side bars - ami missing something?

[ryangsoton]

I am trying to get a couple more sidebars for my site. I have gone to admin, layout boxes controller and ensured that it is for my_template, not classic, but its saying that certain sidebars are on when they are not showing. im having no problems turning off the ones i dont want, but i am having trouble turning new ones on, as they appear to be on already! Something im missing?

My url is http://www.climax-creation.com/zen-c...eset/index.php

I am trying to add 'featured products, tell a friend, and hopefully a 'subscribe to newsletter' (i notice there is an unsubscribe on the information bar, but how do i get a subscribe?)

Many thanks in advance!

Featured products - do you have any featured products to display? If not, the box won't display.

Tell a friend - by default you have to be logged in for this to show. This makes it more difficult for spammers to use your site as a relay. You can change this in Admin > Configuration > Email Options.

Newsletter subscribe is account-based. Users can subscribe when they create or amend their accounts, rather than from a sidebox.

ah i see. So basically once somebody is logged in they can potentially get more side boxes?

Yes and there are other triggers as well. Putting something into their cart can trigger display of the cart as a sidebox and as a navigation menu item.
