Disable Sidebox for One Page Only Other then EZ Pages

[Ajeh]

The code is in the file:
/includes/modules/sideboxes/banner_box2.php

you copy that to your templates and overrides directory:
/includes/modules/sideboxes/your_template_dir/banner_box2.php

Note: prefer to copy both parts of a sidebox to the templates and overrides ...
/includes/templates/templates_default/sideboxes/tpl_banner_box2.php

/includes/templates/your_template_dir/sideboxes/tpl_banner_box2.php

so that I don't get confused ect when upgrading or needed to add further changes ...

Ok I figured that and i tried to insert it but i get a parsing error.

Here is my code,

<?php
/* Start MagneticOne TagCloud */
 require_once(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'tagcloud/m1_tagcloud.php');
 echo insertTagCloud(2, "RANDOM");
 /* End MagneticOne TagCloud */
 
 ?>

<?php

    $content = '';

// if no active banner in the specified banner group then the box will not show

  if ($banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', $banner_box_group)) {

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

    $content .= zen_display_banner('static', $banner);

    $content .= '</div>';

  }



?>

Can you please look at this and tell me how it should be inserted?

Thank you very much for your time.

I gave you code for banners_box2 and you are showing banners_box ... so I am lost at the stop sign ...

I do not know if you cloud code is right, I have never used it ...

The Debug Tool from the Free Software Add Ons may help you ...

ha haa,

I installed a mod and it works fine.

<?php

    $content = '';

// if no active banner in the specified banner group then the box will not show

  if ($banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', $banner_box_group)) {

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

    $content .= zen_display_banner('static', $banner);

    $content .= '</div>';

  }



?>

Above is the code with out the cloud tag module from MagneticOne Team. Those guys are totally cool by the way.

My problem is I'm not really a php guy and when I take what you've done and insert it into the code I'm getting a parsing error. Below is an example how I would be placing it.

<?php

    $content = '';

// if no active banner in the specified banner group then the box will not show

  if ($banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', $banner_box_group)) {

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

    $content .= zen_display_banner('static', $banner);

    $content .= '</div>';

  }

// test if box should display
  $show_banner_box2 = true;
  if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET8 == '') {
    $show_banner_box2 = false;
  }

// do not show if on advanced_search page
  if ($current_page_base == 'advanced_search') {
    $show_banner_box2 = false;
    echo 'I am hiding!!' . $current_page_base;
  }

  if ($show_banner_box2 == true) 

{ // this doesn't seem right??? this is where I'm lost.


?>

I have read the tutorials on how to have them x out of easy pages. As well as hide left nav and right nav for main pages tutorial but I need something that will hide a sidebox on the

Advanced_Search page. I actually want to hide Banner Box 2 which is where I placed my Cloud Tags Mod. So I'd like to be able to customize the Cloud Tags mod for each page. Show or don't show.

I'm lost though, need you guys help and I love zen-cart, I'm having fun with it. S.O.S...

New Zen-mister!

You are in the wrong file ...

The correct file is:
/includes/modules/sideboxes/banner_box_2.php

And ends up like this:

// test if box should display
  $show_banner_box2 = true;
  if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET8 == '') {
    $show_banner_box2 = false;
  }

// do not show if on advanced_search page
  if ($current_page_base == 'advanced_search') {
    $show_banner_box2 = false;
    echo 'I am hiding!!' . $current_page_base;
  }

  if ($show_banner_box2 == true) {
    $banner_box[] = TEXT_BANNER_BOX2;
    $banner_box_group= SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET8;

    require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_banner_box2.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_banner_box2.php');

// if no active banner in the specified banner group then the box will not show
// uses banners in the defined group $banner_box_group
    if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {

      $title =  BOX_HEADING_BANNER_BOX2;
      $title_link = false;
      require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);
    }
  }
