How to show HTML content in side bar? Thanks.

[mdivk]

Your code works here. www .stevesh.org

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.

If you installed the mod correctly, it will appear in Admin - Tools - Layout Boxes Controller.

I thought you said you had the box activated, but the image won't appear. A link to your site would help.

blank_sidebox_defines.php:

define('BOX_HEADING_BLANK_SIDEBOX', 'Blank Sidebox Header');
define('TEXT_BLANK_SIDEBOX', '<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>
');


tpl_blank_sidebox.php:

$content = '';
$content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">';

// Replace the text and HTML tags between the apostophes on lines 19 and 20.
// Use as many or as few lines using this model as you need for your custom content.
// If you have a multilingual site define your text in the languages/YOUR_LANGUAGE/extra_definitions/blank_sidebox_defines.php and include it as shown in line 19.
// If your site is monolingual, you can put the text right here as shown on line 20 (and nobody will know!)
$content .= '' . TEXT_BLANK_SIDEBOX . '';
$content .= '';

$content .= '</div>';

Thank you very much, yes the Blank_side_box was not activated! I will play with it to see if it can work like text widget in Wordpress, hopefully yes.

Although the clustermap is working now, however, it is set to show in the right side area. If I need to show a different HTML page like with YouTube in the main page area, how do I do that?

I know ezpage might do, but really confused by some posts in the forum, it would be great appreciated if someone can post a step-by-step tutorial!

Not exactly sure what you're asking, but it sounds like EZ pages are what you want. EZ pages are pretty simple and their content displays in the center section. I use them a lot.
