I would like to vary what part of my theme is displayed based on what the user is looking at. For example, if the user is at the main gallery page I would like a little welcome message but once they enter a specific album that message should go away.
I tried modifying my theme.php file to check if the album variable was set but that didn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

You can use anycontent.php for this.
-
The part I'm looking to vary is a side bar which has a menu for non-cpg stuff. I don't think I can do with the anycontent.php. Is there a way to do this by hacking some of the cpg files?
-
If it's an html menu that can go in your theme's template.html, otherwise treat it as a custom header/footer.
-
I know I can just put the code for the menu in the template.html file, but how do I control whether or not it should be displayed?

You'll have to modify theme.php to add your side menu, and use an if-then block to determine if it should be displayed. If you search the forums you will find good posts on how to modify a theme.
