Hi!

I would like to know, how could I hide main content block only on frontpage?
Right now if I set Hide Main content block to Yes in Global settings this block is hidden on all the pages.

Thanks

You can create a new profile in template parameters and then, set override for content block to hide for specific profile

Then, You can assign this profile for homepage

You should use some extensions to load module in an article (don’t need to hide content).

If using JA-Social J1.6 I discovered that you set up the profile overide in the Page Assignments on the lefthand side in Template Manager.

In Pages ‘click to add’ gives you a list to pick from, choose Main Menu -> home (mine showed an id number 435 when picked)
In Profiles ‘click to add’ gives you a list of profiles, hopefully including yours, to pick from.

A minor point. I think the no-entry icon for remove an override should be changed to an X.

I’m facing same problems with the main content block, and those above answers are helpful, many thanks. However, I’m getting another problems too, I did make another profile as above instructrion to hide main content block but not only in my front page but also in another menu pages, problem is, when I hid the main block, the single article pages are also hidden.
Is there anyways to solve that issue?

Hi nebfx,

Seem that you also assign that profile (which hide main content) to other menu item which that article belongs to. Hence, it also hides the main content block in that article page. Please check this profile again

JAT3 v2 has option so that you can create different profiles and assign to different pages so you can create another profile and assign to menu item of page you want to hide main content ONLY.

Remember to clean JAT3 cache once done.

Best
