Side Box Question

[david52]

Man, I am confussed. I went into my admin cp and under tools/banner manager and I think I am the cause of this error. In the sideboxes I want to desiginate 1 side box image to a url. meaning I want to do all the side boxes this way. Like where the box for say Flag Cases I want to put in a certain pic, under the black forest cuckoo clock I want to put a pic and a link. But I cannot get it to work rite. They alternate and I think I have created my own problem. I just need to take a break for a while from it. Can someone look at this link
http://www.jeanscountry.net/jeans_store/ and give me a heads up on what i messed up. Sometimes pics show, sometimes not.
tks in advance

in ADMIN > TOOLS > BANNER MANAGER

under groups
look for:
SideBox-Banners

& click the green Status Icon to disable the images (banners) you don't want to show up.

or

in ADMIN > CONFIGURATION > LAYOUT SETTINGS
look for:
Banner Display Groups - Side Box banner_box

& rename it, something link myBanners

then return to:
ADMIN > TOOLS > BANNER MANAGER

edit your image (banner)
by changing the Banner Group:

you will have to enter "myBanners" below the dropdown.

Hope this helps!

that did help, but could u look at the page again and see the pic in the right hand side box does not appear. Now to make a log story short I did delete the script for the zen pic and put in my own. So I got part back and part not. Once I get it straight I will then create a new banner. But what do I still have wrong may I ask.
appricate it. I am not a novice but just a little confussed on just what I did do wrong.
tks

I don't see the clock image anymore in any of the sideboxes.

Now to make a log story short I did delete the script for the zen pic and put in my own.

May I ask what script you deleted? And what script you replaced it with? And where you deleted & replaced it from?

[david52]

It should be on there now. I went back in and turned it back on. where you told me it is the first green lite now. When I changed the script, what i did was went into the file, changed the name only, put in my cuckoo clock address, and ONLY changed the end of the script, the /images/pic#, but like I want just that clock to be down under black forest clocks and show just there everytime. then once I get that rite I will understand. Most I need walked thru 1 time and i got it together then. this is only the 2nd zen cart I set up so I guess it is ok to call me "green"

Banner Display Groups - Side Box banner_box should be your "Top Product" sidebox

Banner Display Groups - Side Box banner_box2 should be your "Black Forest Clocks" sidebox

Banner Display Group - Side Box banner_box_all should be your "Flag Cases" sidebox

Ckeck to see what value "name" is set for Banner Display Groups - Side Box banner_box2

ADMIN > TOOLS > BANNER MANAGER

the only banner (image) "Eds Cuckoo Clock" should be assigned to the above value.

I can not think of any other reason why it would keep appearing & disappearing.

I also like how the #of guests increases every time the page reloads

I think what I am going to do is just dump the store and reload it all over since I am only in the beginning stages. now no sideboxes show. I will wait till later tonite to dump it.

[david52]

how do i close this post after I dump and reload. no sence in leaving it open
