How to show HTML content in side bar? Thanks.

An ez-page will not display directly in a sidebox. You need to add the actual cluster map code to the blank sidebox file. Follow the Blank Sidebox instructions, which are very simple. If there is some part of that which gives you a problem, tell us exactly what you have done.

I still couldn't make it working, here is what I did to the Blank Side Box:

This is what I put in the /public_html/food/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/blank_sidebox_defines.php
<?php
define('BOX_HEADING_BLANK_SIDEBOX', 'POE Clocks');
define('TEXT_BLANK_SIDEBOX', '');
?>

This is what I put in the /public_html/food/includes/templates/aberdeen_neutral/sideboxes/tpl_blank_sidebox.php

<?php
$content = '';
$content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">';
$content .= '<p>' . TEXT_BLANK_SIDEBOX . '</p>';
$content .= '<p><a href="http://www4.clustrmaps.com/user/6b2e433d"><img src="http://www4.clustrmaps.com/stats/maps-no_clusters/www.xiexianhui.com-thumb.jpg" alt="Locations of visitors to this page" />
</a>
</p>';
$content .= '</div>';

Thank you again for your kind help.

It would be greatly appreciated if you can post your website's coding here.

Can you please tell me the other settings? I must have missed something somewhere!!!

Maybe can you tell me what's your setting in the following places?

Admin-> Tools: Layout Box Controller, Ez-pages,
Admin->Configuration-> Layout settings, EZ-Pages settings

Thank you very much.

Sorry - I'll be back.

Since the Blank Sidebox has nothing to do with EZ pages, those settings don't matter. Here's what I did:

Installed the mod.

Opened blank_sidebox_defines.php and replaced this code:
Replace this text with your HTML content. with your code, then saved the file to the proper override folder.

Then I opened tpl_blank_sidebox.php and removed this string, leaving the single quotes:

<p>You can include text, links, images, HTML markup and even PHP code</p>

Done.

Where did you put it? If it has nothing to do with the Ez-pages, There must be somewhere to set it in Admin-> Tools: Layout Box Controller
Admin->Configuration-> Layout settings

Maybe I did everything correct but forgot to turn on the display somewhere?

BTW: Can you please paste your modified files and their folders here.

Thank you very much.
