Sidebox Visible to Logged in Members Only

[jeskremer]

Ajeh,

I am trying to put this code into the more_information page now instead of the information page, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly.

Here is the code that I have been trying to add:

<?php
/**
 * more_information sidebox - displays list of links to additional pages on the site.  Must separately build those pages' content.
 *
 * @package templateSystem
 * @copyright Copyright 2003-2006 Zen Cart Development Team
 * @copyright Portions Copyright 2003 osCommerce
 * @license http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt GNU Public License V2.0
 * @version $Id: more_information.php 3464 2006-04-19 00:07:26Z ajeh $
 */

// test if box should display

  unset($more_information);
  
// test if box should display
  $more_information= false;

// test if box should display based on customer is logged in
  if (!$_SESSION['customer_id']) {
    $more_information= false;
  } else {
    $more_information= true;
  }
  
  if ($more_information == true) {

// test if links should display
  if (DEFINE_PAGE_2_STATUS <= 1) {
    $more_information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PAGE_2) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_2 . '</a>';
  }
  if (DEFINE_PAGE_3_STATUS <= 1) {
    $more_information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PAGE_3) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_3 . '</a>';
  }
  if (DEFINE_PAGE_4_STATUS <= 1) {
    $more_information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PAGE_4) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_4 . '</a>';
  }

// insert additional links below to add to the more_information box
// Example:
//    $more_information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . 'TESTING' . '</a>';


// only show if links are active
  if (sizeof($more_information) > 0) {
    require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_more_information.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_more_information.php');

    $title =  BOX_HEADING_MORE_INFORMATION;
    $title_link = false;
    require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);
  }
?>

You are missing the closing bracket } of the IF statement before the closing php tag ?> at the bottom of the file ...

See if adding that helps you out ...

The bottom of the code should look like:

// only show if links are active
  if (sizeof($more_information) > 0) {
    require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_more_information.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_more_information.php');

    $title =  BOX_HEADING_MORE_INFORMATION;
    $title_link = false;
    require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);
  }
}
?>

Hi everyone, is there a way to create a sidebox(or a popup) based on validated credentials on a customer login? For example, would it be possible to have a sidebox visible for a birthday greeting or a holiday greeting that is specific to that customer?

The birthday greeting would be dependent of the birthdate and the holiday greeting would be dependent on the customer's country.

Any ideas? Thank you!
