Hide Blocks @ Forum

Hi,

I would like to hide all the blocks (right and left) when users access the forum (modules/newbb) so only the forum and the header and footer are displayed.

I've tried with $xoopsOption['show_rblock'] = 0; in the newbb/index.php file, but it doesn't seem to work (the right block is still displayed).

I'm running XOOPS v2.0.7.3.

Set the blocks to not appear in the Newbb module?

Hmm, how do I do this? Manually within the template or via an option in the .php files?

Administration Menu -> System Admin -> Blocks -> edit block

Hmm, I don't think you understood me. :)

I would like to hide all the left blocks (left side) only with the forum (newbb) module.

Here's the example site: http://gw.tr0n.org/.

So when a user selects Forum from the left menu, only the forum should be displayed without the left side with the blocks and menus.

I can't set the blocks to appear everywhere but the Forum module.

There is an option $xoopsOption['show_lblock'] = 0 but it doesn’t seem to work.

Many themes are hard-coded to show the left column regardless of whether there are any blocks in that column.
I presume there is a reason for it, but I don't know it.

maybe u can modify the theme to achieve this.

just like this
<{if <{$xoopsModule}> == "newbb"}>
<!--left block begin -->
<tr>
<td>
...
</td>
</tr>
<!--end left block-->
<{/if}>

i forgot if the <{$xoopsModule}> variable exist or i spell it correctly.

Hmm, that could work but I don't think the $XoopsModule variable is returned or accesible in the theme.html.

EDIT: Nope, can't get any info about the currently used module. Or I'm doing something wrong.

Man, I didn't know it was so dificult to just disable a block in a module.

Ok, finally! It's all in the $xoops_pagetitle variable.

le="color: #000000"><?php <{if $xoops_pagetitle != "Forum"}> <!-- Start left blocks loop --> <{foreach item=block from=$xoops_lblocks}> <table class="left_block_table" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td class="left_block_title" align="left" >&nbsp;<{$block.title}></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" class="left_block_content" ><{$block.content}></td> </tr> </table> <{/foreach}> <!-- End left blocks loop --> <{/if}>

This includes the default theme. I've been intending to look for a workaround but haven't got around to it yet

edit: I haven't been working on the site that needs it lately, and I forgot about the issue actually.
