Help putting code in a blank sidebox

[brimsjewelry]

Have sales-n-stats installed on my site in the html_header.php but I want to put it in a sidebox instead of at the top of every page. However, when I put the code in the sidebox it doesnt parse correctly and consequently does not work.

Can someone help me do this?

Thanks

Jason

have you tried inserting this into the blank sidebox tpl from
<!-- [Sales-n-Stats live help button] --> clear through
<!-- [/Sales-n-Stats live help button] -->
Leaving the remainder where it is above the /head terminator

Sigh...I don't know lol, I know absolutely nothing about code. I'm not even sure I edited the right file. No matter what I put in there I get errors.

I put the following in the tpl_blank_sidebox.php:

<?php

*/

$content = '';
$content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">';

// Replace the text and HTML tags between the apostophes on lines 19 and 20.
// Use as many or as few lines using this model as you need for your custom content.

$content .= '<p>' . Live_Chat . '</p>';
$content .= '<p>'<!-- [Sales-n-Stats live help button] -->

Try just the html and not the php

ok, i replaced it with that code and it returns this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/brimsjew/public_html/includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_blank_sidebox.php on line 20

Opps!! Check your source for this as I missed the several php tags in this and I do not think that/or do not know how to execute php code in this sidebox

Might have to wait for another to see this

Argh! LOL Ok, well many thanks for the effort! I do appreciate it.
