    Default Information and More Information Sidebox

    I am wondering if I am missing something here? If I want control over links that display in a sidebox, I have to install the absolute links sidebox. By doing so I can turn on and off the links I want to display in that sidebox.

    With that being said what is the purpose of the sideboxes/information.php and sideboxes/more_information.php sideboxes? If you could turn on and off the pages in the sidebox via EZ pages then they would be useful. Since I cannot control the way these display via the admin control panel what is the use of them?

    I must be misssing something here. I don't understand why the core file comes with two sideboxes that don't have control via the admin control panel yet I have to install a module to be able to add any links to a sidebox.

    Am I missing an important step here?

    Default Re: Information and More Information Sidebox

    What I do is DISABLE the information AND more information sideboxes, and then use the EZ-Pages sidebox for all my page links.

    I do the same as schoolboy, but the Information box links can be turned on and off in Admin - Configuration - Define Page Status.

    Default Re: Information and More Information Sidebox

    So basically all I needed to do this whole time was to use the EZ-Pages side boxes. That makes sense.

    If I want to change the title of my EZ-Pages side box from: "Important Links" to "Information" which file would I edit?
