Dear all,
I am newbie to Magento platform.
How do you control the JM_wall (ja-sidebar) sidebar column content? I have demo site and there is content in the sidebar on some of my pages. How do you add or remove those blocks?
Thank you in advance.

Hi theexten,
The sidebar displays child-blocks of left and right blocks, you can add or remove those blocks for a specific pages by searching for any block which has reference is left or right at those page layout files , For example if you want to remove the callout left and right blocks, open the catalog layout file of app\design\frontend\default\jm_haga\layout\catalog .xml and remove those block tags
HTML Code:
<!-- Mage_Catalog --> <reference name="left"> <block type="core/template" name="left.permanent.callout" template="callouts/left_col.phtml"> <action method="setImgSrc"><src>images/media/col_left_callout.jpg</src></action> <action method="setImgAlt" translate="alt" module="catalog"><alt>Our customer service is available 24/7. Call us at (555) 555-0123.</alt></action> <action method="setLinkUrl"><url>checkout/cart</url></action> </block> </reference> <reference name="right"> <block type="catalog/product_compare_sidebar" before="cart_sidebar" name="catalog.compare.sidebar" template="catalog/product/compare/sidebar.phtml"/> <block type="core/template" name="right.permanent.callout" template="callouts/right_col.phtml"> <action method="setImgSrc"><src>images/media/col_right_callout.jpg</src></action> <action method="setImgAlt" translate="alt" module="catalog"><alt>Keep your eyes open for our special Back to School items and save A LOT!</alt></action> </block> </reference>
Hope you got it, let me know if still any doubts you have.
