Hide left blocks on module error pages

Site Admin Joined: Aug 22, 2007 Posts: 1772

Since some weeks i'm working on the theme for my radio page to get it ready for bootstrap and i stumbled again over a very old problem.

Anyone who has intensively engaged with creating themes knows how it works to hide the left/right blocks for modules and other definded areas in the themeheader() function but it exists one area which is out of this control - the module error pages (module not found, restricted area etc.). These error pages are a hard-coded part in the modules.php but there is nothing what you can use in a theme to hide the left blocks.

To solve this problem i created a simple definition before each "$pagetitle = ..." codeline. There are 4 places which need this modifiaction.

php Code:

} else {


   define('MODULE_ERROR', true); # << added definition


   $pagetitle = '- ' . _RESTRICTEDAREA;


   include_once 'header.php';


   OpenTable();


   echo '<div class="text-center"><span class="thick">' , _RESTRICTEDAREA , '</span><br />'


          , _GOBACK , '</div>';


   CloseTable();


   include_once 'footer.php';


   die();


}

After that we can use it now in the themeheader() function of a theme like this:

php Code:

if ($name !='Forums' && $name !='xyz' && !defined('MODULE_ERROR')) {


    blocks(left);


}

I don't know how it will work in RavenCMS but if should follow the module-structure the same way as in RN25x, then it would be a helpful modification to declare something like this in order to create themes without left blocks.

BTW: After a lot of work on wordpress in the last months for customers i'm so happy to be back in RN and change my own shizzle. It's a feeling to get back the control and it feels soo good!

Thanks, neralex! Can you list the 4 places where this needs to change for anyone else who might want to do this?

... for sure, this is my modules.php:

Thanks. This highlights the need for an error page function...
