Logo Sidebox Help

[clydejones]

My image is added here, but no change when I uploaded. There's still no image and when viewing in IE, the text extends far beyond the box.
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/pplogo.gif

Open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_logo_sidebox.php.

find the following lines of code and edit as necessary.

I don't understand what I'm supposed to do here:

// Link Option - uncomment this if you intend to use the logo as a link
//$logoimage = '<a href="' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_LINK . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT) . '</a>';

//comment this out if you use the above link option.
$logoimage = zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT);

Let's get your image showing.

You're using the classic template, so make sure your image is located in:

includes/templates/classic/images/pplogo.gif

Clyde picked up on Classic (default) Template being installed. Makes my previous post moot.

BTW, Clyde, any difference between using your Mod and the Blank Sidebox Mod? Haven't used yours but have used the other and can see where the BS mod can do the same things, basically.

Other than not having to write all the define statements from scratch and adding the necessary code in the tpl_(file).php to render the image. You could use either.

Clyde, thanks, that made the image appear like it should. :-) That's definitely progress! I want it to be a clickable image that opens in a new window. Here is the info from the PayPal site - not sure if it's what I need to use:

<!-- PayPal Logo --><table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" align="center"><tr><td align="center"></td></tr>
<tr><td align="center"><a href="#" onclick="javascript:window.open('https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/cps/popup/OLCWhatIsPayPal-outside','olcwhatispaypal','toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, width=400, height=350');"><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/bnr/vertical_solution_PPeCheck.gif" border="0" alt="Solution Graphics"></a></td></tr></table><!-- PayPal Logo -->

Let me do some checking/testing on this.

Thanks so much for your patience and help!!

I have a sort of unrelated question - can you have more than one custom logo sidebox? If you can have a second box, can it contain more than one logo? I was trying to think of a clever way to do my link exchanges. I thought maybe clickable images with links to their sites (that open in new windows) would be neat.

Why not try Links Manager available in the downloads section

Hi Clyde,
Have you had a chance to mull this over? I have my PayPal logo in it's own sidebox, but I wanted it to be clickable. I still haven't figured it out...any ideas? TIA!

Have you tried the paypal verified logo sidebox available in the downloads section

[gizmo_girl]

Thanks, Clyde, that worked perfectly! I was able to change the logo & make it clickable, just like I wanted. I also figured out how to change the sidebox header & the logo size. It looks great! Thanks again for all of your help!! :-)

(OT, but I just realized you are in Colorado - me, too!)

Thx,
Mindy
