oscommerce remove right column

zeberrun

oscommerce 2,3,1 i want to show right column only index.php. i use 960 grid (24,12,6) default, center grid_12, columns grid_6. if there is no right column, center grid size become 18, calculating left column grid_6 and center grid_12. but if right column active than center grid become 12.
changing the line 1 with the code below, right column is seen in index.php. with this code right column removes in all the pages but the place of right column is empty. i mean center column still is grid_12.
_
i do not understand setGridContentWidth is defined in template_top and osc_template. how it becomes 12 or 18. the if else statements are not finished.

question

how can i say if index.php show default left column grid_6, center column grid_12 right_column grid_6. but if it is not index.php, show only left column and make center column gird_18.

Can you hide it in CSS?

#right_column {    /* or whatever it's called */
   display:none;
}

Of course, I could be missing the point 😉

It's been years since I did anything with OSCommerce, but I seem to recall that every single godforsaken page was a bunch of HTML (including doctypes and header tags, etc.) and a bunch of PHP all mixed together. A total mess in other words. Hiding it using CSS may be easy or not. My advice would be to start stripping out the columns -- and all the other html-- and start trying to work in some kind of template-driven system.
