Title: How to remove blocks from custom php page?
Post by: Dzonny on July 01, 2015, 07:33:24 AM

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'


It\'s our intention to provide you with correct answers to all your questions as fast as possible. To do so we\'ve set up a 2 step system. Just go with the flow from step to step to get your answers. We\'ve also included two additional options of getting help with your Freelancers Forum.<br />

<strong>Step 1: Do a forum search</strong>
<p>If you have a question you think is related to any of the topics, try a search of our community forums. The powerful search engine of Freelancers Forum will search for topics that could contain a solution to your problem.</p>

<strong>Step 2: Ask our community</strong>
<p>
If you\'ve gone through steps 1 and haven\'t found any answers to your question. Try asking it at our community. A member of our support team, or another member like yourself may know the answer you\'re looking for.</p>

<strong>Support Helpers of the Month</strong>

<p>Every month we reward a few members with the support helper of the month badge and/or a paid moderator position in recognition of their contributions. Many of these members later go on to join our support team.</p>';

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 :)

Regards

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();
