Do not show right blocks in forum

How can I deactivate the whole right side of the page in my forum?

That depends

That depends on a couple of factors, for instance:
What version of Drupal are you using;
Are you using PHPtemplate or Xtemplate (only for Drupal < 4.7);
What theme are you running;
Do you have blocks set up to display in the right sidebar.

If you have blocks set up to display in the right sidebar, you'll have to set the visibility of each block to be hidden when you acces the forums. You can do this in administer -> blocks, and then set the block to hide on url forum* . Replace forum with whatever url aliases you might have set, if applicable.

This should work for most default situations. If you have some really arcane setup you should give some information on that, but judging from the question I doubt that.

I also interested in the solution for this.

Hiding blocks for forum doesn't completely solve the problem because they will appear when you go to forum topic node page.

I tried to combine hiding by path and by content type but this won't help.

i know

yes, as duke said, that is node-specific, that means if you open a thread, the old blocks are there again!

I am using drupal 4.6.5 with phptemplate and a modified friendselectric
my forum is themed with flatforum and custom template additions

is it really that

is it really that difficult??
I can't imagine that, but I can also not imagine how to get a nice solution :D

Maybe it's possible with another theme which is only used for forums besides the default theme for the rest of the page...
hm, i think I'll try this....
