Module Position Exceptions (Not In Root Directory)

[drchad]

Hello,

 

I recently just installed an add-on blog module to my site, and I do not want my custom left column and right column html from another module to display on the blog pages.  The only problem is, I can't seem to properly call out the exception under Modules>>Positons>>Edit

 

The new blog module php files are not located in the root directory (they are under modules>>blockblog folder), so Prestashop does not seem to pick up the custom exceptions when I enter the files names.  

 

Any suggestions would be very helpful, I've tried looking on every thread I can relating to this topic but I can't get a solid answer.

 

Thanks,

 

Chad

I have the same issue. I added blog and I want to hide the search box and certain thing in the top of pages, but am unable to because the blog is not in the exceptions list.

Hey vishnuo,

 

I eventually solved this problem by following the instructions in this thread:

Basically you can go into the code and manually hide the blog elements you do not want displayed, but you need to go page by page and add some code to various .tpl files, depending on the pages you do not want to display the blog content.  It's a pain to go through but it works, just read through the thread and you should understand what needs to be done.

I also found a similar solution. Here's the link:

I pretty much just edited the .php files for the modules I wanted to be displayed on every page except the blog.
