I did a search on the forums on how to hide/show all blocks in a module but I didnt find anything, I know someone helped me with this before timeeeeeee ago but i couldnt find it...

basically.. seee.. [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] and check out the forums for example or the your account module.... i want the left side blocks to still show.. I know there is some code somewhere that makes this modules go the width of the page hidding the blocks...

Thanks Very Happy

You can hide the right blocks by adding a setting in the module index.php file, but to do this for all blocks would require theme changes, I think.

The setting to add to hide right blocks is:

index = 0;

See this for more information.

ok i just had a spark of inteligence lol and i remembered this was to do with the theme... just in case anyone else gets something like this in the theme folder of the them you using open theme.php and look around line 380 (this can change a lot with diff themes) and find something like this...

."<td width=\"165\" valign=\"top\">\n";

if ( ."<td width=\"165\" valign=\"top\">\n";

if (($name=='Forums') OR ($name=='Private_Messages') OR ($name=='Members_List') OR ($name=='Shopping_Cart') OR ($name=='Your_Account')) {

} else {

blocks(left);

}

echo "</td>\n" OR ($name=='Private_Messages') OR ($name=='Members_List') OR ($name=='Shopping_Cart') OR ($name=='Your_Account')) {

} else {

blocks(left);

}

echo "</td>\n"

So all i did was take out the names of the modules i didnt need to show on full screen like

($name=='Forums')

anyway thanks Razz
