Hi,
I'd like to hide left and right column on all my forum-pages and use the whole width for central column (displayin topics). How could I do that?
I know there is a "page specific visibility settings" for each block, which I could use. But how can I filter all forum-related content out, and nothing more?
I left "show on every page except the listed pages" setting activated, and in "page" I put:
forum forum/*
It works well, but only for all forum listing-pages. When I click on certain forum-topic, blocks are displayed again, because url is "/content/<topic>".
And that is the problem: if I add "content/*" to the above mentioned settings, it will work, but for every content on my web-page. And I do not want it for every content, only for forum-content. But I do not know how to distinguish between forum-content, and generally any content...

There are different ways to do what you want. It sounds like the simplest would be to use Path Auto module and make all your forum URLs something like "forum/[nid]"
that will allow you to better filter blocks using the page visibility settings.
another way is to get your hands dirty with the page.tpl.php file and start putting some php conditional stuff in there so the entire sidebars won't appear when there's a forum topic loaded...again, you'll probably need to give all forum topics a "forum/xxx" type URL for that to work

Thanks, seems to be a good idea. But if I understand correctly, it will change paths only for topics created from now, but not the old one. How can I update aliases for old content? Do I have to edit it manually? And if I do, is it sure I do not brake old links, if I change path aliases of already created content?
And one more thing: what about comments? They have "comment/edit/[node]" and "comment/reply/[node]" links. How can I change comment/edit & comment/reply links, but again only for forum-topics? I did not find it in pathauto settings...

You can delete and recreate aliases:

Maybe the Path Redirect module (http://drupal.org/project/path_redirect) might be able to help you...
Good luck! :)

there's an option on Path auto config page...something like "give these aliases to all nodes without alias" so it gives them to old content.
what I didn't understand in your initial question was that you seemed to want the entire left and right regions to not appear when viewing forum topics....disabling blocks in those regions, you'd still get the regions themselves appearing, so is that what you're after or not? The only way I can think of to get the regions themselves not being created, and thus allowing your design to stretch right across the screen, would be the second method I mentioned, altering your theme's page.tpl.php file and wrapping the code for left and right regions in conditional php based on the page URL.
something like
if URL != "/forum/..." print $left_region
I have some similar stuff in my own page.tpl.php to print a region only in certain areas of the site and it works fine.
