Image Titles Support Thread

[wudchuk]

You want to use not the filename, but the id of the actual sidebox. In this case, view source shows

<!--// bof: subscribe //-->

<div class="leftBoxContainer" id="subscribe" style="width: 200px">
<h3 class="leftBoxHeading" id="subscribeHeading">Newsletter</h3>

so you would name the image boxhead-subscribe.gif.

I tried that the first time, no luck, and I just tried again, and no luck again. Sorry I should have listed all the things I tried. I also tried newsletter, I tried changing capital letters, with boxhead, with out box head - with centerbox, I tried to go into the code where it says ID=$something- and put that in there, that didn't work, that is why I was thinking it might be in the code above.
I should say that I am changing the name on the server, instead of re-uploading a new file, that hasn't seemed to matter with anything else before, but I'm so new I'm not sure what is relevant and what isn't.
thanks again

Glenn, any ideas at all? I'm super stuck!

I downloaded the Newsletter Subscribe mod and looked at its files, but can't see anything in there that would cause the image title to not work. It seems to call the standard tpl_box_default_left/right.php.
I do think that you want subscribe.php and not subscribe_header.php for the sidebox application you are using.

"I do think that you want subscribe.php and not subscribe_header.php for the sidebox application you are using. "

I don't understand this. Should I change something somewhere? Sorry to be slow.

[gjh42]

I think the subscribe_header.php you posted was irrelevant to the sidebox problem.

[wudchuk]

okay, sorry.

Any idea on how to use a image for the newsletter - I don't want it to look different, and I don't want to scrap the whole design...help please

It looks like you could edit /includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/your_template/newsletter_subscribe_definitions.php:

  define('BOX_HEADING_SUBSCRIBE', 'Newsletter'); // sidebox title 

insert the image code here:

  define('BOX_HEADING_SUBSCRIBE', '<img src="yourimagesource"/>'); // sidebox title 

You could also use the zen_image() function in place of the hard-coded <img etc.

thanks as always Glenn, it worked perfectly!

Image Titles and Categories Dressing will not interfere with each other and can be used at the same time.

I'm fairly sure that I have installed it correctly, but when I rename the file to my template, I'm not sure where to place the css - and it renders the site all wonky -

I have successfully installed images for my categories, and want to continue this style down the menu with the zen-cart ez page sidebox heading (Information, and an EZ page sidebox I created called client resources) It's these two area that I can't quite figure out how to replace with an image - is the mod something that will work for that, or is there an easier way around it?

What makes the most sense to me - and this is why I'm not a programmer - is if the Zen Cart developers could somehow give users options on how many sideboxes they want, what they want the header to say, and what they want in them. And not have to jump through the complicated hoops of creating EZ pages and searching through files to find the defines for changing the default heading.... sigh.

Back to reality - my site is
http://www.simplydelightfuldesigns.c...ctsandservices

You can see at the very top of the list there is snippet that says products and services - which I realize is an h3 header - which I know I can display: none but doing that makes all of the h3 headers in the sideboxes go away - which I am ok with, but I am needing them now to know which boxes are called what....

I would like to have the following list of image headers -
*remove products & services
*custom designs (currently have)
*premade designs (currently have)
*other services (currently have)
*Need image for client resources (this is an ez page sidebox)
Need image for Simply Delightful Designs [home link] - this is the Information Sidebox, and I would also like to edit the links that are appearing here - use some, get rid of some, add some -

any help as to how to get images here would be greatly appreciated - I have tried to follow several tutorials and threads and have come up with nothing short of a disaster!

Thank you sooooooooooooooo much!

You seem to have done some of this already. Image Titles will be your best bet for the sidebox headings. Just install it per the readme and save/upload your images with the right names. There are various techniques for the other locations where you want to use images.
If by "remove products & services" you mean the categories box heading, you can add to your stylesheet
#categoriesHeading {display: none;}
to hide just that one.

The next three are individual category headings you have already done.

You want the Information sidebox to have an image heading that says Simply Delightful Designs and points to home? The linking requires some code changes, though still pretty easy. The individual link images will probably need to be coded in the tpl_ file for the box, or possibly the module file. I'll have to check on that later. Some of the Information box links can be turned on/off in admin.
