there on setting ->template choose not show my template

[haha]

hey,I just post image to describe my problem

there i have a page "brands", I don't wanna the 'brands's sidebar' shown his children pages.

so I went to make another head.inc ,named "brands-head.inc" and  'brands-basic-page.php' which would grab 'brands-head.inc'.

there are parts of my 'brands-head.inc' code

    <div id="content" class="content">

        <div class="container">

            <div id="sidebar">

<!---I had delete the child page content here --->

                <div class='sidebar_item'>

                    <?php

                    // if the current page has a populated 'sidebar' field, then print it,
                    // otherwise print the sidebar from the homepage
                    
                    if($page->sidebar) echo $page->sidebar;
                        else echo $homepage->sidebar;
                    ?>

                </div>

            </div><!--/sidebar-->

Then why in the page setting tab, I can't find my "brands-basic-page" template?

Creating a template php file in your file system won't automatically create a template in PW. You still need to go to Setup > Templates and add the new template.

Also, I am not sure why you are creating a separate brands-head.inc file. All you need to do is add a conditional statement in your head.inc file.

Something like:

if($page->template != "brands-basic-page"){
  //echo the sidebar
}

Let us know if that helps you sort things out.
