X-Cart forums - How to hide left sidebar on front page

Welcome to xcart!

Webmaster mode will be your friend for these types of questions... please read up on webmaster mode and then you'll discover that...

the left menu is placed using the include:

file:
/skin/books_and_magazines/customer/content.tpl

Code:

<div id="left-bar">{include file="customer/left_bar.tpl"}</div>

as you can see, there is an IF statement surrounding the include:

Code:

{if ($main neq 'cart' or $cart_empty) and $main neq 'checkout'}

        <div id="left-bar">{include file="customer/left_bar.tpl"}</div>

{/if}

IF $main is not 'cart'
OR cart is empty
and $main is not checkout, then show the left-bar

you will want to add an if to exclude the home page
