How to get rid of the displayed articles on front page..
-
-
I'm looking to make the displayed articles area on my home page disappear altogether. If you don't know what I'm talking about, goto
bearsboards.com
, and it's the big orange box under "popular" and "latest news" with article about a logo contest..
I want to get rid of this altogether because the RT scroller already does a pretty nice job of displaying any new stories, and to have this article area underneath is just very redundant.. I've seen joomla sites before that didn't have article areas.
Does anyone know how to disable it?

If you are in Joomla 1.0.XX, try this...
<?php if ($option!="com_frontpage") : ?> <?php mosMainbody(); ?> <?php endif; ?>
This will show the articles an every page except the home page... - --

- That is based on the template's index.php file.

Ok,.. but more specifically,.. where on the index.php file... here is a complete copy and paste of my index.php file..

Could someone perhaps just make the necessary change and post the "new" index.php file?..
Thanks.

It worked!... Thanks so much guys..
The only issue with it is that it left sort of an odd orange "bar" where the articles used to be.. But oddly enough it sort of looks alright.. I think I can just live with it... The only thing that would make it better is if i could put an image in there, so I could give it some "accent". Anyone know if that's doable? If not no biggy..
I appreciate all of your help guys. This forum has been a tremendous resource for me..

Try this to get rid of that bar.
<?php if ($option!="com_frontpage") : ?> <div class="mainbody"> <?php if ($show_pathway == "true") : ?> <?php mosPathway(); ?> <?php endif; ?> <?php mosMainbody(); ?> </div> <?php endif; ?> - --
