Recycling sidebox

[luvingmamma]

ok resaved it as that name it's no longer animated but don't really care about that :)

doesn't seem to do all the "mod" instructions talked about but it could be me but I am happy with this :)

Thanks Clyde & Steven300!!!

As it's an animated gif, it will likely not work if you rename it to a jpg. Best to change the code which is trying to point to it:

includes/templates/your_template/sideboxes/tpl_Recycle.php

I reworked/updated the mod somewhat and it seems to be working fine.

If you'd like to give it a go, just unzip the file and upload the entire includes folder to your server. I've already renamed the template directories for you.

As for telling people what you recycle You'd need to create additional define statements and then include those in the sidebox.

I didn't see your post Clyde- i changed the name and it worked that way.

What do you mean the define statements, do I change the recycle_defines files? how do I do that.

sorry I am a bundle of questions today :)

open includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/comstock/recycle_defines

you can add a new define statement (such as)

define("WE_RECYCLE', 'Paper Products');

Save the file and upload to your server.

Now open
includes/templates/comstock/sideboxes/tpl_Recycle.php

add the information as indicated by the highlight

$content .= zen_image($template->get_template_dir(IMAGE_RECYCLE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . IMAGE_RECYCLE, IMAGE_RECYCLE_ALT, IMAGE_RECYCLE_WIDTH, IMAGE_RECYCLE_HEIGHT);

$content .= '<br />' . WE_RECYCLE;

Save the file and upload to your server

I didn't get that to work but I think it's due to lack of sleep will look at again when I am fresh again tomorrow...
