I would say that this is a bad way to modify the layout and “hack” the logic of the system, that is very simple: If there are any modules in a “block”, like left or right column, then the block will display, if not, the block will not display

If you want any column not to display on a particular page, you need to make sure that there are no modules (boxes) added to the column for that page

The logic need to be inside the module. You can do this either by modifying each of the boxes code manually or by using some kind of management system, like for example mini template system’s page profiles, take a look: http://minitemplatesystem.com/usage/content-managers/dynamic-page-profiles/

i have just seen here. i searched oscommerce forums, read many articles.

product pages of many sites are without right column but index have.
i need to code template_top, bottom and osc_template.php or one of them.
i started from template bottom and this code works perfect.

hasBlocks(‘boxes_column_right’) && basename($PHP_SELF) == FILENAME_DEFAULT) {
?>

this modification shows right column index.php but in the other pages the place of right column is still empty or grid 12. (in 960 grid scale (24,12,6)) if no right column selected, grid is 18 in all the pages. when right column is active than grid default is 12. i guess this comes from template top. the below code defines the grid 12 or 18. but it is too complicated for me.

It must be grid 12 in index.php must turn to grid 18 if other pages are called. there must be a very small adding.
