Sara, you cannot use cPanel to upload directories, only files.
You should be using your FTP program to upload as it will upload the directory and all files/sub-directories within the 'includes' directory for this module.

ckosloff, looking at your scroller txt file you linked, I would change this line:
scrollercontent[0]='<a href="index.php?main_page=login">
to
scrollercontent[0]='<a href="/index.php?main_page=login">
It presumes your Zen Cart is in Document Root and adding the forward slash tells Apache where to start looking; preventing any dir. confusion.
Can't help with the other problems as I'm not familiar with the Admin-Editable Sidebox module.

Meanwhile will edit script and see if it works in Editable Sidebox.
Actually that module is easier than blank sidebox.
I downloaded it as a .zip to my desktop, opened and unzipped it. What should I have done after that? Obviously, I flubbed somewhere. Where do I take the... Hold it! Should I be doing this through my sarassoapsnsuch.com secure webdisk that's on my desktop?Quote:

I'm familiar with the Blank Sidebox v1.1 module and it states this:
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_blank_sidebox.php
as the file to edit for what is actually displayed on the Web page.
Note: when using JS code you must escape some of the JS characters such as: quotes and semi-colons.
@sarah, if you don't know how to use an FTP program then you are not yet "really dangerous". :wink:
For doing things such as uploading modules or customized files you should get familiar with an FTP program. Along with your HTML Editor, it is a very commonly used program for Web customizing.
@ckosloff
Your javascript isn't text, so I would concur that you should put it straight into the template file, taking care, as he says, to escape all special characters.
I can't talk to the accuracy of the configuration of your webdisk, but in theory, yes you should be able to upload the files that way. Though my personal preference, like that of Website Rob, is a dedicated FTP programs (e.g. the free and excellent FileZilla). They're really not that difficult to configure and use.Quote:

In a test site, you wouldn't even need to FTP, you would just drag-n-drop the contribution, that will help you understand how it works.
So I guess I'm just a little dangerous, huh? ;)Quote:

It needs to be on my site ideally by 1 November. Otherwise, I likely would just leave my site's format stand (except for adding new products) and play with it this winter when things slow down some.Quote:

It's basically the same thing.
