Remove sidebar in staticpages?

[bdconnolly]

Help please.

Can anyone give me a hint as to how I might remove the sidebar only with the static pages?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

Is there a specific reason why you want such a blog page to be a static page? You could simply upload a HTML file with your layout in that case, as it wouldn't really require the blog layout in this case?

You can only achieve that by editing your sidebar.tpl template file and inserting a Smarty-Check to hide the output, if you are on the specific staticpage:

Code: Select all

{if $staticpage_pagetitle != 'your_specific_staticpage'}
...here all the code of sidebar.tpl...
{/if}

Yes... I could do it by html but I already have 7 static pages and to redo all would be a pain.

With regard to the code you recommend... where exactly? Also note, I want to hide the sidebar in ALL instances not just a specific page.

Code: Select all

{if $is_raw_mode}
<div id="serendipity{$pluginside}SideBar">
{/if}
{foreach from=$plugindata item=item}
    <div class="serendipitySideBarItem container_{$item.class}">
        {if $item.title != ""}<h3 class="serendipitySideBarTitle {$item.class}">{$item.title}</h3>{/if}
        <div class="serendipitySideBarContent">{$item.content}</div>
    </div>
{/foreach}
{if $is_raw_mode}
</div>
{/if}

Hi!

Code: Select all

{if $staticpage_plugintitle == 'staticpage_title_1' OR $staticpage_plugintitle == 'staticpage_title_2' or $staticpage_plugintitle == 'staticpage_title_2'}
<!-- do nothing -->
{else}
{if $is_raw_mode}
<div id="serendipity{$pluginside}SideBar">
{/if}
{foreach from=$plugindata item=item}
    <div class="serendipitySideBarItem container_{$item.class}">
        {if $item.title != ""}<h3 class="serendipitySideBarTitle {$item.class}">{$item.title}</h3>{/if}
        <div class="serendipitySideBarContent">{$item.content}</div>
    </div>
{/foreach}
{if $is_raw_mode}
</div>
{/if}
{/if}

Replace staticpage_title_1, staticpage_title_2 etcc. with the names of your pages.

thank you!

[bdconnolly]

oops. Too fast.

test failed. {if $staticpage_plugintitle == 'About'} does nothing.

"About" is the name of the page. Am I doing it wrong?

Hi!

The right variable is $staticpage_pagetitle, sorry.

close. indeed the sidebar content disappears. But I'd like for the entire sidebar to disappear and the static entry content to assume the entire area.

Sorry for the miscommunication.

Thoughts?

in your index.tpl there must be something like

Code: Select all

{serendipity_printSidebar side="right"}

perhaps in a div or a tabel-element (depends on your template).

Do this into the if-clause.

And BTW, @Garvin: Isn't there a variable like "is_staticpage"?)

[bdconnolly]

yep, but that still leaves the "content" with the same id.

This works:

Code: Select all

<table id="mainpane">
    <tr>
{if $leftSidebarElements > 0}
        <td id="serendipityLeftSideBar" valign="top">{serendipity_printSidebar side="left"}</td>
{/if}

{if $staticpage_pagetitle == 'About'}
        <td id="staticpage" valign="top">{$CONTENT}</td>
{else} 
        <td id="content" valign="top">{$CONTENT}</td>
{/if}
{if $staticpage_pagetitle == 'About'}
<!-- do nothing -->
{else} 
{if $rightSidebarElements > 0}
        <td id="serendipityRightSideBar" valign="top">{serendipity_printSidebar side="right"}</td>
{/if}
{/if}
    </tr>
