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.

FYI: This also works in 4.1.5 too.

A couple of changes are needed...

In your first conditional, you need to close the <div> that aligns everything to the right.

In your second conditional, that should be != instead of ==. As written it shows the primary for the one you want to hide it with and doesn't show it on any others.

Thanks for the looking at this edit. I added the closing </div>.

I am a little confused with the "!= instead of ==". I tried it but that caused the primary content widget to show on the index to all, and not on my other pages at all. For now I will leave it as is since it is working for me.

I did try using the <vb:elseif condition> and <vb:else /> to make it a bit cleaner, but it did not work.

For the second issue, I guess it depends on what you put for x-name-here. I used my 1-box-office value as that is what my home page is called. So it only showed the primary content on the homepage without showing it elsewhere.

Good job though. Much better than my previous method which was to stick it in a widget area and then use CSS to hide that area.

You are replacing the vbcms_content_section_page template with the code I have posted. The text in red are the variables in which you have to change as they are unique to your site.

Link me to your site so I can see your page names and we'll go from there.
