    help question ?Is It Possible To Create a NEW Side Box?

    Hi, I wanted to know if it's actually possible to create a NEW side box. I was going to have links to ez-pages underneath it. Like how the default "More Information" box had all those pages underneath it. I wanted to create another box that functions just like that. Anyone know how?

    Would appreciate any feedback.

    Why not just activate the ez-pages? It has it's own box.

    Hi there,

    I hope you can help me!
    I have the same question: "Is it possible to create a totally NEW side box?"

    I'm not trying the same thing (don't want links to the EZ pages in the NEW side box), but want to add side boxes with my own promotional content. The side box should have a bg image with a link that takes you to that corresponding page (which -by the way- also needs to be created!). Minor detail: there is only ONE link per side box.

    Or do you suggest to customize the banner side boxes?

    Would appreciate your input!

    It's very straightforward. Go to the downloads section and under sidebox, find "Blank Sidebox." Customize as required, and turn it on in your admin panel.

    Good luck,

    Is it possible to have the Blank Side Box Appear only when viewing certain categories/products?

    You'd have to write custom code to do this.

    Hi again,

    Just wanted to say that I downloaded the blank sidebox from the "downloads" section and it's very easy to customize/implement!


    Thanks a lot!
