[SOLVED] How to hide left column everywhere in the website on custom template

[kkoci]

I'm new to prestashop, and i'm designing a new template on photoshop (psd)

 

I have experience making wordpress themes, and i know it's not the same on prestashop.

 

However, i'm reading some tutorials, even found some posts having same issue as i have, but no results.

 

Already commented HOOK_LEFT_COLUMN on my header.tpl

{*<div id="left_column" class="column grid_2 alpha">
				{$HOOK_LEFT_COLUMN}
				</div>*}

Forced compilation on Performance->Smarty->Force compilation, and also disabled cache on it, but still no luck. A left white column still appears, even with no modules or hooks there.

 

Also tried the css 'display:none' for left_column trick but didn't work either.

 

I'm using latest prestashop cms.

 

Anyone knows how to accomplish this?

 

Thanks in advance!

its a image, not page 

[kkoci]

Yes, but what should i do to remove the left column there? I know what i'm doing, i'm just exploring hooks my way, to get a better understanding.

 

That image will be sliced and then will be a theme.

[vekia]

but you haven't got left column in page source, it is hidden exactly as you've got in comments

[kkoci]

You don't see it? Uh weird, this is how i see it:

 

 

There is a blank left column there

[vekia]

no, there is no left column in the code...

[kkoci]

Yes, but weird thing is this left blank column is still there, if i just delete all header.tpl code, all hooks, and left only image css code, then it shows properly, i mean without that left blank column.

[vekia]

but it's not column, it's a part of backgrund, you need to define different width for container,

it has got 980px; width

and you've got inside of it TABLE with width 1000+

[kkoci]

Alright, changed on grid_prestashop.css

.container_9 {
	margin:0 auto;
	width: 1360px;
}

and:

/* Grid >> 9 Columns
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
.container_9 .grid_1 {width:91px;}
.container_9 .grid_2 {width:202px;}
.container_9 .grid_3 {width:313px;}
.container_9 .grid_4 {width:424px;}
.container_9 .grid_5 {width:535px;}
.container_9 .grid_6 {width:646px;}
.container_9 .grid_7 {width:757px;}
.container_9 .grid_8 {width:868px;}
.container_9 .grid_9 {width:1360px;}

Worked perfectly! Thank you so much, you rock!!
