I need to make the homepage on x-cart different from the rest of the pages. I would like to keep just the header and footer, and insert my own content in the main area.

skin/your_skin/customer/main/welcome.tpl controls home page

Thanks.. Now, how do I remove the left bar from just the homepage?

[cflsystems]

surround it with
{if $main eq "catalog" && $current_category.category eq ""}
LEFT BAR CODE HERE
{/if}

I am using 2-columns skin.. In what file would I insert the code?

That is in common_files/customer/content.tpl. You would want to copy that to the same place in 2-columns then make the changes there. There is already code surrounding the left-bar to prevent it from appearing in the cart and checkout. I think you'd want to add a "not" around the above code so you'd end up with something like this:

{if ($main neq 'cart' or $cart_empty) and $main neq 'checkout' and not ($main eq "catalog" and $current_category.category eq "")}

We are getting closer.. Thanks!!

Now, how do I eliminate the space where the left bar was?

It's all in the css classes. There are probably margins/paddings you need to eliminate so the center part takes all the space

[WSUSA]

I can't find it anywhere in the altskin.css or main.css. The margin on the left of center is exactly 250px. I went through both css files and changed anything that said 250px, nothing changed.

Does anyone have any ideas?

The cart.php page is also having the same issues?

It is there in one of the css files. Use Firebug (FF) to find out exactly which one
