Help putting code in a blank sidebox

[kobra]

have you tried inserting this into the blank sidebox tpl from
<!-- [Sales-n-Stats live help button] --> clear through
<!-- [/Sales-n-Stats live help button] -->
Leaving the remainder where it is above the /head terminator

Sigh...I don't know lol, I know absolutely nothing about code. I'm not even sure I edited the right file. No matter what I put in there I get errors.

I put the following in the tpl_blank_sidebox.php:

<?php
/**

*/

$content = '';
$content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">';

// Replace the text and HTML tags between the apostophes on lines 19 and 20.
// Use as many or as few lines using this model as you need for your custom content.
// If you have a multilingual site define your text in the languages/YOUR_LANGUAGE/extra_definitions/blank_sidebox_defines.php and include it as shown in line 19.
// If your site is monolingual, you can put the text right here as shown on line 20 (and nobody will know!)
$content .= '<p>' . Live_Chat . '</p>';
$content .= '<p>'<!-- [Sales-n-Stats live help button] -->

Try just the html and not the php

ok, i replaced it with that code and it returns this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/brimsjew/public_html/includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_blank_sidebox.php on line 20

Opps!! Check your source for this as I missed the several php tags in this and I do not think that/or do not know how to execute php code in this sidebox

Might have to wait for another to see this
