Yep, that did it! Thanks Clyde

By-the-by; even though we are on different continents, I can always count on you to reply almost instantly no matter what time I post. Do you sleep??

What is a logo sidebox? What logos? Where can I see a sample of this? Where do I find the download?

[clydejones]

Its a sidebox in which you can place a logo (any logo you choose)

its available in the downloads section here:

www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_52&products_id=405

You can see a sample here: Top Left sidebox

Can you explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish?

I would like the logo link to open in a new window. What code needs to be added? I'm assuming it is in the logo_sideboxes_defines.php. Here is my site:
http://www.gameoverbeyond.com
I'd like the Retro Arcade Radio link in the top right to open in a new window so visitors can listen while still shopping at my site.
Also, can I add text to the logo sidebox under the logo? If so, where.
Ex: Listen While You Shop

I feel like an idiot that I cannot get this to work...trying to get my image to link (got the image in fine..), I have looked through the forums and cannot see anything I am doing wrong!!!

Here is my logo_sidebox_defines code:

define('BOX_HEADING_LOGO_SIDEBOX', 'test');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_WIDTH', '150');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_HEIGHT', '200');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE', 'bumper_sticker_ad.jpg');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT', 'test');

//this is optional if you want to use the logo as a link
//replace your_link.com with the link you choose
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_LINK', 'http://www.andrealevinedesigns.com/pet-bumper-sticker/');

?>

...and here is the tpl_logo_sidebox code:

// Link Option - uncomment this if you intend to use the logo as a link

$logoimage = '<a href="' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_LINK . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_WIDTH, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a>';

//comment this out if you use the above link option.
//$logoimage = zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_WIDTH, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_HEIGHT);

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

$content .= $logoimage;

$content .= '</div>';
?>

..the site is http://www.andrealevinedesigns.com and the you can see the banner in the lower left....what am I missing to get the link to work to go to the product?!?!?

Thank you in advance!!!!!!!

how do I add a hyper-link:
Open includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/logo_sidebox_defines.php
Change the highlighted portion to suit you needs.

define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_LINK', 'http://your_link.com/');

Now open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_logo_sidebox.php

uncomment this line of code: remove the highlighted portion
//$logoimage = '<a href="' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_LINK . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT) . '</a>';

comment out this line of code: add the highlighted portion
//$logoimage = zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT);


Save everything and upload to your server.
