how to remove category box from just one page?

I have define page 2 turned on but I want to remove the category box from the page is it possible?

I tried using the ideas offered here http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53574

and changing the "index" to "page2" but it's not working (it's didn't work when i used index either)

however if i used the suggestion in post #7 of the above referenced thread if ($this_is_home_page) {

then it worked BUT i need it for page 2 not the home page .. can anyone tell me what to change the "this is home page" to read so that it works on the page 2? also i just want to remove the boxes I don't want the center text to move over to the left side as it did

here is the site link if you should need it
https://www.gourmet-foods-inc.com (page2 is the one under more info named certified organic/all natural)

Thank you,

Take time to read this tutorial..

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=249

well apparently some sleep helped.. i just realized the code wasn't working from the other thread b/c i was putting "page2" and not "page_2"

now i have to figure out away to stop it from shifting left when the column is turned off

I looked at this tutorial, but I didn't see how I would set it up so the category sidebox would not show up on the checkout_shipping page.

You could customize the categories sidebox by customizing the module to have something like this:

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

  if ($show_categories_box) {
    $main_category_tree = new category_tree;
    $row = 0;
    $box_categories_array = array();

// don't build a tree when no categories
    $check_categories = $db->Execute("select categories_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " where categories_status=1 limit 1");
    if ($check_categories->RecordCount() > 0) {
      $box_categories_array = $main_category_tree->zen_category_tree();
    }

    require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_categories.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_categories.php');

    $title = BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES;
    $title_link = false;

    require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);
  }

What would I do if I want to do this to more than one page? (checkout_shipping, checkout_payment, and checkout_confirmation)

if ($_GET['main_page'] == FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING or $_GET['main_page'] == FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT or $_GET['main_page'] == FILENAME_CHECKOUT_CONFIRMATION ) {

Thank you for your help. That worked great.

What would I do if I want the reverse? I want a side box to only show up on certain pages.

Same thing but switch the true and false around ... :smile:
