Remove Sidebar/Menu on Custom Page

[shanejen]

Hi, 

I created a custom page using the example in the WHMCS documentation and I want to keep it, I've converted it into my Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy Pages everything works fine. 

I would like to get rid of the sidebar, I'm using Twenty-one template. I tried a few hooks nothing happened there is the 2 menu item lines at the bottom of the PHP file do i need to use or tweak them into something 

 

Any help would be appreciated . I will insert the php example below

 

<?php

use WHMCS\Authentication\CurrentUser;
use WHMCS\ClientArea;
use WHMCS\Database\Capsule;

define('CLIENTAREA', true);

require __DIR__ . '/init.php';

$ca = new ClientArea();

$ca->setPageTitle('Your Page Title Goes Here');

$ca->addToBreadCrumb('index.php', Lang::trans('globalsystemname'));
$ca->addToBreadCrumb('mypage.php', 'Your Custom Page Name');

$ca->initPage();

//$ca->requireLogin(); // Uncomment this line to require a login to access this page

// To assign variables to the template system use the following syntax.
// These can then be referenced using {$variablename} in the template.

//$ca->assign('variablename', $value);

$currentUser = new CurrentUser();
$authUser = $currentUser->user();

// Check login status
if ($authUser) {

    /**
     * User is logged in - put any code you like here
     *
     * Use the User model to access information about the authenticated User
     */

    $ca->assign('userFullname', $authUser->fullName);


    $selectedClient = $currentUser->client();
    if ($selectedClient) {

        /**
         * If the authenticated User has selected a Client Account to manage,
         * the model will be available - put any code you like here
         */

        $ca->assign(
            'clientInvoiceCount',
            $selectedClient->invoices()->count()
        );
    }

} else {

    // User is not logged in
    $ca->assign('userFullname', 'Guest');

}

/**
 * Set a context for sidebars
 *
 * @link http://docs.whmcs.com/Editing_Client_Area_Menus#Context
 */
//Menu::addContext();

/**
 * Setup the primary and secondary sidebars
 *
 * @link http://docs.whmcs.com/Editing_Client_Area_Menus#Context
 */
Menu::primarySidebar('announcementList');
Menu::secondarySidebar('announcementList');

# Define the template filename to be used without the .tpl extension

$ca->setTemplate('mypage');

$ca->output();

you've virtually answered your own question - if you don't want to show sidebars, then don't add them to the custom page, e.g don't include the lines below in your php file...

Menu::primarySidebar('announcementList');
Menu::secondarySidebar('announcementList');

now if the custom page is showing a sidebar that is available to all pages, then you might need a hook to remove it from the custom page - but it doesn't sound like that's the case in your situation.

Hey Brian,

Thanks for the reply.

I wanted to delete them to be honest but I recalled seeing a comment on another post about removing something,   I think from you saying "You don't remove but you add" and I was unsure if it applied in this case. I've just removed them and the sidebar is gone as you predicted. 🙂 

Much appreciated

@brian! 

I'm confident this is not the way to remove the sidebars when it comes to the product/cart/checkout pages?

I tried the CSS Display/ Visibility and got the empty space or the remaining content moved to the left result. Could you point me in the right direction please I'm using twenty-one temp all the hooks seem to be for Six or I can't find the hook which I'm sure is written

TIA
