vBulletin CMS Widgets - Remove Primary Content Widget

This is for removing the primary content widget from the CMS homepage/index and keeping it only on the pages you desire.

Only Admins will be able to see it on the CMS homepage/index for page setting purposes. Just put your mouse where the primary content box would be and you will see the edit pencil image come up.

Many thanks to Lynne for the help.

You MUST change the variables to the names of your pages.

Examples:

MY SITE URL/content.php?1-home
1-home is my CMS index so I would change 1-name_here to 1-home and the first line would look like:

<vb:if condition="$_GET['r'] == '1-home' OR !$_GET['r']">

MY SITE URL/content.php?2-docs
2-docs is one of my CMS pages so I would change x-name_here to 2-docs and the line would look like:

<vb:if condition="$_GET['r'] == '2-docs'">

If you have multiple pages then the line above will look something like this:

<vb:if condition="$_GET['r'] == '2-docs' OR '3-pagename' OR '4-pagename'">

1) Find the vbcms_content_section_page template

2) Replace contents with this. (You MUST change the variables to the names of your pages as shown in the examples above)

<vb:if condition="$_GET['r'] == '1-name_here' OR !$_GET['r']">
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 6)">

UPDATED CONDITIONAL STATEMENT TO SHOW THE EDIT PENCIL AGAIN TO ADMINS Tested and working in 4.2.1.

Was:

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6)">

Updated to:

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 6)">

Please mark 'Installed' if you are using this template edit. I will be happy to help if you are having problems getting it working.

Hrm, I am having a problem, and not sure what is happening.

<vb:if condition="$_GET['r'] == '120-change-the-world' OR '121-clients' OR '122-directory' OR '124-news_1' OR '128-human-resources' OR '129-GGOB' OR '130-resources' OR '131-education'">

As soon as I add any "OR 'X'" to the code, the "Primary Content" returns on the 1-home page. If I just have any of the pages listed singular, it's works as expected, hiding the PC on all the other pages that aren't listed.

The end result I am shooting for is to have the PC hidden on 1-home, and visible on all the others. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem.

Gamers - I was never able to get this particular solution to work, but Wayne_Luke's (over on vbulletin.com) is getting the job done for me - might check it out if you haven't.

[GamersChallenge]

thanks jokorey, I founded and it works.

so easy, how did I not think of that?

for anyone else looking for this you can find it here, https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...-in-a-section?

[thejohnnybrown]

If (like me) all you want is to remove the primary content widget from all pages, just do this:

1) Find the vbcms_content_section_page template.

2) Enclose everything in between: <vb:comment> . . . </vb:comment> (comment it all out)

I just did this on a new v4.1.10 install and it is still working for me. Are you still have problems?

Hi someone tell me how to find the vbcms_content_section_page template...please

[Sherrie]

Hello, is this still an issue in 4.2? I'd hate to think that after moving all of my main pages to the CMS I will now get penalised for cloaking? I looked at the layouts and primary content looks to be the main content of the page? but it doesn't appear to be called a widget?

This is the first time I have used any kind of CMS on my site.

Yes, you can still use this for 4.2.x
