How to disable sidebar on front page [#1301346]

Hi,

I'm starting with Omega and I find it great but I don't know much about the system. If you have any good documentation (except the official one) to advise me that would be great.

So my problem is the following : I can't succeed to configure the sidebar (first or second). My goal is to disable the sidebar_first on the front page but even empty the region is still showing. Any idea how to get through this ?

Thanks for your help !

Edit : FYI I'm using Omega theme as base theme (in opposition of the Alpha one)

Welcome to Omega! This is exactly what Delta and Context are good for doing. Go grab Delta and Context and enable both modules. Then you'll find delta under appearance. Create a new delta of your subtheme and inside this delta disable the sidebar region. Save the delta and head out to context where you can put a condition of path: and response of Delta: (name of your new Delta). Clear caches and you're ready to go! Drop blocks into your sidebar and watch them only get rendered on the frontpage!

Quentin, Cellar had a great answer if you want to disable Sidebar 1 on one page or another (in fact, I have used Delta and Connect to do just the opposite of what you want to do, - I display Sidebar 2 only on my front page, and have my content section wider on the rest of my pages).

To "disable" the sidebar, go into the Theme Administration->Zone and Region Configuration->Content Section->Content Zone->Regions->Sidebar First. Change the Zone to - None - and it will disappear.

If you want to to be hidden on your main page, but show on others, then follow Cellar Door's advice and set up one a Delta with Context to show your sidebar for ~ (or set one up to hide it on ).
