Granted it's a bit unconventional to use $_GET, but I tend to be that
way... To get it to work there are two things:
1) urlzones: true in site.config
2) it must be equal to 'false' not false. My oversight.
The bigger problem is you have to have URLzones turned on which means
anyone could do that just via their browser, which we may not want.
For example, I often put things like: [if some conde]<(forward
error.page)>[if] in a header. With urlzones this could be bypassed, by
simply putting header=false in the url.

These turned out to be easier to implement than I expected, thanks to
a BOLTpageCheck function I use for plugins, but had forgotten about...
If you insert these new lines between the first and last quoted below
in BOLTgetzones (~970, engine.php) you can tinker...
$BOLTcodePages = BOLTconfig('BOLTcodePages', 'code');
if (BOLTconfig("BOLTnozone:$zone") !== '') {
if (BOLTpageCheck(BOLTconfig("BOLTnozone:$zone"))) return;
}
if ($_GET['action'] == 'print') {
if (BOLTconfig("BOLTnoprintzone:$zone") !== '') {
if (BOLTpageCheck(BOLTconfig("BOLTnoprintzone:$zone")))
return;
}
}
if ($zone == 'header' || $zone == 'footer') {
Basically you set your config like this:
noZone:side: test*,main,site.languages*
noPrintZone:top: *
noPrintZone:bottom: *
What do you think? This of course allows you to turn on and off zones
via function or config file or whatever. And you do not use $_GET!
This should show up in the next release...

Would you mind posting this as a solution. I'm going to disable the
urlzones option in BoltWire, in favor of the noZone and noPrintZone.
Perhaps in the CSS tricks section.
Cheers,
