3 tiers on main page, 2 tiers on others... how can i?

Posted by osmorphyus on October 14, 2009 at 10:19pm

whats up?

im finally turnign my site around, and making some headway here. i now have a question about site layout. by default, my site is split into 3 tiers: left, middle, right. on my main page, i want all 3 tiers to display. however, when users visit the forums i would like the site to switch into a 2 tier'd system, removing the left tier.

is this possible? right now, with 3 tiers, the middle is rather constricted for reading forums, so i would really like to be able to lose the left tier on visiting the forums.

how? you did read my question, right?

i know about disabling blocks overall, but disabling them on one page, and having them open on the next is different.

block settings

Go in to edit each block. There is an area toward the bottom of the block settings that lets you exclude blocks on certain pages, or only show blocks on certain pages. Type in the pages you wish to exclude/include the block on. You can also use *. For example: if I want to exclude a block for all admin pages, I choose the exclude option and write admin/* in the textarea.

ahhhh, awesome! great tip, thanks alot!

EDIT:
hmm, neat tip, but stranegly not working out...

option:
show on every page except listed pages:
page is: http://www.squamoussupport.info/home/forum

and blocks are still showing on my forums pages. any ideas, anyone?

EDIT AGAIN:
resolved!

use drupal names instead of direct URLs. hence using 'forum' corrects the issue. thanks!

no, actually this is screwed up.

i edit the pages in the dialog box for 'do not display', and for one part they work, for another they dont.

heres what i have:
forum/*
node/1*
/node/add/forum/*

i dont want these to load during any forum parts, and they are. where do i not need them? adding to forums, replying to forums, viewing/reading forums, any part of the forums that you can think of. any advice?

FINAL EDIT - ISSUE RESOLVED:
see the / before node? i do now! problem solved.
