hide bars

[Eran]

i want to hide the left bar on the main page but to have it on the forums page.
the only option i have is to have it on the main page and if i want to hide it on the forums...

i use tp v0.8.6

[gfxindia]

lol that's impossible in tp 0.86
i doubt this feature in the next release too.
most people wouldn't like it that way.

[Eran]

you mean that i need to edit the theme files for that or to wait for the next version?

BTW
can i remove the collapse buttons for the bars (not the blocs) or the same answer goes for that too?

If you turn off the blocks for show on the frontpage, it wont show up in the forum eather.
The next version of TP will be the same.

[gfxindia]

yesy you can remove the collapse buttons for bars.
please wait while i search for that codes.

// TinyPortal
if($context['TPortal']['showtop'])
echo '<a href="#" onclick="shrinkHeader(!current_header); return false;"><img id="upshrink" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? 'upshrink.gif' : 'upshrink2.gif', '" alt="*" title="', $txt['upshrink_description'], '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" /></a><img id="upshrinkTemp" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/blank.gif" alt="" style="margin-right: 1ex;" /> ';
if($context['TPortal']['leftbar'])
echo '<a href="#" onclick="shrinkHeaderLeftbar(!current_leftbar); return false;"><img id="upshrinkLeftbar" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', empty($options['collapse_leftbar']) ? 'upshrink.gif' : 'upshrink2.gif', '" alt="*" title="', $txt['upshrink_description'], '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" /></a><img id="upshrinkTempLeftbar" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/blank.gif" alt="" style="margin-right: 0ex;" />';
// TinyPortal end

Code Select Expand

// Tp crip
if($context['TPortal']['rightbar'])
echo '&nbsp;<a href="#" onclick="shrinkHeaderRightbar(!current_rightbar); return false;"><img id="upshrinkRightbar" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', empty($options['collapse_rightbar']) ? 'upshrink.gif' : 'upshrink2.gif', '" alt="*" title="', $txt['upshrink_description'], '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" /></a><img id="upshrinkTempRightbar" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/blank.gif" alt="" style="margin-right: 0ex;" />';

The lines that say crip etc are just comments you may not fint them in your template

Remember to BACKUP the file you change before remove and add in some other code
That way you don't have to get furious when you get errors from it

[Eran]

just added // so I'm not worried :]
