Hide Sidebar on VM product page only

Hi there, I am trying to make it so that the sidebar does not display on VM product pages only. but must display in category view.

The sidebar modules are only set to display in the menu item for the VM category but when you click on a product, it still loads the sidebar even though its not associated with a link from products. I assume its because it is getting the same settings from the category.

So my question is how do I make it so the sidebar does not appear in my VM product pages?

Here is my temp URL www.kanzenint.com/iaso and if you go to Backup Plans menu link, thats where the category and products are listed.

Thanks.

Hi

I think You just need to add this code to product layout in /html/com_virtuemart/productdetails/default.php

Code: Select all

<style type="text/css">
#gkSidebar { display: none; }
</stlye>

Thanks I will give it a shot. Didnt know I could do that on a VM template

Hi

Adding a css inside code is not the most elegant way of doing it, but this time it's required to remove sidebar only from product detail layout.

HI, I just tried this and it removed the sidebar but the rest of the page including #GKbottom etc have disappeared. Is there a particular place or in some other coding I need to put as I put it at the very top and the first 30 or so lines are this:

Code: Select all

<style type="text/css">
#gkSidebar { display: none; }
</stlye>

Is ok, I noticed you typed 'Style' as stlye. So I have fixed that now. Seems to be ok. Thanks.

Hi

Very sorry for that. A common typo mistake. 'm glad it's working now
