Logo Sidebox Help

[clydejones]

Hi Clyde,
So sorry, I've been MIA for a while! I'm in the SE corner, near Lamar. I've been in your corner of the world several times in the last few weeks.

Anyway, I have a quick question on the Link exchange addition. I'm sure it's blatantly obbvious, but what is the name of the sidebox to activate? Everything appears like it should (I think) in the admin settings, I just can't figure out which sidebox to activate.

If you mean the sidebox for the logo sidebox then its logo_sidebox.php

If you mean the sidebox for Links Manager then its links_box.php

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
includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/links_box.php
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_links_select.php
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_links_default.php
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_links_submit_default.php
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/popup_links_help

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.)
