Modify Side Bar Deep Sea Template

[arkmo +]

I am using DEEPSEA template and have been able to modify most aspects but I can' t seem to be able to modify the left sidebar for just the main page. If I modify it in "layout" it shows on all pages and distorts portions of the footer. I have a lot of wasted space that could be used for advertising but can't seem find the way to modify just that page.

Thanks
Mike

*added note I am using the designer series not the developer.

layout.tpl IS the header and left nav for all pages hence why when you modify it it changes on all pages.

If you have content you only want to appear when the body is something other than the home page you can use conditional smarty logic in the layout template to control when its displayed.

Thanks but that would be over my head. I figured it might be something like that but was hoping there was a simple way that I was just missing.

Again thanks

You will need to put code in your layout.tpl file which tests for the specific page you wish this content to appear in the sidebar.
