Custom Sidebox heading issue

[inestine]

I just created a custom sidebox called "cover_sidebox". Now for some reason the heading is on the bottom of the sidebox. Strange, but really not a big deal as I want to remove the heading anyway. Only, when I add the attribute

cover_sidebox_heading (display: none;}

it doesn't work. I've also tried cover_sidebox and box_heading_cover_sidebox and I can't seem to hide the heading.

a link to my site:

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

You need to properly define BOX_HEADING_cover_SIDEBOX in the php file as

define('BOX_HEADING_cover_SIDEBOX', '');

I purposely made the two single quotes different colors so you can see that it's two separate characters.

It looks like you tried to remove it by removing the define entirely which is why you're seeing BOX_HEADING_cover_SIDEBOX.

Check your files and find and remove/comment out

<h3 class="leftBoxHeading" id="coversideboxHeading">BOX_HEADING_cover_SIDEBOX</h3>

Check Kobra's option first. He may be correct on this.

ok, so in /includes/modules/sideboxes/My_Template/cover_sidebox.php

I changed

// $title =  BOX_HEADING_cover_SIDEBOX;

Is that what you meant? It did knock out the heading, but some of the background is still there from "coversideboxheading"?

<h3 class="leftBoxHeading" id="coversideboxHeading">BOX_HEADING_cover_SIDEBOX</h3>

Does not actually exist in a file.

No, that code as such does not exist in any file. It is built in tpl_box_default_left/right.php, which serve all sideboxes, so you cannot change it for one sidebox.
Change the define from
BOX_HEADING_cover_SIDEBOX
to
BOX_HEADING_COVER_SIDEBOX
as the code may automatically search for an uppercase constant, and define it as blank per afo's post.

OK, so changing to caps did work, but I still have some of the background left over. Not sure why...

Thank you by the way. Your help is just awesome.

[gjh42]

Okay, your BOX_HEADING_cover_SIDEBOX as you have used it will function, but it is still best practice to use all uppercase for constants. Just define it as blank ''.

I don't see where you have actually used the cover sidebox. What you have showing is a custom-built bit of code placed directly in the column, not using the sidebox system. Is this what you are wanting to replace with a proper sidebox that will look/work the same?

[gjh42]

Oh, and from your first post, cover_sidebox_heading (display: none;} will not work because the sidebox heading id is always built from the box id plus Heading. If the id is cover_sidebox, the style rule for it would be
#cover_sideboxHeading {what: ever;}

ok, so this is my first custom sidebox, so not sure I did it right, but...

I followed the instructions from:
http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Tutorial

my tpl_cover_sidebox.php looks like this:

<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/">What' s 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> 

All newly created files are a part a the custom template PHG_Template.

I knew I made a mistake somewhere, but it looks fine if I can just solve this heading issue.
