventure I say:

For many of these situations there are several valid ways to do the job, and the "best" is the one you can understand and maintain and which takes the least processing to execute... often a tossup.
