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

PHP Code:

<div id="center-main" {if $cat eq '0'}style="margin: 0 15px;"{/if}>
</div> 


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 "")}

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

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.

[liamb2001]

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.
