I want to remove the right column from the checkout pages.

I found a post with some information but it wasn't completely clear to me how this would be done.

I'm assuming I must create a new template
And call that template from a php file.

I have not been able to find the php file from which to change that template information however.

A few hints would be great.

Thanks

Could you describe exactly what you wish to remove from the checkout pages please?

I'd like to be able to drop the right column boxes and have the checkout details span both columns.

Hi,

Off the top of my head, I think you could just hide the third right hand column by using an 'if' statement. To remove the column on the checkout page add the 'if' statement above the opening <td> tags for the column:

{if $main ne "checkout" }

and then after the closing </td> tags of that column:

{else}
{/if}

You can replace the "checkout" with the name of the smarty variable for any other pages where you wish to hide the right hand column.

That worked. Thanks for the help.
If I now want the middle section to span two columns do I use a conditional statement for the colspan or do I need to make a new template that spans both columns?

You should be able to use a conditional statement for the colspan too. I've done conditional statements inside table tags before.

I had a look at the smarty documentation and couldn't figure out what the syntax would be for a conditional <td> attribute.

would I just repeat the table cell code like this:

{if $main ne "checkout"}
<td>
insidie td
</td>

{else}

<td colspan="2">
insidie td
</td>

{/if}

Or would the if statement go inside the <td> tag?

[BCSE]

Try the IF statement in the <td> tag. I've done it before for TR background changes depending on a condition.

So something like

<td {if $main eq $checkout}colspan=2{/if}>

I know I've done something similar in a <TR> tag.

<td {if $main eq $checkout}colspan=2{/if}>

doesn't that mean that the colspan will not show while in checkout mode?

[BCSE]

eq means equal, so if $main equals checkout, then colspan=2. So on checkout, span 2 columns.

Hope that makes sense.
