Admin-Editable Sidebox - Support Thread

[kuroi]

The answer to your question when you posed it would have been that this is because the form is inline and therefore its declaration is taking up a line. This could have been resolved by the targetted CSS

#editablesidebox form {display: block}

But while I was writing this, the sidebox changed somewhat!

Hi,
What exactly is the file name of my currency php file. I wish to delete the dropdown box and add my paypal image. I think it is tpl_currencies.php but after looking at so many posts, I' m not so sure.

Also does that require any changes to my main (index) page, which I have no idea what is is named on my server. It is not main.php, nor is it index.php as neither one of those exist on the server.

Kinda lost here now..

Thanks for any help.

<img src="/zencart/images/paypal.gif">
</html>

This listed above is the tpl_currencies.php (Named "We Accept") that is on the storefront.
I have got the image to show up, but it is located above the currency box and not within the box as I had hoped.

What I am trying to do is eliminate the drop down and use this image only.

I need some simple information on how to delete the dropdown and locate the image properly.

Any info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

A few things ...

Firstly this is the support thread for the Editable Sidebox Add-in Mod rather than the currency sidebox. Nevertheless, let's quickly answer your question.

The easiest way to do what you want is to use the Blank Sidebox mod and follow the instructions embedded in that mod for inserting content such as images, and then just turn off the currency sidebox.

If you really want to hack the currency sidebox then you should replace the following:

$content .= zen_draw_form('currencies_form', zen_href_link(basename(ereg_replace('.php','', $PHP_SELF)), '', $request_type, false), 'get');
$content .= zen_draw_pull_down_menu('currency', $currencies_array, $_SESSION['currency'], 'onchange="this.form.submit();"') . $hidden_get_variables . zen_hide_session_id();
$content .= '</form>'; 

with this

$content .= zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'paypal.gif', 'Paypal logo', '148', '112'); 

and lose the </html> tag that is corrupting your page's structure.

Kuroi,
Outstanding. That is exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you very much.

Is there a way to show the editable sideboxes on the main page only? I don't want them to show in the product listing or product info display.

Thanks

Doh. I guess I need to search the Forums AND the FAQ's before posting.

Sorry.

But thanks for your help!

Hi,

What's the best way to place a link to a new page into the sidebox I have tried:

$content .= '<?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link( PAGE_NAME, '' ) . '">Link Text</a>'; ?>';

It does not like it?
