Side Box Banner Groups

[rush_woman]

I made a new 3rd Banner Box. I want only my article links to rotate through it (that's 2 links for now ). The box shows up just fine, has the correct header and everything.

Problem: All banners are rotating through it. I need to change something else. What about this code here. If I change SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET8 to SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_ARTICLES, will it only show that new banner group?


----------------------------------------------------------------

test if box should display
$show_banner_box3 = true;
if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET8 == '') {
$show_banner_box3 = false;
}

if ($show_banner_box3 == true) {
$banner_box[] = TEXT_BANNER_BOX3;
$banner_box_group= SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET8;

require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_banner_box3.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_banner_box3.php');

---------------------------------------------------------------------

thank you!!

If you have added to the configuration table a configuration_key for:
SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_ARTICLES

You could add your banner groups to that and it should call them properly based on who you have defined for that group of Banner Groups ...

Hey Linda ~

I have no clue where the configuration table is. But I'm willing to learn. I'd love to add the proper configuration_key. heck I was thrilled the box showed up the first time. Ah, it's the little things....

Thank you. (BTW, ZC has another fan; I convinced her to try it, then designed her site for her and now she's in love...... she's selling products like hot cakes, too. She loves ZC!)

The configuration table is part of your database ...

If you look in the SQL file mysql_zencart.sql that build the database for the old configuration_key for:
SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET8

You will see how that Banner Box Group is added to the database table configuration to appear in the Configuration ... Layout Settings ...

You need to customize a copy of that INSERT line for your new configuration_key for:
SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_ARTICLES

So that you can easily maintain this via the Admin ... just like the other Banner Groups ...

NOTE: backup your database before making messies ... er ... trying new things ...
