Dustie:
Okay, so after a bit more research I see that the column says : 3 Column Layout (removes right column on product info, shopping cart & checkout pages). So this is not optional??
As to the notifications it says (or used to say): Option to include the Product Notification and Manufacturer Info side boxes on the product info pages. I don't have an option to disable this under Product info pages.. also as I mentioned above, I have tried removing the sidebox and notificaton.
The template, by default, disables the right/left columns on various pages in its /common/tpl_main_page.php:
// the following IF statement can be duplicated/modified as needed to set additional flags
if (in_array($current_page_base, explode(',', str_replace(' ', '', 'product_info, document_general_info, document_product_info, product_music_info, product_free_shipping_info, shopping_cart, checkout_shipping, checkout_shipping_address, checkout_payment, checkout_payment_address, checkout_confirmation, checkout_success')))) {
$flag_disable_right = true;
}
if (in_array($current_page_base, explode(',', str_replace(' ', '', 'checkout_shipping, checkout_shipping_address, checkout_payment, checkout_payment_address, checkout_confirmation')))) {
$flag_disable_left = true;
}
You can change that by modifying that file in your site's clone of the template.
For the notifications' choice removal, see Configuration // Bootstrap Template Settings // Display the Notifications Box on Product Pages
