Remove right column from product pages

[badger1010]

What do I have to change to remove the right column from product and product list pages?

Then I want to expand the short description area across to the right hand side.

To hide the right column on product and category pages, change lines 4-8 (in PrestaShop v1.3.1) of footer.tpl in your theme's directory from:

<!-- Right -->

                   {$HOOK_RIGHT_COLUMN}

to:

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

                   {$HOOK_RIGHT_COLUMN}


{/if}

Then add the following to your CSS to widen the center column on those pages:

body#product #center_column, body#category #center_column { width: 750px }

Change 750px to an appropriate width.

You may need to add to these changes if you want search results, new products, etc to also display without the right column.

I found the following two code changes are required (changed to 490):

#primary_block #image-block {
   border: #d0d1d5 solid 1px;
   height: 490px;
   width: 490px

#primary_block #image-block img#bigpic { 
   cursor: pointer; 
   height: 490px;
   width: 490px
}
