Remove left column from product page

I have a request from one of my clients to remove the left column from only from the product info page. The domain is arlingtonroadoutdoor.com They want the left column (categories, information sidebox) visible on every other page - just not the actual product info page. I only know how to turn it on and off globally - is their any way to do it for one specific page? HELP!

Open your common tpl_main_page and read the instructions for removing elements from specific pages. You may want to caution them about removing the main navigation though ... could be confusing to the customer. a better idea might be to get rid of the right hand column all the time.

why not change the left column 150px to 0px? idid that last night and it worked. need to turn OFF all sidebox, although.

kim - i tried that but for some reason it isn't turning it off. It is just putting the code on the product page. (I did warn them about navigation problems - but they still insisted for some reason!!!)

That switch works if you set it up properly. Post the region of tpl_main_page.php around your edits and we should be able to sort it out.

Firstly, if you don't already have one, create an over-ride file for tpl_main_page.php in your includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common directory.

Find this in tpl_main_page.php
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;
}

Replace with this:

if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'product_info')) ) {
$flag_disable_left = true;
}

This should do the trick for you.

you can go to configuration ---> Layout settings and set Column right or left status-global to 0 to turn them off on all pages or you can use this faq, it worked like a charm https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=270
