Blank sidebox not behaving as expected

[Rob905]

I have installed the blank sidebox template in my override folder and it seems to display the logo correctly but it doesn't seem to accept the clickable URL that I have defined in the tpl.logo_sidebox.php

It shows the image and it also shows a marker under the image for some reason.
Neither Firefox nor IE 8 show this misterious anchor.

I have attached a snapshot

Is there something I'm doing wrong to define a link for that image?
If I turn off the sidebox is goes away but if I rename the tpl.logo_sidebox.php file it still shows.

The url is www.karatjewellers.ca

Can anyone help please?

I'm not sure why, but I found the solution in blank_sidebox_defines.php in the language/english folder.
If that is where the info is stored, what is the purpose of the tpl. file in the sidebox folder for the override template?

I clicked it and was taken to http ://www.rotarywatches.com/uk/index.aspx

OK I give - - What browser do you see this in??? I know the 2 that do not show it

I do see a set of <p> tags might try posting ALL of the code you have entered for this

I'm seeing the red-X-in-a-box in IE7 and 8.

The actual logo is called rotary_logo.gif.

The red X image is called rorary_logo.gif. I'd find that and remove it from your code.

You can enter code in either of the 2 files with that mod.

I'm using Safari in Mac OS X 10.5.7

Here is the code for the logo_sidebox_defines.php file.

<?php
/**

*/

define('BOX_HEADING_BLANK_SIDEBOX', 'Only available at Karat Jewellers');
define('TEXT_BLANK_SIDEBOX', '<img src="../../../../images/rotary_logo.gif" />');

?>

and here is the full code from the tpl_logo_sidebox.php file.

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

// Replace the text and HTML tags between the apostophes on lines 19 and 20.
// Use as many or as few lines using this model as you need for your custom content.
// If you have a multilingual site define your text in the languages/YOUR_LANGUAGE/extra_definitions/blank_sidebox_defines.php and include it as shown in line 19.
// If your site is monolingual, you can put the text right here as shown on line 20 (and nobody will know!)
$content .= '<p>'<img src="<a href="www.rotarywatches.com" title="Rotary Watches" target="_blank">../../../../images/rotary_logo.gif</a>" />'</p>';

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

Thanks folks.

Your image source can't be a link, it needs to be an address, either a path to a location on your site, or an http URL.

If you want it to be clickable, the link should be wrapped around the image.

Correct syntax is:

<a href="the_url_"><img src="path_to_image/image_name.jpg /></a>"

Aside from that I noticed there was a "<" missing.

Thanks for all the help. Making the picture an address fixed it.

Spoke to soon. I was looking at the site in Firefox :-(
In Safari the issue is still there.
I took the links out of the tpl file and just put it in the logo_sidebox_defines.php file like this:

define('TEXT_BLANK_SIDEBOX', '<a href="www.rotarywatches.com"><img src="http://karatjewellers.ca/zencart/images/rotary_logo.gif /><a/>');

I seem to be missing a closing " somewhere but if I put it where I think it should go the entire site stops loading.
