Removing sidebar only on "landing page" of custom template?

[adeave]

Hi All, Hopefully someone can save me the additional hours searching : )

 

I need help removing the the sidebar/nav of a custom template. if it helps the template i am customizing is called letpress. I would like to remove the sidebar/nav only for the homepage. ( * I am however okay with the sidebar shown on other pages and order pages after the user logs into their account)

 

 

Thanks a bunch.

what you will need to do is wrap an {if} statement in the sidebar to check if it's the homepage - if so, don't show the sidebar, otherwise show it.

 

there should be a line in the code as below in footer.tpl

 

<!-- BEGIN SIDEBAR -->

either just before or after, enter the following...

 

{if $filename neq "index"}

and then add {/if} before or after the line below...

<!-- END SIDEBAR -->

the sidebar template code already checks whether the user is logged in and displays various sections of the sidebar depending on the answer... but you could change the above if line to see whether is user is logged in - i'm assuming if they are, you don't mind them seeing the sidebar.

 

{if $loggedin or $filename neq "index"}
