How to move the Featured - SideBox ?

[HeyIts007]

How do I move the Featured SideBox to under the header image ? and resize it to the width of the template ?

The Admin Tools Layout Boxes Controller does NOT seem to have this capability. i.e. its capability seems quite limited in terms of moving side boxes around, making them centre boxes or moving them right up the top of the page etc...

Is there a PHP file I can edit to get this effect of having the featured products SideBox moved to just under the header image ?

It would require editing quite a number of files. It would probably be easier to move the featured centerbox to where you want it.

Ahh I see. Hmm OK. Any idea what files ? I have a third party app that only outputs to the side boxes. i.e. the Magic SlideShow. That's why I want to move the Featured product SideBox slideshow to the top of the page. This product does not support the centre box, just the side boxes.

Rather than modifying all of the files of the already embedded slideshow again, you might better identify the slideshow files and put them into the Editable Home Page Centerboxes mod by DivaVocals, which can take PHP content like other define pages can.

Hmm thanks for the suggestion. It's not really my area of knowledge, but I will take a closer look at the Magic SlideShow to see if its output can be redirected. It does a SlideShow of the products in the ZenCart MySQL database realtime, so it might be a bit tricky to work out.

It would require editing quite a number of files. It would probably be easier to move the featured centerbox to where you want it.

How many Zencart files do you think I would need to edit to move the Featured SideBox up to the top centre of the page under the header image ? I think this is might be my only option, having spoken to the Magic SlideShow developer. Do you know what these file names are ?

Thanks,

I don't know all the files involved, as I haven't actually done this myself.
Obviously /includes/modules/sideboxes/your_sidebox.php, and /includes/templates/your_template/sideboxes/tpl_your_sidebox.php. And of course tpl_header.php.

Do you know what calling PHP module loads the side and centre boxes ?
