Sideboxes missing after Override/Template change

[rachalmers]

I have managed to get most of the Override /template thing working, but when I switch to the new template, the side boxes normally in the classic green (default?) model have disappeared.

I can not find how to get those sideboxes etc to show up. Can someone please point a beginner in the right direction please?

I've read the spots off the manual, sepecially Chp.17, and am obviously missing something.
Some of the directories don't appear to be exactly like the manual, so it gets a little confusing. Especially the bit about where to put my new template-name directories. Which is probably what I am doing wrong.

anyway, I just need to know what and where I put the directories in my override map so the sideboxes show up.

Thanks for any help,
Robert

Did you go to admin -> tools -> layout boxes controller and reset the sideboxes?

Thanks Clyde,
too obvious - which is why I didn't see it :-)

I guess I should also put a <your-template-name> directory in there with the classic and copy all the sidebox files into it yes/no ?
....
sideboxes
classic
mytemplate
banner_box.php
.......
.......



thanks

Not really necessary unless you edit/change any of the sidebox files.

I have lost the information I edited relating to shipping, privacy notice etc in the new template. How do I get it into the new template.

Solve it! I just needed to copy php files from classic to new template.

I had the same problem, this got my sideboxes back. However it has lost my sort order and which boxes are enabled. Can I copy that info from somewhere in the classic folder, or do I have to set it manually again?

I lost my folder under includes/languages/classic awhile ago. It isn't in any of my folders even in my web-hosting folder. Where can I get a copy of it? Do I need to download whole the zen-cart program then copy and put it in? Patty

Yes, but then download and install mod from
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=260

Yes, correct.

Do I download both zip files in the Zen-Cart full release on SourceForge?
