    A Product Category in the Information box

    Hi,
    I've searched the site already and didn't come up with anything...

    I am working on a site for a friend and he wants to set up a Special Offers section. This is no problem - new category and add the products - easy! But he want it to show up in the Information sidebox instead of the default box. Is this possible? And more importantly is it a huge job?

    Your help, as always, is greatly appreciated.

    Have you looked at the sideboxes that are already available?? In the admin > tools > layout boxes controller...

    There are, as I recall, featured Item, whats New, best sellers, specials, and of course ez-pages that can be customized fairly extensively.

    But from your description the "SPECIALS" sidebox sounds like just what you need and even if you need to adjust it some 90% of the work is done.

    Let's say you want to add this to the more_information.php sidebox ...

    PHP Code:
      $more_information[] = '<a href="' zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT'cPath=' '3_10') . '">' 'Special stuff' '</a>'
    Now you can manually set this stuff or do a look up etc. for the Category name etc.

    As simple as that! I really am shocked! I've been making this way too hard for myself as usual. Many thanks Ajeh, I'll go implement this now :)
