Admin-Editable Sidebox - Support Thread

[kuroi]

Im using the free template from template monster templatemonster.com/free-templates.php
I have enough knowlegde on how to tweak a css. But im still having a hard time figuring out how to customize the overall look of just this mod. There werent any instructions on how to customize the look that came with the package! I know that might have something to do with the content that various people might want to put into the sidebox. I just want to put hyperlinks to my sub-categories in this sidebox, in a custom way that mimics the original template!

This question would not arise for a default installation of Zen Cart, or indeed any properly structured template, as the new sidebox would simply pick up the styling that you have for all your other sideboxes. However, Template Monster seems to go out of its way not to structure things properly, and it's simply not possible to write instructions for dealing with all the different ways that they manage to mess up otherwise well-formed Zen Carts. (Indeed a search of the forums will show that they often can't even fix the problems themselves.)
