No problem. Let's use the featured product sidebox as an example.
Create an over-ride for the sidebox's module file. For the featured products sidebox, this would involve copying includes/modules/sideboxes/featured_products.php to includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/featured_products.php.
Open up your new sidebox module file and take a look at the code. In Zen Cart 1.3.x most will look something like this
<?php
BIG COMMENT BLOCK
// test if box should display
$show_featured= true;
if ($show_featured == true) {
MAIN PROCESSING BLOCK
}
?>
All we need to do is to change the line that reads
$show_featured= true;
into
if ($this_is_home_page) {
$show_featured = true;
} else {
$show_featured = false;
}
If your sidebox module doesn't have a conditional such as if ($show_featured == true) { ... } wrapped around the code,
then just add it (changing the variable name to something suitable and unique for your sidebox to avoid unintentionally turning off other sideboxes.
I want to display some of my sideboxes on my front page only, and suppress them from all other pages.
