Hiding categories in columns on Homepage

[donnie1992]

Hello,

 

How can i disable the the categories in the sidebar on the homepage, but making it visible in any other view, like the product view, category view etc.

Is that possible?

Also on the CMS block module in the footer i cant seem to change the maximum amount of categorys displayed, changing the depth in the module settings does nothing.

I never did it before but I guess you can try editing "blockcategories.tpl" inside modules/blockcategories

and change line 28: <div id="categories_block_left" class="block">

to

 

{if $page_name == 'index'}

<div id="categories_block_left" class="block" style="display:none;">

{else}

<div id="categories_block_left" class="block">

{/if}

Ah, and i could do this to every module i dont want displayed on the main page right?

If this works, thanks!

Yes, just make sure you are hiding the main div
