Single-column layout

[LoisM]

Hello

I don't know if this has been asked before, but is it possible to have a single-column layout throughout the site, with no left or right columns (a bit like the Archiduchesse site)? I don't have many products or alot of categories, so I just want to keep the layout really clean and simple. I have the Julien Breux Top Menu module installed, so I don't need a left column.

Thanks.

EDITED TO ADD: Ah, adding #left_column { display: none; } in global.css seems to work rather well! Is there a more sensible way I should be going about this?

It is better to comment out the columns instead of using CSS to hide them. See my post here for the code for the left and right columns. Simply adding {* before and *} after those two code snippets to remove them from your website.

Hi Rocky, thanks for your help again. Not sure I follow your instructions there. My header.tpl doesn't mention the left column, both left and right are mentioned at the top of footer.tpl, like this:

   {if !$content_only}
{$HOOK_LEFT_COLUMN}

{$HOOK_RIGHT_COLUMN}

I'm using Matrice.

Thanks.

I'm not familiar with that theme, but I would guess that change it to the following should work:

   {if !$content_only}
   {*{$HOOK_LEFT_COLUMN}

{$HOOK_RIGHT_COLUMN}*}
