Any help appreciated!

Looking at your site, I can only assume that you're missing a closing and or opening div on a sidebox that comes before the logo sidebox.

Having looked at the code for the logo sidebox the problem seems to be with the tpl_logo_sidebox.php.

These are the changes you've made

Code:

---

$content .= '<br />' . $logoimage1;
$content .= '<br />' . $logoimage2;

//$content = '';
// $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">';

// $content .= $logoimage;

// $content .= '</div>';

---

Try making the following changes and see if it helps.

Code:

---

$content = '';
$content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">';

$content .= '<br />' . $logoimage1;
$content .= '<br />' . $logoimage2;

// $content .= $logoimage;

$content .= '</div>';

glad to help

I feel like an idiot that I cannot get this to work...trying to get my image to link (got the image in fine..), I have looked through the forums and cannot see anything I am doing wrong!!!

Here is my logo_sidebox_defines code:

define('BOX_HEADING_LOGO_SIDEBOX', 'test');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_WIDTH', '150');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_HEIGHT', '200');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE', 'bumper_sticker_ad.jpg');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT', 'test');

//this is optional if you want to use the logo as a link
//replace your_link.com with the link you choose
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_LINK', 'http://www.andrealevinedesigns.com/pet-bumper-sticker/');

?>

...and here is the tpl_logo_sidebox code:

// Link Option - uncomment this if you intend to use the logo as a link

$logoimage = '<a href="' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_LINK . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_WIDTH, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a>';

//comment this out if you use the above link option.
//$logoimage = zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_WIDTH, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_HEIGHT);

$content = '';
$content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">';

$content .= $logoimage;

$content .= '</div>';
?>

..the site is http://www.andrealevinedesigns.com and the you can see the banner in the lower left....what am I missing to get the link to work to go to the product?!?!?

Thank you in advance!!!!!!!

how do I add a hyper-link:
Open includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/logo_sidebox_defines.php
Change the highlighted portion to suit you needs.

define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_LINK', 'http://your_link.com/');

Now open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_logo_sidebox.php

uncomment this line of code: remove the highlighted portion
//$logoimage = '<a href="' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_LINK . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT) . '</a>';

comment out this line of code: add the highlighted portion
//$logoimage = zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT);


Save everything and upload to your server.

Check and make sure all your files are uploading to your server and they are in your custom folders.

Yep, everything is absolutely in my custom folders....that was one of the first things I checked.....just rechecked again though for good measure!

I just checked the site and for some reason the second option above is replacing the link option.

It doesn't appear that it has been commented out properly.

You could (as a temporary measure only) delete that second option completely to see if that fixes the problem.

OK, well that worked! So the image is there and it is linking fine to the product....do I have to have that portion of the code in the tpl file? Very weird......thank you though....I would never have thought to delete that!
