V4.1.x Modifying Home Page using TemplateCodes

[dysartwebs]

I have started working on the design for our new website. I purchased TemplateCodes to give me a good starting poing and need some help with the home page. I would like to hide the left column only on the home page and want it to appear on all the other pages. I didn't know if there was something simple I could do to accomplish this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.


68C Version: v4.1.3 Developer
TemplateCodes: 2.0

New to smarty templates so a little a bit of a learning curve. Fixed it with

{if $script_name == "index.php"}
{else}
<div class="col_left_sidebar" style="float: left; left: 10px;position: relative;">
{foreach from=$left_col item=row}
{include file=$row.template}
{/foreach}
</div> {/if}

Yes you can do that but it is going to leave a big gap between the view window and the right hand column. You will probably need make a 2nd modified style sheet and rescale some images too. This would then be referenced from a second layout.tpl file (used only by the home page). Well there are probably other solutions using javascript but that this comes to mind first of all. There is a post about using multiple layout templates in this forum.
