You can test for what page you are on or based on a condition and using IF or CASE statements define which boxes appear on which page and when ...

or you can just include other ones in the actual page manually. The boxes are (from html point of view) nothing more then:

 

<tr>

 <td>

  content

 </td>

</tr>

 

The only thing column_left.php and column_right.php do is dropping them all in there (with a few checks you might need to copy).

Thank you again

that really depends on what you want done... can't really put a price on

 

is it possible to keep different info boxes on different pages.

Why don't you expand on what you really want, like what boxes on what pages and let's see if we can't whip something together for you. :D

To remove the right column edit default.php and near the bottom:

 

<!-- body_text_eof //-->

<?php

// BOF: WebMakers.com Added: Turn off right column on default.php

if ( !(strstr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],'default.php')) ) {

?>

   <td width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" valign="top"><table border="0" width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">

<!-- right_navigation //-->

<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'column_right.php'); ?>

<!-- right_navigation_eof //-->

   </table></td>

<?php

}

// EOF: WebMakers.com Added: Turn off right column on default.php

?>

 </tr>

</table>

<!-- body_eof //-->

 

For the moving of the items from column to colum you will need to do a similar test inside the columns for each box.

 

You can copy each box to both columns, then add an if statement to check what page you are on and then decide what to show or not show.
