Sideboxes missing after Override/Template change

[misty]

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

Depends which version of zencart you are currently using.

Thanks! I'll have to work on this tomorrow.

I downloaded the Zen-Cart again and when I go to includes/languages/classic/classic file when I click on it is empty. But the english folder when I click on it takes me to the classic header. Is this suppose to be that way or am I missing something in the includes/languages/classic/classic. Thanks. weddinggowns

There's a 'classic' folder inside many of the folders in that area. I believe you only need to copy the files to that location if you want to change the settings in said files. (This is the override system mentioned in a few places.) If you're not changing the default settings from the english folder, you can leave things as they are.

The empty text files are most likely only necessary for the ZIP file's internal sorting. They don't take up any disk or server space, so they're not even worth the time to delete each one.

O, thanks Robert & Clyde for having and solving the sidebar problem. Came upon it myself, tonight.

I edited the sidebar sections I want to display, but the only one that ever shows up is "Categories." Not sure why. I'm using Zen 1.3.8.

I just discovered, if I click "Reset" it turns on whatever the default values are for the sidebar boxes for each template.
