Topic: How to remove blocks from custom php page?

[Dzonny]

I made a custom php page, with a simple code provided below:

Code: [Select]

<?php require("/home1/freelbg9/public_html/SSI.php"); 
$context['page_title_html_safe'] = 'Help Page';
template_header(); 
echo'

template_footer(); ?>

I need SP blocks to be hidden from this page. I can't hide it from admin panel, as this is not an "action" page, so I'm not sure where to go from here..
Note that I need to use clean php file for this page as I'll have more customizations that I'm gonna do, so It's easier this way.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Dzonny!

I'd reply with a counter-question. Why not putting that php code into a SimplePortal page? From the way you worded it it sounds like a completely external page.
If you place the code into a custom SP page then it's very easy to go here "action=admin;area=portalpages;sa=edit;page_id=X" and just deselect all blocks from the "Blocks" menu

There are tons of different ways you can do this but for a quick, clean and simple one, the following change in the page code you pasted above should do it:

Code: (Find) [Select]

template_header();

Code: (Replace) [Select]

$context['template_layers'] = array_diff($context['template_layers'], array('portal'));
template_header();

Thanks Sinan, will try that out!
