The only small difference is that there is also a "define page" created in the html_includes folder, but then, yes, you just edit the content via the define pages editor.

Re: Admin-Editable Sidebox - Support Thread
Have you turned it on and told Zen Cart where to display it in Admin > Tools > Layout Box Controller? Originally Posted by davidandrews

Re: Admin-Editable Sidebox - Support Thread
HI There
Success! Helps if you know where to look! :-)
OK, now the text in the box which reads:
"Replace this text with your HTML content.
You can include text, links, images, HTML markup and even PHP code"
I thought could be altered within the admin
I know i can edit it through the code itself, but is it possible to edit through the admin?
Thanks for your help again
Samantha

I am trying to add a FLASH MP3 player into the code, but its no appearing
My code is this:
<HTML>
<!-- saved from url=(0013)about:internet -->
<!-- Created by Flash Music Studio. http://www.flashmusicstudio.com -->
<BODY BGCOLOR="#ff0080">
<TABLE WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%">
<TR><TD>
<CENTER>
<OBJECT CLASSID="CLSID
27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
CODEBASE="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" ID="FMS" Width="120" Height="200">
<PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="one.swf">
<PARAM NAME="bgcolor" VALUE="#ff0080">
<EMBED NAME="FMS" SRC="one.swf" BGCOLOR="#ff0080"
WIDTH="120" HEIGHT="200" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
</CENTER>
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
So i have a one.swf and an one.xml file as well
I have tried uploading the swf and xml file to
/includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_editable_sidebox_content.php
But the player doesn't appear.
Should it be uploaded elsewhere or do I need to do something in addition to make it play
Thanks!

Re: Admin-Editable Sidebox - Support Thread
There are several reasons why trying to put this code into a sidebox won't work.
Firstly it is the code for a complete page, including closing tags for the body and HTML on the page. This would terminate your page prematurely.
Then it is embedded code for an active element which since April will not launch without visitor intervention in Internet Explorer. There's a good article on how to get around this using javascript on the Adobe site.
And finally, your movie parameter and embed tags both contain the name of a flash movie which may or may not be that of your swf file, but no path to tell it where to find the movie.
Also, I don't understand what you mean by "uploading the swf and xml file to
/includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_editable_sidebox_content.php". This is a file rather than a directory, so you can't upload to it, only overwrite it.
Personally I would use the Blank Sidebox mod rather than the Admin Editable Sidebox for this type of code. The need to edit HTML directly forces you to work in plain text mode and rather negates the benefits of being able to use the WYSIWYG editors which was the main reason for developing this variant. Whereas the Blank Sidebox mod gives you more control over the code generated.Kuroi Web Design and Development | Twitter
