Admin-Editable Sidebox - Support Thread

[daneh]

Hello Kuroi,

Absolutely great Mod!! I have one question though. Well two actually.

After following the instructions about where to put the new pages, going to admin and turning the sidebox on, I went to the define pages editor and the define_editable_sidebox_content.php file was not in the dropdown list. I triple checked everything according to the supplied instructions, but still not showing. I had copied it to

includes/languages/english/html_includes/future_zen/define_editable_sidebox_content.php

like the directions stated, but it did not show up even after a few refreshes.
Just for and grins, I copied it to

includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_editable_sidebox_content.php

, refreshed, and it was in the dropdown.

Here is the funny thing: when I went to edit it, I noticed the path just above the editing screen.

includes/languages/english/html_includes/future_zen/define_editable_sidebox_content.php

Is this something I need to worry about? I have done all the overrides ( as far as I can tell), but I am not sure of that file because it didn't show up till I put it in

includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_editable_sidebox_content.php

OK, may have figured it out...wrong CMOD. That would do it right?

Question two: As far as adding more than one sidebox, is there a FAQ, post or anything telling which files need to be changed to allow more than one so there won't be a conflict? Just a nudge in the right direction will be great. Keep up the great work.

Hi daneh

Don't rightly know what's happened in your case, though a CHMOD issue is a good hypothesis.

There's a hint at the of the readme that comes packaged with the mod as to how to create multiple instances of it.

I had the same issue as in your first question and found that my problem came from the editable_sidebox.php file (includes/modules/sideboxes/editable_sidebox.php) so I thought I would share in case anyone else faces this.

Look at like 15 which reads:

$define_sidebox = zen_get_file_directory(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '/html_includes/', DEFINE_COMEDIANS_SIDEBOX_NAME, 'false')



After '/html_includes/ I added the name of my override folder so that it looks like this:


$define_sidebox = zen_get_file_directory(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '/html_includes/custom/', DEFINE_COMEDIANS_SIDEBOX_NAME, 'false')



Now I am able to store all of my files in the appropriate override folders and edit via admin.

Sorry, I don't know how to put the code in the nice little window that scrolls inside of this post. LOL, I don't even know how to describe what that box is called. If anyone feels like sharing that information, I will be happy to post that way in the future.

Have fun!!!
