different frontpage layout

Hi Tom,
Can I get the frontpage to have a content/sidebar/sidebar layout and the categories and archive pages to have sidebar/content/sidebar?
With the "blog sidebar layout" function in the customise menu, setting the frontpage as c/s/s also affects the category and archive pages - but i'd like them as s/c/s, like the single posts.
Thanks for your help and the great theme!

Absolutely - you can target your homepage with a little PHP magic:
add_filter( 'generate_sidebar_layout','generate_custom_blog_sidebar_layout' );
function generate_custom_blog_sidebar_layout( $layout )
{
// If we are on the posts page, set the sidebar
if ( is_home() )
return 'both-right';
// Or else, set the regular layout
return $layout;
}Adding PHP: http://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/adding-php-functions/
Then your other areas (categories, archives) should take on the layout you have set with the Blog Layout option.
Let me know :)
Implemented in 5 seconds and worked an absolute treat, thanks a lot!
