tpl_box_default_right.php dynamic content

[wilorc]

Hi, I want to make some changes to the default shopping cart that's displayed in the sidebox. I can see that ../../modules/sideboxes/shopping_cart.php is called, which in turn calls (requires) ../../templates/template_default/common/tpl_box_default_right.php. Dynamic content from the mysql DB gets sucked into variable $content, which is what is displayed in the sidebar.

The bit I'm struggling with is understanding how the contents of $content are generated. I've searched and searched and cannot find how this content is created. Does anyone know which script/s handle this?

You're going to have to look at the complete construction of the sidebox.

includes/modules/sideboxes/shopping_cart.php (this sets up what is included in the sidebox - in this case information from the database.) this actually makes to calls the first to the file below and then to the "default sidebox location (either right or left)

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_shopping_cart.php (this is where the above information is collected and added to the $content)

Hope this helps.
