Admin-Editable Sidebox - Support Thread

Please disregard as I found what I needed.

Yes. Wrote this is response to a request in the forum, but never use these admin editors myself, they are prone to producing dodgy results like this. Glad you caught it.

I hand code all my html so I couldn't find the error and thought maybe it was on the php file somewhere. Turns out that it was simply the fact I had encased my content in paragraph code

Thanks again :)

Oops. That's what I saw too, but assumed this had been done by an HTML editor. Guess I owe them an apology this time, but still don't recommend them. Like you prefer to do my HTML editing by hand and keep clean, lightweight and valid.

lol - I agree with you on that one :)

Kuroi,
I am still struggling with making my second sidebox behave. I have the second sidebox showing, but the content is the same as the first sidebox. Did I miss renaming something? The only thing I can think of, is in the

tpl_editable_sidebox

page.
I have renamed ALL files for the new sidebox so they end in _2.php
I then changed all references of

editable_sidebox

within those pages to reflect the changes (meaning I changed all references to *_2.php.

The only page I did no changes to is the

tpl_editable_sidebox

page.
According to the comment in the page, this is where the new page calls for the new text

// this is where the content that you have via the Admin is pulled in.
  $content .= file_get_contents($define_sidebox);

  $content .= '</div>';

.
Do I need to change something here?

Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to get my second sidebox to mind...The content is the same as my first sidebox. it doesn't seem to want to pull it's content from the proper location. See here: http://hiddenhillsnursery.com/shoppingcart/
to see what I mean.

Thanks

I'm having exactly the same issue. I've uploaded and used the sidebox, then renamed all of the files locally, and uploaded again to gain a second sidebox. However, when I add content to the second one, and activate it, both of my sideboxes have the exact same content. We're missing one more step apparently. But what??

I've even changed code in all the .php files to reflect the new file names, but I'm getting several different outcomes with everything I try. It just doesn't seem to work.

Install the mod and the first box worked fine. The problem is
the next box does not work at all because it has the same content as the first box. I renamed all the files and still the same issue. Is there code that needs to be changed?

Thanks for everything ckosloff,

I said I was investigating how the banner_box.php and banner_box2.php. I work with them and did some tests. I turned the banner_box3.php and magnificent! And now works correctly and I am working on banner_box, 2 and 3 perfectly.

Sorry to make this comment in this forum (do not be mad to discuss other issues) but I'm new to using forums as well.

Glad you made it.
Regarding iframes, the concept is that you put in your editable sidebox just the call to a script that runs on a different page, could even be off-site.
