global areas

Permalink
Hi there
I know something similar has been asked before but the answers didn't quite suit me.
Is there an easy way to add a page to a site that does not have the global area blocks as the rest of the site in both the header and the footer.
I don't want to eliminate the header or footer.
BTW the theme is Supermint3 and header.php has no reference to " global-area". footer.php however does reference it.
cms is concrete5.7
Many thanks in anticipation.

You're probably going to need a custom page template.

Hi
Thanks for responding but how do I get one of those if you don't mind me asking.

It requires writing (or at least editing) some php code, so it would be safest to get a developer to do it.

But hopefully I'm wrong about this being necessary at all.

Hi Gondwana
The coding isn't a problem. The problem is that I'm new to C5.
It's OK now as I've used a workaround.
Thanks

What workaround did you use? I'm wrestling with the same issue

You can create another theme page template in application/themes/YOUR-THEME, e.g. copy and rename the default.php there, edit it the way you want by combining the header and footer from the /elements and apply the new template to your page - that's it.
