[swortis]

Anyone know if there's a simple way of adding a "Recording Arist Select" sidebox?

or, in general..

A way of adding new "select" sideboxes?

Thanks,

Greetings,

Did you resolve your issue?


I am trying to add an Artist sidebox also..

I have copied from record_companies and created/modified:
\modules\sideboxes\artists.php
\index_filters\artist_filter.php
\templates\template_default\sideboxes\tpl_artists_select.php
\language\chrome(my custom template)\english.php

The box shows on my test website www.reggaemp3.us but there are no Artists listed in the box although if you select a line showing '..' it will go to the artists products.

Any advice anyone can give will be greatly appreciated.

'Live' site is www.reggae-mp3.com.. Thanx..... Kamel

you need to add row to a get_terms_to_filter table. Try this one:
insert into get_terms_to_filter values ('artists_id', 'TABLE_RECORD_ARTISTS', 'artists_name')

Hi. I did not add an artist sidebox to my 1.3.9f cart as discussed in the 2008 posts above. However, a Record Artist box appears in Admin>Configuration>Extras along with the Music Genres and Record Companies sideboxes in the 1.3.9f cart.

However, although the Music Genres and Record Companies sideboxes are turned on with the Layout Boxes Controller, I see no control for the Record Artist sidebox.

Is there an Admin control to turn on the Record Artist sidebox, and if so, where is it found?

Or is it necessary to do the insert statement in PHPMyAdmin described in the 2008 Post #4 above to get the sidebox to show up in Admin>Configuration? If the latter, I am not sure of the steps to insert this statement.

Thanks for any comments.
