Right side column on main page only

I have been trying to have the right column display on the main page only.

I tried the right side box on the main page only from the tutorials and it works perfectly, but the right column has to be set to 'on globally' and a blank column is displayed on all the other pages.

Is there an easy way to only have the right column on the main page?

My site is http://www.poolcuesexpress.com/testsite.

Any help would be appreciated.

could try:

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

in file:
/includes/templates/CUSTOM_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php

Or put this in your define_main_page in your define pages editor in admin...

Thank you both for responding to my call for help. It is greatly appreciated.

I used the conditional statement for tpl_main_page and it worked great. The column is there only on the main page. This solution was the best for my situation.

I don't know if the other one worked, but I saved it in a file and if I ever need it I will have it.

Thanks again to both of you.
