    Default Re: Admin-Editable Sidebox - Support Thread

    HI,

    because zen cart lacks a proper plugin system I am trying to use the override system where ever possible to protect my upgrades when zen cart is updated.

    I have tried putting editable sidebox in all the appropiate overrides folders (shown below). the sidebox appears and can be turned on and off etc , but the editable page does not appear in the defines page.

    If I install as it is in the package this sidebox all works as it should.

    is there some code i need to change or will these sideboxes not work like that.

    I have also tried the fix mentioned at the begging of the thread which did not work.

    includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\CUSTOM\editable_sidebox_defines.php
    includes\languages\english\html_includes\CUSTOM\define_editable_sidebox_content. php
    includes\modules\sideboxes\CUSTOM\editable_sidebox.php
    includes\templates\CUSTOM\sideboxes\tpl_editable_sidebox.php

    Any help would be appreciated.

    @shoulders

    To over-ride some files there needs to be a file to be over-ridden. Some of the files in this package fall into this category and since there are no equivalents to them in the core Zen Cart code, Zen Cart doesn't know to go looking in your over-rides folder.

    However, this is open source software, so if you wish to design a new way of installing the mod that works as effectively as the one in the installation instructions, then you are very welcome and I look forward to hearing more about it.

    kuroi,

    I fixed it!
    This is what was happening: I was using FCK editor and it inputs extraneous characters.
    Moreover, it loads images to directories outside the root of the store.
    So, I went into the source, kicked out all the garbage and it works fine now.

    kuroi,
    I am trying to install a scroller in a blank sidebox, because I tried the editable sidebox and it didn't work.
    I follow instructions, turn on sidebox and it's there, but when I install the javascript, it crashes my test site.
    I see that the sidebox is pulling text from two files:
    1) includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/blank_sidebox_defines.php
    and
    2) includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_blank_sidebox.php
    I tried to copy the script and failed miserably, crashes the site.
    I am attaching the script.
    Please help installing it.
    Thanks.

    Here are the steps I've taken:

    Downloaded the file.
    Unzipped it.
    Opened the Read Me folder for instructions.
    Click-n-Dragged the "Includes" folder from the file's window to my C-panel under Public_html. It looked like it took OK.
    Couldn't find it.
    Logged off and back onto my control panel. Still nothing.

    I follow the path given in the Read Me file, and it's fine until I get to "editable_sidebox_defines.php." When I click that, I get a blank screen. I've also logged off and on my Admin, but the option still isn't showing up under the Define Pages Editor.

    What next? This looks like a wonderful module, and I think it'll be a breeze to use - once I get the bugger installed.

    Why C Panel?
    It just goes to the root of your store...

    Huh? OK, so what do I need to do differently? Or do I need to back up a couple of steps? Because it's still not showing in the dropdown.

    Is your public_html the store root? i.e. did it already have an includes folder?
