Local Message Sidebox

The Local Message Sidebox is now available in the download area at

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=607

Local Message allows you to populate a table of zip codes and associated messages for each zip code. This would be useful for people who do local delivery or have special policies with respect to certain zip codes.

This is a very helpful mod for our brick & mortar store, I was able to modify the text in file 'local_msg_result' located in my CUSTOM folder now how and where do I enter the ZIP codes for local delivery?

Hi Seanscully, I was the one that SWGuy designed this for.

If you go to the local_msg table in your database you can input the values directly.

You can see mine in action at http://www.freshabundance.com

Thanks - I am able to do mods to my database throught /controlpanel/ (after I make a backup) I would like to say this is a little advanced of a mod and I can do it so others should be able to as well. Just read the instructions and the threads about mod to understand what to do.

Here is a good free lookup for zip codes

For zips I use http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/welcome.jsp

Even though it's a government entity they should know what they want when it comes to zips.

Glad you were able to use the mod. Scott (SWGuy) does great work.

I am running 1.3.8a and am trying to use this mod. I have copied all of the files and updated the table with 2 pieces of data. When I turn on the sidebox, the box doesn't show and it blocks other information as well.

For example if I set the sort order at 0 and the box on the left side, nothing but the header shows. If I set the sort order to 15 and the box on the left, the boxes with sort order 10 and below will show up.

If I set the sort order at 55 and move the box to the right, then all of the left side boxes are visible as well as the body of the pade but on the right only the boxes with sort order 50 and below are visible.

This is a new install of a test cart with no other mods installed and only 1 test product.

Any help is appreciated.
