Remove Sidebar From Story Pages

[MrMelB]

Hello!
First I just wanted to let you guys know that I love Pligg! It is great.

Is it possible to have the sidebar on the main page different from
the sidebar on the story pages? Or even remove it from the story pages?

Thanks!

Open Pligg.tpl and find

{include file=$tpl_right_sidebar.".tpl"}

If you don't want to show the sidebar on the story page you can change it to

{if $pagename neq "story"}{include file=$tpl_right_sidebar.".tpl"}{/if}

I do not know exactly why you would remove the sidebar when you view a story, plus it would be tricky since the story and sidebar tpls are called by the primary php page.

Now changing what shows up on the sidebar is a different matter,you can do that with a simple check if the name of the page is story.

Something like:

{if $pagename eq "story"}
choose to show something here
{else} 
choose to show something else here
{/if}

I have not tested it, but I think that should work. I am sure one of the developers can confirm this.

Be Well,

Thanks for the replies!
Perfect!

What I am trying to do is use that space on the story pages for ad space since if a viewer wanted to use something on the sidebar, they could just go back to the home page.
