Editable Sidebox Question

[Maynards]

I added a Editable Sidebox and was wondering if anyone can tell me where is the file so I add the hyper link text of my facebook page to so the facebook button works properly.
I tried using the facebook addon but could not get it to work so I thought I would try this route. You can see what I am referring to by viewing my site at: www.maynardstackle.com

It's adding your site's URL to the Facebook URL. Maybe something about the Editable Sidebox. I used the Blank Sidebox mod to do the same thing, and it worked fine.

Thanks steve I will give that a try.

My includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/MYTEMPLATE/blank_sidebox_defines.php looks like this:

<?php
/**

*/

define('BOX_HEADING_LOGO2_SIDEBOX', '');
define('TEXT_LOGO2_SIDEBOX', '<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Chief-Okemos-Sportsmans-Club/310761025377"><img src="includes/templates/cosc/images/facebook.gif"></img></a>');

?>

I made my own image for the sidebox.

Not Working. I copied your code and edited my info in that file but I still having the same problem.

It's still adding my site's URL to the Facebook URL using the blank sidebox addon. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

When I view your source, (in IE, anyway) I'm seeing a strange character at the beginning of your URL in that sidebox define:

<a href=”http: //www.facebook.com/pages/Winsted (Which the forum software stripped out - it's a little box right before the http)

I don't know what it is.

If you're pasting that from somewhere, try entering the address manually instead..

[Maynards]

That was it. Thanks Stevesh
I replace that crazy character with a quotation mark and it worked.
For some reason though and I don't know why, I had to put the same link in my template, tpl file also.
Just another thought about a outside link. Is there a way that when someone would click on this that it would open a new window.(although it is not important)

[stevesh]

<a href= "XXXXXXXXXXX" target="blank">B] will open the page in a new window or tab.

Worked Great, Just what I wanted. Very much appreciated.
