Combining Sideboxes?

[guynumber6]

How do I combine the "Information" and "More Information" sidebox links into one Super Informational sidebox?

One of the easier methods to get what you seek is to copy down each current path
i.e.
index.php?main_page=shippinginfo
index.php?main_page=privacy
etc

use and place the ezpages sidebox in the correct location you want and add all the internal links to it

In english.php you can rename this side box to a name you prefer

Lastly turnoff info & more info

I guess that means I have to finally figure out EZ Pages. ;)

Thanks!

You will be wanting your ez-pages to serve as "internal links".

This is a LOT easier and a million times faster than hacking the core code to try a combination. I use this method frequently, and it takes just a few minutes to set up a combined sidebox - not only with the "information" and "more information" links - but a lot more besides...

And what about multi-language... shameful trouble that causes then...

Good info. I can see using this for static links like Shipping, Privacy, etc. But what about also combining things like categories, etc. where the links could change from time to time? I obviously can't hard code the links since the list is dynamic. What's the solution?

There already exists a categories sidebox...
Why do you want to re-invent the wheel?

Sorry, perhaps I didn't word my question properly.

I added categories and manufacturers sideboxes to my left column. But they are in separate boxes. What I want is ONE box, with both categories and manufacturers in it.

The only way that I am aware of to do this easily would be to edit a copy of the category sidebox code adding the code from the manufacturers sidebox to it
