Create a New Sidebox

[cartdiscounts]

You must have read my mind - something that simple and I couldn't figure out how to explain it, or do it.

Thanks,

I will post a link to the finished side box - I think allot of people will appreciate it!

This is great.. But I'd like to be able to edit the content of my side box using the Page Editor feature.. Is there a way that I use content which can be edited via the Page Editor within my newly created blank sidebox???

yes i'd love to know that also.. i installed this but could not get php coding to work in it and i'd like to be able to edit in my editor not using an html editor.

clydejones.. another excellent addon for zen cart but unfortunately it won't allow php coding - it just recognizes it as text..

Strange, I've been able to use it just as any of the other files in the html_includes folder including adding php code snipits

must be me then... does this code look correct?

$content .= '<?php include(tpl_text_link_ads.php); ?>

and the tp_text_link_ads.php file has php coding in it..

You need to use the text/HTML function of your editor, and it will work fine.. Can't insert PHP using the WYSIWYG function.

i do not understand your answer here.. i'm using dreamweaver and inserting php coding where it says i can put text, htm or php coding..

i think i now understand what you are referring to here. so i inserted some test coding - a simple php statement in the define_editable_sidebox_content.php file.. here is the statement:

<? echo 'test link'; ?><br /><br /

but the sidebox shows up with the correct heading but the 'test link' does not..
