Date sidebox

[tcooley2003]

Is there a sidebox for just displaying the date on all pages? Just like the search_header.php sidebox is but instead of search it is just the current date.
This is probably not something hard, I am just new to using Zen Cart and could not find any topics on this.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Travis Cooley

You can try the contact information sidebox from the downloads section.

You can modify it to suit your needs

Another possibility is the Blank sidebox

[tcooley2003]

The contact information sidebox I am already using and not sure how to use a second one or really how to edit it. Like I said I am fairly new to this so I am learning the coding as I go.

The blank sidebox seems like it would work, but I am unsure how to get it to display without the header and header background or how to get the date into that area.

Thanks for the reply though.

I have still been unable to get this to work how I want it to. I cannot seem to get the customization options for the blank sidebox to work correctly.

If it is possible to display the date in the upper right corner of the sceen straight across from the "Home | Login |" links that would be even better than the sidebox but I am unsure how hard that is or how to do it.

Any help is appreciated.

Open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php

Find the following section of code:

<div id="navMain">
    <ul class="back">
    <li><?php echo date("F j, Y"); ?></li>
    <li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>

Add the portion indicated as highlighted

Save the file and upload to your server

Thank you for your help Clyde. This is way farther than knew to do. However, is there a way to move it to the far right of the page?

With this code you gave me it shows (Date) | Home | Login. I would like Home | Login to appear on the left like normal and the date to appear in the opposite righthand side of the screen.

Thanks again for your help.

Sure, You need to just make the following changes:

Find the following code in tpl_header.php

<div id="navMain">
    <ul class="back">
    <li><?php echo date("F j, Y"); ?></li>
    <li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">';

and change it as follows:

 <div class="forward"><li><?php echo date("F j, Y"); ?></li></div>
<div id="navMain">
    <ul class="back">
   
    <li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">';

save the edited file and upload to your server
