Remove Sidebar if Configurable Product

[jeffuk]

Anyone have a hook that removes the sidebar if a product has configurable options? 

cart.php?a=confproduc

Just want a full page as this is a hidden product and don't want to display categories on this page. 

Thank you.

I don't think there is one... removing the sidebars via a hook is simple enough...

but the template isn't designed to adjust full width if the sidebars aren't there...

I suspect you're looking at customising configureproduct.tpl and changing the <div> widths 3/9 based on whether {$configurableoptions} exists.

Thanks Brian. I am thinking to maybe use another order template to load this product.

if you're using any recent version (within the last year or two), then your options will be limited... ALL of the default orderform templates (Cloud & Universal Sliders, Pure/Premium/Supreme Comparisons) that are still being updated, will use Standard_cart by the time they get to the product configuration stage... Modern and Boxes wouldn't, but while they're still being shipped with WHMCS, they haven't been updated for a long while... so they might work for now, but are probably not a good long-term option.

Universal sliders is probably the best option for this product at this stage. Using carttpl is a quick workaround.

thanks again Brian.

I have given up. Literally.

 

I am now just going to look at how the sidebar categories can be minimised rather than removed.

 

I hate them.

don't let it beat you, Jeff... there will be more bumpy issues down the road using WHMCS than this!!

I don't think Andrew's code worked in the thread below... though I can't recall trying it personally.

modifying the template would be the way to go with this...

so in standard_cart/configureproduct.tpl, this...

        <div class="pull-md-right col-md-9">

            <div class="header-lined">
                <h1>{$LANG.orderconfigure}</h1>
            </div>

        </div>

        <div class="col-md-3 pull-md-left sidebar hidden-xs hidden-sm">

            {include file="orderforms/standard_cart/sidebar-categories.tpl"}

        </div>

        <div class="col-md-9 pull-md-right">

becomes...

        <div class="pull-md-right col-md-{if $configurableoptions}12{else}9{/if}">

            <div class="header-lined">
                <h1>{$LANG.orderconfigure}</h1>
            </div>

        </div>
		{if !$configurableoptions}
        <div class="col-md-3 pull-md-left sidebar hidden-xs hidden-sm">

            {include file="orderforms/standard_cart/sidebar-categories.tpl"}

        </div>
		{/if}
		
        <div class="col-md-{if $configurableoptions}12{else}9{/if} pull-md-right">

and if a product has configurable options, it doesn't load the sidebar (so no need for a hook), and auto adjusts the width of the page...

sidebars gone.

Jeff less stressed.

problem solved.

Thank you, Brian, Andrew's code worked for me. I have shared it with Dani in the same post.

Thanks again for your help.
