Curious as to how I might customize widgets on "pages" as opposed to the main index. I have a "page" that one is able to enter via a widget on the main index. This page is a video, and so the widget is a screenshot of the video. I would really like for the "page" to not have that particular widget (as it's redundant). Any way of doing this?

I have a widget set of this video, but within that set, I cannot control what widgets apply to it. I'm wondering if I'm not properly linking said video widget set, since the only way to sort of control what widgets show up on this page are through the 3-column layout - Primary Sidebar widget set. Any ideas, or am I talking in circles?

Thanks.

FYI...

I got it to work. I couldn't use the 3 column template because it was already being used... and I didn't feel like trying to create an additional 3 column template (nor did I know if it would work) so...

I had to do the following:

In the Archive Templates > Page I put in the following:

CODE
<MTSetVar name="sidebar2" value="1">

<MTSetVar name="page_layout" value="layout-tw">


Then in the footer I also added:

CODE
<MTIf name="sidebar2">
<$MTInclude module="Sidebar 2"$>
</MTIf>


Then I used the "2-column layout-sidebar" widget layout for the widgets.

Voila.
