There are many ways, but I would create 2 new templates:
column_left_home.twig
column_right_home.twig
Modify those as you wish and include them on the home template.

Hi Paul, thanks for the reply! I tried but apparently I'm making some mistakes because it doesn't work. Here's what I did:
1) I created the files
column_left_home.twig and
column_right_home.twig
2) I created the
controller files and I changed:
- the class from
ControllerCommonColumnLeft to
ControllerCommonColumnLeftHome
- this line from
Code: Select all
$modules = $this->model_design_layout->getLayoutModules($layout_id, 'column_left');
to
Code: Select all
$modules = $this->model_design_layout->getLayoutModules($layout_id, 'column_left_home');
- this line from
Code: Select all
return $this->load->view('common/column_left', $data);
to
Code: Select all
return $this->load->view('common/column_left_home', $data);
- And of course the same things for the right column.
3) In the
home controller file I changed:
Code: Select all
$data['column_left'] = $this->load->controller('common/column_left');
$data['column_right'] = $this->load->controller('common/column_right');
to
Code: Select all
$data['column_left_home'] = $this->load->controller('common/column_left_home');
$data['column_right_home'] = $this->load->controller('common/column_right_home');
4) In the
home twig file I changed:
Code: Select all
{{ column_left }}
{{ column_right }}
to
Code: Select all
{{ column_left_home }}
{{ column_right_home }}
What am I missing?

You could adopt this approach. Haven't tested on my end
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<modification>
<name>Column Left Class for Homepage</name>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<author><![CDATA[<font color="#19700E"><b>khnaz35</b></font>]]></author>
<link>mailto:khnaz35@gmail.com</link>
<code>column_left_home_class_patch</code>
<!-- Inject 'route' into column_left controller -->
<file path="catalog/controller/common/column_left.php">
<operation>
<search><![CDATA[return $this->load->view('common/column_left', $data);]]></search>
<add position="before"><![CDATA[
$data['route'] = isset($this->request->get['route']) ? $this->request->get['route'] : 'common/home';
]]></add>
</operation>
</file>
<!-- Modify class in column_left.twig based on route -->
<file path="catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/column_left.twig">
<operation>
<search><![CDATA[<aside id="column-left" class="col-sm-3 hidden-xs">]]></search>
<replace><![CDATA[
<aside id="column-left" class="{% if route == 'common/home' %}col-sm-6{% else %}col-sm-3 hidden-xs{% endif %}">
]]></replace>
</operation>
</file>
</modification>

It works great, thank you very much khnaz35!
Now I'm left with the doubt of what I did wrong with the other method
