Remove Sidebar & Gap from Only Homepage
 

Hi can anyone tell me how i would remove the left sidebar from the homepage only please ?

I have changed the code in content.tpl to

</div><!-- /center-main -->
{if ($main neq 'cart' or $cart_empty) and $main neq 'checkout' and $main ne 'product' and ($main ne "catalog" or $current_category.category ne "")}
<div id="left-bar">
{include file="customer/left_bar.tpl"}
</div>
{/if}


at the bottom and it has removed it but with the problem the gap / space is still there...im trying to make it so the featured products on the homepage use the full page width

would really appreciate some help

Add the if statement to the "center-main" div.

Your welcome.

I just realised that the sidebar is missing from the product page.its showing on the category page but i need it to show on the product page as well, any ideas ?

It must be something to do with this code ?
{if ($main neq 'cart' or $cart_empty) and $main neq 'checkout' and $main ne 'product' and ($main ne "catalog" or $current_category.category ne "")}

Re: Remove Sidebar & Gap from Only Homepage
 

Yes it looks like you have too many 'and's.

Try something like:
{if (($main neq 'cart' or $cart_empty) and $main neq 'checkout') or $main ne 'product' or $cat ne '0'}

nearly that fixed on the product page but also brought it back to the homepage

Actually some things not right as $main ne 'product' should make it not appear on the product page. I know its not the best way of doing it but this is how I have mine:
{if ($main neq 'cart' or $cart_empty) and $main neq 'checkout'}
{if $main neq 'product'}
{if $main neq 'authentication'}
{if $main neq 'giftcert'}
{if $main neq 'help'}
{if $main neq 'register'}
{if $main neq 'pages'}
{if $main neq 'wordpress'}
{if $main neq 'order_message'}
{if $main neq 'address_book'}
{if $main neq 'orders'}
{if $main neq 'customer_bonuses'}
{if $main neq 'wishlist'}
{if $main neq 'error_ccprocessor_error'}
{if $main neq '403'}
{if $main neq 'survey'}
{if $main neq 'surveys'}
{if $cat neq '0'}
{if $manufacturerid neq '0'}

left bar.tpl

followed by an equal amount of {/if}s

Re: Remove Sidebar & Gap from Only Homepage
 

Try doing it that way just to get the variables right for the pages you want and then we can compress it into one if statement if you want.

Re: Remove Sidebar & Gap from Only Homepage
 

ok will do mate

to confirm you mentioned $main ne 'product' should make it not appear on the product page ?

Thats actually correct, the sidebar is NOT appearing on the product page but i want it to.

Re: Remove Sidebar & Gap from Only Homepage
 

not quite sure what you mean by this exactly if im honest mate ?

Re: Remove Sidebar & Gap from Only Homepage
 

this is my current content.tpl

It works perfectly apart from the fact the sidebar is blank on the product page, i want it to show
