Making Information Sidebox a Dropdown

[darrin0]

Hi, I've been trying to figure out a way to make the Information Sidebox a dropdown similar to the Categories sidebox.

The website I'm working on is mybeatrice.com.

As you can see from the website, it is an extremely clean site except for the list of links underneath the information sidebox. Any ideas on how to make those links just show up after the "Information" button is pressed--like how the Product Categories button works?

Any ideas/workarounds/help is much appreciated.

Additionally I cannot figure out for the life of me two things. One, why the Information links are indented so far out. And two, how to get rid of the Gift Certificate FAQ link. Again any help is appreciated.

Could you give me a little more information on how to incorporate that into the zen cart? I've spent hours working on it and still can't seem to figure it out. I can't seem to get the actual Information sidebox heading to drop down. Thanks!

Use the override system - see tutorials

Make/retain originals in all cases

This will be a hardcoded alteration

Edit your tpl_information.php file adding your ul list constructed as the link I provided explains

Original file code:

<?php
/**
 * Side Box Template
 *
 * @package templateSystem
 * @copyright Copyright 2003-2005 Zen Cart Development Team
 * @copyright Portions Copyright 2003 osCommerce
 * @license http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt GNU Public License V2.0
 * @version $Id: tpl_information.php 2982 2006-02-07 07:56:41Z birdbrain $
 */
  $content = '';
  $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">';
  $content .= "\n" . '<ul style="margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none;">' . "\n";
  for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($information); $i++) {
    $content .= '<li>' . $information[$i] . '</li>' . "\n";
  }
  $content .= '</ul>' .  "\n";
  $content .= '</div>';
?>

Change to:

<?php
/**
 * Side Box Template
 *
 * @package templateSystem
 * @copyright Copyright 2003-2005 Zen Cart Development Team
 * @copyright Portions Copyright 2003 osCommerce
 * @license http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt GNU Public License V2.0
 * @version $Id: tpl_information.php 2982 2006-02-07 07:56:41Z birdbrain $
 */
  YOUR UL CODE
?>
