[SOLVED] Two columns

[almostanad]

how could i change the product page to only 2 columns,
left and center,

the center size should be equal to old center and right columns.

Modify footer.tpl in your theme's directory and {* comment out *} the following code:

<!-- Right -->

               {$HOOK_RIGHT_COLUMN}

Then find the #center_column section of css/global.css in your theme's directory and add the width of #right_column and the padding to the #center_column width.

It would affect the whole sites Left bar and right bar module adjustments. so it would need a lot of work although u want to change to a single page. While switching modules it shouldnot affect the UI. So please be careful while doing this change.

Sorry, misread the original post. In that case, you should write the following in footer.tpl instead:

{if $page_name != 'category'}
<!-- Right -->

               {$HOOK_RIGHT_COLUMN}

{/if}

and in global.css, copy the #center_column section to a separate section called body#category #center_column and increase the width there.

Hi,

Would really like to try this mod just on the home page.

Does anyone have the line numbers that the modification needs to be done on, on both the footer.tpl and the global.css?

Many Thanks

To hide the right column on the homepage, change lines 4-7 of footer.tpl in your theme's directory to:

{if $page_name != 'index'}
<!-- Right -->

               {$HOOK_RIGHT_COLUMN}

{/if}

and after the #center_column section on lines 206-209 of css/global.css in your theme's directory, add:

body#index #center_column
{
   width: 775px;
   margin-left: 0;
}

Adjust the width if necessary to get the center column all the way to the right edge of the page.

Hi guys,

You will need to {* comment out *} lines 53-56 from header.tpl in your theme's directory:

<!-- Left -->

   {$HOOK_LEFT_COLUMN}
