Custom Sidebox heading issue

[gjh42]

That code is missing all of the boilerplate that makes it a fully functioning ZC sidebox. Get the Blank Sidebox mod from Free Addons, and put your code inside that per its directions.

You don't have the <?php
$content = 'your HTML';
?>

as the tutorial says.

Also, I know it doesn't appear to be a part of cover_sidebox, but If I turn it off in layout boxes controller, it all goes away.

blank sidebox! Got it.

Thanks again...

The reason for your initial problem, the header appearing below the content, would be because the HTML you posted was being output immediately, before the container tpl_ file output the rest of the box (including heading). This should be fixed if you add the PHP around the HTML as I (and the tutorial)mentioned.

oops. Oversight.
I can't get the code to work properly... can you see what I'm missing???

<?php
$content = '<div class="snavIssue">
            <img style="border-width:0px;" src="images/PHG/snavIssueTop.gif" alt="On Stands Now" id="ctl00_ctl00_templateBody_imgSNavTop"><div class="snavIssueCopy">
            
    <a target="_blank" title="Subscribe Today!" href="http://w1.buysub.com/online/PHG/website"><img border="0" style="border-width:0px;" src="images/PHG/btnVertSubscribe.gif" alt="Subscribe Today!" class="btnSubscribe" id="ctl00_ctl00_templateBody_ucSubscribe_imgBtnVertSubscribe"></a>
    <img style="border-width:0px;" src="images/PHG/PHG0611_Cover0_ch.jpg" class="cover" id="ctl00_ctl00_templateBody_ucSubscribe_Image1">
    
<br style="clear: both;">
            <div style="margin-top: 12px;" class="snavIssueDivider"></div>
            <div onmouseout="sNavOff(this)" onmouseover="sNavOn(this, 'snavIssueOn' )" class="snavIssueOff"><span class="snavLink"><a target="_blank" href="http://w1.buysub.com/online/PHG/website">Subscribe Today!</a></span></div>
            <div class="snavIssueDivider"></div>
            <div onmouseout="sNavOff(this)" onmouseover="sNavOn(this, 'snavIssueOn' )" class="snavIssueOff"><span class="snavLink"><a href="http://phgmag.com/global/toc/">Whats Inside</a></span></div>
            <div class="snavIssueDivider"></div>
            <div onmouseout="sNavOff(this)" onmouseover="sNavOn(this, 'snavIssueOn' )" class="snavIssueOff"><span class="snavLink"><a href="http://phgmag.com/archive/">Article Archives</a></span></div>
            <div class="snavIssueDivider"></div>
            <div onmouseout="sNavOff(this)" onmouseover="sNavOn(this, 'snavIssueOn' )" class="snavIssueOff"><span class="snavLink"><a href="http://phgmag.com/global/contact/">Letters to the Editor</a></span></div>
            </div>
        </div>' ;
?>

<div onmouseout="sNavOff(this)" onmouseover="sNavOn(this, 'snavIssueOn' )" class="snavIssueOff"><span 

Lines like this are causing a problem. The single quote ' tells PHP that you are done with text to send to the browser, and what follows is something in PHP. That is wrong, and you are not getting correct functioning. If you need to use single quotes inside a text string, you need to escape them with a backslash \ . This will work:

<div onmouseout="sNavOff(this)" onmouseover="sNavOn(this, \'snavIssueOn\' )" class="snavIssueOff"><span

AArgh...
