Left Column off for some pages, and then On for others...is that possible!

I have to make this ZenCart i'm building look just like the design I've been given.

Can I program so that the Left Column is on only on the Homepage (the Right Column would be off)
and then, on the interior pages the reverse is true i.e., Left Column On, Right Column off

is that possible!

thanks for all the great help so far,

Have a look at the tpl_main_page.php file
It outlines code to turn on & off columns and look for "this is home page" text

Okay I'll try, thanks.

i could probably use some jQuery too, if i can figure a way to create pageId's in JS.

You don't need jQuery for this, as the facility is built in and simple to use in tpl_main_page.php.
Also, the PHP solution stops processing for the turned-off columns, making your pages faster to load.

'Doh! i see the comments in that file now explaining how to do it, thanks

is the following path
/includes/templates/template_default/common
where tpl_main_page.php file should be edited to eliminate left column on the home page??

Where in that file is the fix to eliminate left column on the home page?

OK revised from right to left column.

if ($current_page_base == 'index' and $cPath == '' or $cPath == '3') {

$flag_disable_left = true;

and no more left column on the home page.

Simpler and more reliable:```php
if($this_is_home_page) {
$flag_disable_left = true;
}

is the following path
/includes/templates/template_default/common
where tpl_main_page.php file should be edited to eliminate left column on the home page??
No
You should make a copy of that file for your template
