    I want to put my editable boxes into a footer area and so am trying to follow the advice on the Additional Information tab of the readme on how to add more middleboxes. However, I hit a bit of a wall when I looked for the place_middleboxes() function statement to move and it doesn't seem to appear anywhere. I've done a find in files search with NotePad++, a search using the Developers Toolkit in Zen Cart and checked through the files individually to try to make sure I'm not being totally dumb here, but can't find it.

    Please can anyone advise me

    Thanks
    The current code is all Glen's baby and a LOT over my head so I can't answer many specifics about modifying the core code, BUT it seems to me you may be attempting to modify the core code of this module when it isn't necessary.. Can't you simply use the default settings for this module and use middlebox location setting #9 for each of your middleboxes (9=All pages, below individual page content) and then you could simply use a little CSS magic to get what you are after??

    See this site: http://www(dot)eyeitalia(dot)com/shop/

    The sideboxes just above the footer are the Editable Middleboxes (Latest Blog Posts, Our Bestsellers, Blog Tag Cloud). If I had wanted to, I could have made the middleboxes the footer for this site VERY easily using this module WITHOUT having to hack/modify ANY of the default code at all. I could have used a combination of the centerbox defines for footer content that is NOT a sidebox (Addresses, phone numbers, other links, etc..) and calls to specific sideboxes. This module allows you options for what is displayed in each middlebox.

    The ENTIRE point of the current version of this module and the changes Glenn made to support this was to provide more flexibility than my initial release. More options for middlebox content, more options for locating the middleboxes on the page, etc..
