Are you still adding code above, as before, to your new zencart sidebox?
If so, cannot see an rss.xml link, which is what Carp looks for. Also, do not
see any carp code for regulating style.. You really need to get a working carp
page set up first, which is what I did.. my code below should help a little..

<div style="font-family:Arial,sans serif;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;">
 <center>
   <table border="0" width="150">
     <tr>
       <td width="100%">
         <p align="center"><?php
 require_once '/home/myhostingaccount/carp/carp.php';
 // Add any desired configuration settings before CarpCacheShow
 // using "CarpConf" and other functions
 //Next line strips any text before feed i.e. as at bbc.co.uk
 CarpConf('cborder','');
 // put a bullet before each item
 //CarpConf('bi','&bull; ');
 // show up to 5 items
 CarpConf('maxitems',3);
 // don't say "Newsfeed display by by CaRP" after the newsfeeds
 // CarpConf('poweredby','');
 //CarpConf('cborder','link,desc');
 CarpConf('caorder','image');
 CarpConf('bcb','<div style="font-size:8pt; background:#fed; border:1px solid #999999; padding:5px;">');
 CarpConf('acb','</div>');
 CarpConf('bidesc','<div style="font-size:8pt;color:#000000;">');
 CarpConf('aidesc','</div>');
 CarpConf('bilink','<div style="font-size:10pt;FONT-WEIGHT: bold; color:#000080;">');
 CarpConf('ailink','</div>');
 CarpConf('linktarget',1);
 CarpCacheShow('http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/uk/rss.xml');
 ?></td>
     </tr>
   </table>
  </center>

If you'll look at www.doodlebuckets.com , I have them both working if I hard-code my tpl_banner_box and tpl_banner_box2 files. Carp works, but I end up with the unwanted box top and bottom on the right hand feed. In both instances, I use the code:

<?php
/**

* @copyright Portions Copyright 2003 osCommerce

* @version $Id: tpl_banner_box.php 2982 2006-02-07 07:56:41Z birdbrain $
*/
$content = '';

// if no active banner in the specified banner group then the box will not show


require_once '/home/doodlebu/www/www/carp/carp.php';
// Add any desired configuration settings before CarpCacheShow
// using "CarpConf" and other functions

CarpConf('caorder','link,date');
CarpConf('bcb','</div>');
CarpConf('acb','</div>');
CarpConf('acb','<br>');
CarpConf('ai','<br>');


CarpCacheShow('http://feeds.feedburner.com/MidwiferyTodayProducts');


$content .= '</div>';


?>

and they work with this for displaying the feed.

For the file that I created with the blank sidebox contrib, the code is:

<?php
//

// includes/templates/templates_default/sideboxes/tpl_blank_sidebox.php

$content = '';
$content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">';
$content .= '
<!-- EDIT BELOW THIS LINE -->
<table align="center">

<td align="center">

CarpConf('caorder','link,date');
CarpConf('bcb','</div>');
CarpConf('acb','</div>');
CarpConf('acb','<br>');
CarpConf('ai','<br>');


CarpCacheShow('http://feeds.feedburner.com/MidwiferyTodayProducts/');
</td>
<tr>

</table>

<!-- EDIT ABOVE THIS LINE -->
';
$content .= '</div>';
?>


And if I turn it on, I get:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/doodlebu/www/www/store/includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_mwrss_feed.php on line 37

I have it turned off again so that I don't have an error on the page. I just don't get why the error occurs in the blank sidebox contrib but not if I add the very same code directly to the banner boxes.

Sigh, any ideas?

Found this fix for myself and thought I would share! Now that's more like it :)

Pleased to hear you have found a way around your problem, because
cannot offer explanation myself as to why coding in your new zencart box
fails to work correctly.

Thanks! I appreciate your help very much :)
