Edit the sidebar on eDirectory

This is information that will help you edit your eDirectory site sidebar.

First you’ll need to know these paths:

/custom/domain_1/theme/default/body/listing_detail.php

If you copy, cut and upload that file, you’ll see your header and footer still.

Look for this in the above file:

include(LISTING_EDIRECTORY_ROOT.”/join.php”);

LISTING_EDIRECTORY_ROOT is the directory of the page you are on – it’s within the public/root directory.

If you delete it you’ll be able to remove it from the page. If you want to, you can edit a number of parts of your sidebar – actually whatever is there. The files listed on the site I’m working on has these files:

<? include(LISTING_EDIRECTORY_ROOT.”/join.php”); ?>
<? include(LISTING_EDIRECTORY_ROOT.”/detail_maps.php”); ?>
<? include(LISTING_EDIRECTORY_ROOT.”/detail_deals.php”); ?>
<? include(LISTING_EDIRECTORY_ROOT.”/detail_reviews.php”); ?>
<? include(LISTING_EDIRECTORY_ROOT.”/detail_checkin.php”); ?>
<? include(EDIRECTORY_ROOT.”/frontend/banner_featured.php”); ?>
<? include(EDIRECTORY_ROOT.”/frontend/banner_sponsoredlinks.php”); ?>
<? include(EDIRECTORY_ROOT.”/frontend/googleads.php”); ?>

If you’re somewhat good at coding you should be able to play around. Adding a double forward slash (//) before “include” in the above code will comment out that section, and so it won’t display on your page.
