Default OK, can't find this anywhere

Using zen 1.3.8
Created a new main_template for my product info page.
So I have product_info / tpl_main_page.php

OK. Now, what I need is the code to add a sidebox JUST to this page. So basically, I need to know HOW to place a sidebox just for this page - the sidebox I want to add is the shopping_cart sidebox - I cannot just turn it on in the sidebox manager, because I use my left column on all other pages, and only want the shopping_cart sidebox to display on the product info page.

Does anyone know how to add based on either the main template specified for the product_info page or the column_left.php based on if (product_id <> '') {
DISPLAY SHOPPING CART SIDEBOX
}

Thank you so much in advance!

Your shopping cart does not show on any pages until your shopper adds something to the cart.

If you only have it on the product info page then how would your shopper checkout if they go back and shop around and not check out as soon as they added something to their cart?

Make it difficult for them and they will leave your shop screaming.

NOTE: in the Configuration ... Layout Settings ... are some controls for the Shopping Cart sidebox:
Quote:
Shopping Cart Box Status
Shopping Cart Shows
0= Always
1= Only when full
2= Only when full but not when viewing the Shopping Cart
You can expand the constraints on the sidebox beyond that, however, I do tend to agree that only showing it on the product _info page would have me befuddled and confused and off to other shopping sites ...
