How can I define additional pages for the Sidebox?

[memerson]

The shop I am working on requires content which is not as standard in Zen-Cart (as in it will need to be defined manually) but I want this content to appear in the sidebox.

To explain more clearly:

I have a page_2, page_3 and page_4 defined for various things. I now need a page_5 which will contain a paragraph of text that I need displayed in the sidebox and NOT on a separate page. Here is a link to the old version of the store:

http://www.paradise-road.co.uk/dev

As you will see there is a paragraph of text under the last heading in the sidebox ("This Week We Have Mostly"). How can I make this content appear in the sidebox in my Zen store? I am not sure how to even create a new page (and I don't want to use EZ-Pages, this is not the solution).

Thanks in advance.

Ironically, EZpages is the "easiest" solution.

One of the first things I do when I create a ZC site is set up EZPages Internal Links for all the pages that appear in the "Information" and "More Information" sideboxes.

I then switch off these sideboxes completely, as the links are now part of my ezpages "family".

I can then add as many links and pages as I like to either:

• The ezpages sidebox
• The ezpages header bar
• The ezpages footer

No complex editing of PHP
No additions to the database
Just add pages / links as and when you need them...

The thing is, I don't want a link in the sidebox - I want the actual content. As if it's a mini-page in the sidebox. But I need it to be editable by the client (obviously it would be easy enough for me to add a new define parameter in the english.php, but don't want the client to access this file). It may be impossible?

Hmmmm...

Have you looked at the Blank Sidebox module?
