How do I completely remove right hand column?

[chessman]

I need to completely remove the right hand colum and increase the width of the center (thats the welcome page, new products etc) 100% to the right so takes up all the space where the right hand column used to be, but the left hand column remains untouched.

 

Another thing I need to change is the spacing between category titles on left hand column, currently they look very squashed together. If possible would also like to add in horizontal lines between each category title as a seperator.

 

Thanks in advance

In catalog/index.php find for the code

<!-- body_text_eof //-->
<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>

 

comment all. That will solve your first problem.

In catalog/includes/classes/boxes.php in around line 120

 

	  $info_box_contents = array();
  $info_box_contents[] = array(array('params' => 'height="20" valign=top class="infoBoxHeading"',
									 'text' => $left_corner),
							   array('params' => 'width="100%" height="20" class="infoBoxHeading"',
									 'text' => $contents[0]['text']),
							   array('params' => 'height="20" valign=top class="infoBoxHeading" nowrap',
									 'text' => $right_corner));

 

change to

 

	  $info_box_contents = array();
  $info_box_contents[] = array(array('params' => 'height="20" valign=top class="infoBoxHeading"',
									 'text' => $left_corner),
							   array('params' => 'width="100%" height="20" class="infoBoxHeading"',
									 'text' => $contents[0]['text']),
							   array('params' => 'height="20" valign=top class="infoBoxHeading" nowrap',
									 'text' => $right_corner));

In catalog/includes/boxes/categories.php around line 74/75 find

 

  while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query))  {
$tree[$categories['categories_id']] = array('name' => $categories['categories_name'],
											'parent' => $categories['parent_id'],

 

change it as

  while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query))  {
$tree[$categories['categories_id']] = array('name' => '<hr>'.$categories['categories_name'],
											'parent' => $categories['parent_id'],

 

that's it :rolleyes:
