How would I go about removing the left column in the Amadou theme for story pages?

I created a page-story.tpl.phpand removed the left column, but it does not appear to be making a difference.

Any ideas?

thank you in advance,

Cherie

Add the following to Amadou's template.php file:

function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars) {
  if ($hook == 'page' && isset($vars['node'])) {
    $vars['template_file'] = 'page-'. $vars['node']->type;
  }

  return $vars;
}

Now page-story.tpl.php will work; although, you may not like the results.

Amadou has a built-in feature that extends the width of the main content if sidebar(s) are absent. With the above approach, this will not happen and the main content's width will be as if two sidebars are still present.

You can read more about controlling block visibility, which may help you with a better solution, at the following URL: http://drupal.org/node/64135

Thank you for the answer.

I figured out how to make that left column go away.

This site is finally coming along.
