SideBox Anywhere

[ideasgirl]

Hi, I'm using DrByte's extension to do a sidebox but it doesn't seem to grab the stylesheet formating. Is it supposed to? If not, how can I do this?

Here's the page: www.ideascg.com/featured.php

If I remember correctly I added the required sidebox css to the blog's stylesheet.

[ideasgirl]

Yes, but that's in the case you are adding it to something, but if you aren't? like in this case, isn't supposed to grab all the "template" parameters, including the stylesheet?

Er, um, well, the URL you posted: http://www.ideascg.com/featured.php brings up this:

Not Found

The requested URL /featured.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/1.3.41 Server at www.ideascg.com Port 80

Further, removing the "featured.php" takes one to a site that's running some CMS system, not Zen Cart.

So ... with nothing more than a guess to go on, kerrin's reply is a pretty good guess. And she's right.

Correct link is www.ideascg.com/store/featured.php

In which case it's working exactly as intended. Styling is entirely up to you.

[ideasgirl]

Yes, it's working (never said it wasn't). I thought that since there is reference on the code to the template folders/files, it was supposed to grab the styling. So I'm supposed to do the reference to the stylesheet on the simple_sidebox file? or on the file that is going to be have the final output (featured.php)?

[DrByte]

The only thing it does with the template is read the HTML for output. How you choose to style that is up to you. Most people stuff that into the stylesheet of the page on which they're inserting the sidebox, not the PHP file.

[ideasgirl]

Ok, got it! I just didn't want to brake the styling somewhere doing something I wasn't supposed to.
