Admin-Editable Sidebox - Support Thread

[kuroi]

This is the support thread for the Editable Sidebox add-in module. The purpose of this module is to allow the easy addition of custom sideboxes that can be edited through the Admin > Tools > Define Editor and which conform to the structure of the Zen Cart 1.3 series.

It can be downloaded from here.

Kuroi,

Quick question, keep getting confused as to which files to edit to create multiple ESB. Just a few or all?

Forgot to mention, I also have Blank Sideboxes enabled, and after installing Editable SB, the Blank Sidebox is no longer visible. Is there a conflict?

[kuroi]

You would need to duplicate and rename all the files using the original filenames as a model.

The blank sidebox mod is completely independent of this one and they could only interfere with each other if one or more files in one were renamed to be the same as files in the other.

Thanks Kuroi, thats what I thought, will try it out, as I like this one better than the blank sidebox.

Nothing was changed before I installed the editable sidebox, the file names have not been renamed in either. Yet I still cannot see the sidebox...Ok nevermind, it is ok, just checked it again, moved it from left to right, and was always there, just forgot what content I had, doh.

Thanks again.

for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove the header. I have this:
h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading {display: none;} in my css and all other sideboxes have the header removed except for the editable sidebox.
I'm sure its simple, what am I missing?

the site is http://www.upliftingarts.com/newstore/ and its the newsletter sign up box on the left.

[kuroi]

The header for that box is turned off.

The text that you think is the header is actually something that you have inserted via the Admin and put made bold, making it look like a header.

oops sorry should of been more specific . how can i get rid of the space above "uplifting arts newsletter" ? Thanks!

[kuroi]

The answer to your question when you posed it would have been that this is because the form is inline and therefore its declaration is taking up a line. This could have been resolved by the targetted CSS

#editablesidebox form {display: block}

But while I was writing this, the sidebox changed somewhat!

[upliftingarts]

perfect! worked like a charm. Thank you!

Hi,
What exactly is the file name of my currency php file. I wish to delete the dropdown box and add my paypal image. I think it is tpl_currencies.php but after looking at so many posts, I' m not so sure.

Also does that require any changes to my main (index) page, which I have no idea what is is named on my server. It is not main.php, nor is it index.php as neither one of those exist on the server.

Kinda lost here now..

Thanks for any help.
