Social Bookmarking with Aboslute Links Sidebox

[lasilhouette]

I am trying to add my Add This social bookmarking code to the Absolute Links Sidebox add on.

I was able to install the Absolute Links Sidebox no problem, please see the sidebox here (labeled: Social Bookmarking): http://www.lasilhouettelingerie.com/store/index

Here is the page that I am supposed to add my link to:

<?php
/**
 * Absolute Links Side Box Template
 *
 * @package templateSystem

 * @copyright Portions Copyright 2003 osCommerce
 * @license http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt GNU Public License V2.0
 *
 * @version $Id: tpl_absolute_links.php  2007-07-09 06:06:06Z tolefairy
 *
 */

$content = '<div id="absolutelinksContent" class="sideBoxContent centeredContent">';

/* Your html and/or javascript code goes between the 2 single quotes in the next line */
$content .= '';

$content .= '</div>';

?>

As you can see all I have to do is put my javascript or html code inbetween the single line quotes for $content. But when I past my code into this box everything below this line does not show including the box.

This is the code I am trying to paste into the $content area above:

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<script type="text/javascript">addthis_pub  = 'MYUSERNAMEHERE';</script>
<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"><img src="http://s7.addthis.com/button1-bm.gif" width="125" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/152/addthis_widget.js"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->

Anyone know why this social bookmarking code is incompatible with the php page above. The line says that it will accept javascript or html? I don't know how to convert this that may be the problem.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Anyone have any suggestions?

I thought I would add my input to the ADDTHIS link. I wanted mine on the sidebox under the MORE INFORMATION navigation link (photo attached) AND I wanted it listed 1st under the MORE INFORMATION navigation heading (which is LEARN MORE for our site).

I copied: /includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_more_information.php

to /includes/templates/MYTEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_more_information.php


The code for the original file:
<?php
/**
* Side Box Template
*
* @package templateSystem
* @copyright Copyright 2003-2005 Zen Cart Development Team
* @copyright Portions Copyright 2003 osCommerce
* @license http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt GNU Public License V2.0
* @version $Id: tpl_more_information.php 2982 2006-02-07 07:56:41Z birdbrain $
*/
$content = '';
$content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">' . "\n" ;
$content .= "\n" . '<ul style="margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none;">' . "\n" ;
for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($more_information); $i++) {
$content .= '<li>' . $more_information[$i] . '</li>' . "\n" ;
}

$content .= '</ul>' . "\n" ;
$content .= '</div>';
?>


AND HERE IS WHAT I ADDED (in red):
NOTE: I have the link with stats so the code (that you get from addthis) maybe a little different from what I have.

<?php

*/
$content = '';
$content .= '<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<a class="addthis_button" href="http://addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;pub=THISWOULDBEYOURURLFORADDTHIS"><img src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/v2/lg-bookmark-en.gif" width="125" height="16" alt="Bookmark and Share" style="border:0"/></a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js?pub=THISWOULDBEYOURURLFORADDTHIS"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END --><br /><br />';
$content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">' . "\n" ;
$content .= "\n" . '<ul style="margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none;">' . "\n" ;
for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($more_information); $i++) {
$content .= '<li>' . $more_information[$i] . '</li>' . "\n" ;
}

$content .= '</ul>' . "\n" ;
$content .= '</div>';
?>


Hope this helps you folks out there!Attachment 6498
