Using buttons/images in left hand sideboxes

[Berserker]

kobra,

i am using only 1 stylesheet (from default). I just added some table codes from classic since i like the way it looks but other than that, it should all be from the default stylesheet :)

Regards

forgot to ask,

when you change the sidebox header to an image, how do you implement the link i.e for the Reviews. When i insert an image for this, the "more" link goes beside it.

Is there a way to get rid of this and make the whole header (for the reviews) to be the link instead?

In you languages/your_template/english.php
(Assuming this is the language you use)
Find the line:

define('BOX_HEADING_LINKS', '  [more]');

And change it to:

define('BOX_HEADING_LINKS', '');

Works like a charm, I just tested it :-)

Hello, I was hoping someone might be able to help me with this.
I was able to change things enough for an image to show above the "shopping area" but I'm not to sure what I need to do to get the image to show above the "information" Forgive me if it's obvious....

Thanks for any help.

sheba10,
You did this the hard way through hard coding it. The easy way is using the stylesheet.css and entering something like this

h3.#categoriesHeading   {
	margin: 0em;
	background-image: url(../images/your_image_name.gif/jpg);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	padding: 0.4em 0.2em;
	}

h3.#informationHeading   {
	margin: 0em;
	background-image: url(../images/your_image_name.gif/jpg);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	padding: 0.4em 0.2em;
	}

Where your images are in the /includes/templates/your_template/images folder

I followed kobras excellent sidebox text to image switching procedure.

I have found that to use specific ALT atributes for each heading image the below code could be used instead.

$title = zen_image($template->get_template_dir(BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES, BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES_ALT
);

With a new definition added to 'english.php' for the alt tags like below.


define('BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES_ALT', 'Categories');

Thanks!
I reversed the changes I made previously, but I'm not quite sure where I'm putting it in the stylesheet.css, could you take a look and maybe help me out?

/*sideboxes*/
.columnLeft {}

h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.leftBoxHeading a {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 3px;
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: italic;
}

h3.rightBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading a {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 3px;
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: italic;
}
#manufacturersHeading, #currenciesHeading, #musicgenresHeading, 
#recordcompaniesHeading, #searchHeading, #search-headerHeading {
}

.leftBoxHeading, .centerBoxHeading, .rightBoxHeading {
    /*background-color: #f5f5f5;*/
    border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
}
.leftBoxContainer, .rightBoxContainer {
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    margin: 0 0 1em 0;
}

.sideBoxContent {
    background-color: #ffffff;
    padding: 0.4em;
} 

Thanks, I'm feeling quite dumb in the brain...
