I have a main menu item which is a blog layout for all my articles. The blog layout also has modules located on both the left and right sides.

When I link to the articles, it loads the article with the modules still showing both sides.

How do I set it up so the modules don't show up when reading the articles?

The reason for this is that I would like all my articles to be the full width of my template, not squashed between modules.

Any ideas?

You might be able to add a little bit of code to disable module areas when in full article view.

e.g. right modules if the view if article view.

This article might help you a bit:

or completely confuse you.

Thanks for the suggestion Peter... my head is completely spinning now!

Must admit, I was hoping for a simpler solution

How are you linking to the articles - is it through the read more link? If so, why don't you manually set up a read more link and link to the article only. i.e. type Read More, highlight it, link to the article. This should work.

Solved using the PHP from that tutorial

whereas "<jdoc:include type="modules" name="left" style="xhtml"/>" is the html that i want to hide from the full article view. I just inserted into the index.php of the template. however, this condititional statement could be used on anything.
