Logo Sidebox Help

[gizmo_girl]

Oh, sorry, I'm working with the Links Manager sidebox. I have a mysterious box in my layout boxes controller. It's in RED, which makes me think there are serious errors with it. Here's what it looks like:
sideboxes/classic/WS_FTP.LOG
Since there is not a .php extension, I am assuming that is where the error lies.

Additionally, when I activate that box, I have the following infomation displayed on my web page and it is not contained in a sidebox:
2007.11.02 09:24 B C:\Documents and Settings\zen\includes\modules\sideboxes\classic\empty.txt --> 216.147.62.63 /kings-kreations-www/zen/includes/modules/sideboxes/classic empty.txt

I have checked my path names, and as far as I can tell, I have changed all of the YOUR_TEMPLATE locations to CUSTOM. Any ideas where I should look? Thanks!!

is WS_FTP the ftp client you use to upload your files?

if so WS_FTP.LOG is the log file for something you uploaded to your site.

the red just indicates that you are using the classic template on your site.

look in includes/modules/sideboxes/classic and just delete the WS_FTP.LOG file.

do this on both your PC and on your server.

OK, did that, but I still do not have a links_box.php file. Ideas?

did you rename ALL the YOUR_TEMPLATE folders to classic.

These are the files you should have:

includes/extra_datafiles/links_manager.php
includes/functions/links.php
includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/links_manager_defines.php
includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/links.php
includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/links_submit.php
includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/popup_links_help.php
includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_links.php
includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_links_submit.php
includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_links.php
includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_links_submit.php
includes/modules/pages/links
includes/modules/pages/links_submit
includes/modules/pages/popup_links_help
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/link_listing.php

Ohhh, I feel STUPID now...they should be renamed CLASSIC and not CUSTOM? I named them all custom...

I will go try this & see what happens! Thx!

Just remember that whenever you download ANY mod and the installation instructions indicate to change WHATEVER_TEMPLATE to match your custom template ... (it means rename them to match the template that you are using.)

THAT made a big difference! I'm almost there, but my links are not displaying correctly. Here's my site. http://www.kings-kreations.com/zen/
Additionally, on the home page at the top, right above where it says "if you can think it we can ink it", until I installed the link mod, that said something like "welcome to kings kreations", but somehow that text was replaced with the word LINK.

There are a few other things I'd like it to do.
1. I want control over putting the links in. I DO NOT want just anyone to have that ability.

2. I would like to have the list of links displayed as .jpg images, so the person viewing the site can just click on the image to view the link.

3. The linked site needs to open in a new window

4. I'd like to set it up where I DO NOT have to have categories listed. I just want the images displayed so they can be clicked on.

Can any of these things be done?

For some reason, I cannot get my image to show. I made sure everything was spelled correctly. I checked paths to make sure everything coincided. I also changed paths as a test putting the jpg in same directory, still a no go. I must be missing something really simple!

I am running 1.38 of Zen Cart.

Here is what I currently have:
