Sidebox Anywhere mod - Please Help

[DrByte]

May have to stuff that DIR_WS_IMAGES define into the single_sidebox.php file, above the line that calls application_top (remove the // from the beginning of the existing line, and set the URL in it.)

It could be that the separate-server issue is causing the define to not carry over.


What's most puzzling, is that if your tjrstores/new_stock.php file is calling the *same* single_sidebox.php file as your iwac testsite/index.php, why isn't the iwac one also pulling the stylesheet reference?
It just seems like your iwac code isn't getting any updates.

OK to clarify..

you want me to put this code...

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'http://www.tjrstores.com/images/');

in place of this code...

//  define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', $zcDir . '/images/');

on my single_sidebox.php file on my tjr store server?

Its all getting confusing now lol

Forget my last post.

It worked.

Now to be a real PITA..

Is it possible to do something similar but for a HTML editor?

Example..

http://iwacstores.com/testsite/shop....user_id=100003

See the 'Store Description here...' that is added in by the user through a HTML editor or WSYGY thing

So all the user would need to do is add a piece of code and it displays.

Or is it just too much of a headache to try it that way?

Hello,

Will this mod work just like on this site?http://www.solarbatshades.com/index.php

I want to have something similar to "Cards we accept" sidebox that is outside the main content so that I could turn off the right column.

If this is not possible with this mod, is there other mods or scripts that I can use?

Thank you

This "sidebox anywhere" mod is intended to display Zen Cart content on non-Zen-Cart sites.
If you're wanting to display logos of credit cards on your Zen Cart store, use one of the various sideboxes in the downloads area intended for that purpose.

Are you asking whether you can install an HTML editor?
Or are you asking to display certain HTML content from your Zen Cart store's database in that space?

Hi,

Im not going to use it to display credit card logos as I know I can get one from the downloads section. Im going to use it for something else and the reason I need one is so that I could turn off the right column but still have what is supposed to be in this column in the sidebox just like in the site I have given.

Sorry, I must be dumb today. I don't understand what you want.
You have a right column with logos and promo info in it.
You said you want to turn it off.
But then you said you want what's supposed to be in the column just like the sidebox.

I think you're only painting half the picture or something. Somehow I'm not getting what you're after.

No. What you want is the 'Blank Sidebox' module (from the downloads section) and someone to do some customzing for you.

DrByte, in the example URL given and looking at the code, page bottom, you can see where the customization was done to turn OFF the Right column and use the BS mod to make it look like there is one. Kinda orginal actually as the BS mod by being taken outside the main Table and put in the Copyright Div, giving the Template a somewhat different look.

I'd like to be able to place multiple sideboxes on a page outside of my cart. I've tried one sidebox and it works great. When I try two boxes the second one doesn't appear.

Code sample:

<table width="540" id="main_bottom">
<tr>
<td valign="top" id="main_bottom_td"><div align="center">
<?php
$zcSBmodule = 'whats_new.php';
$zcSBlayout = 'left';
require ("cart/single_sidebox.php");
?>
</div></td>
<td valign="top" id="main_bottom_td"><div align="center">
<?php
$zcSBmodule = 'featured.php';
$zcSBlayout = 'left';
require ("cart/single_featured.php");
?>
</div></td>
<td valign="top" id="main_bottom_td"><div align="center">
<?php
$zcSBmodule = 'featured.php';
$zcSBlayout = 'left';
require ("cart/single_featured.php");
?>
</div></td>
</tr>
</table>

I tried using all three boxes named single_sidebox.php and then tried using ones named differently like single_featured.php but still can't seem to get more then one to appear.

Also, is it possible for the single_sidebox.php to have a setting that overrides the max value set in Zen Cart? Say I have the max value for featured set at 3 inside Zen to display 3 items within the box in the cart but I only what 1 item to appear in the box outside the cart. Is there a variable I can set within single_sidebox.php??

Thanks in advance.
