Twitter sidebox only on home page

[krazey]

Hello zenners,
I am wandering if it is possible to have a twitter sidebox that is only displayed on the home-page. Below is what I am after;


Thanks!!!

Yes. That can be done.

I'm not aware of a twitter sidebox for Zen Cart, so you'd have to write that yourself, but part of the standard structure for sidebox modules includes a block to limit their display. You would want yours to show only when

$this_is_home_page == true

Hi Misty I have read all that forum but still no luck. I know i have to edit

/includes/modules/sideboxes/mydfa/blank_sidebox.php

but i don't know where and what else i have to add???

I found the solution for this one,

go where the twitter sidebox is ,

mine is at /includes/modules/sideboxes/twitter_sidebox.php

edit the file

find this argument

$show_blank_sidebox = true;

delete it and replace with

 if ($this_is_home_page) {
    $show_blank_sidebox = true;
  } else {
    $show_blank_sidebox = false;
  }

i found the solution from here
