Editable Home Page Centerboxes [Support]

[gjh42]

Did you read the readme file in the mod package? It should have good instructions for using the middleboxes.
You should also be able to use v1.1, as there were no relevant changes between v1.3.8a and v1.3.9.
But first, you should know how strongly it is advised to upgrade from v1.3.8a to a more secure version. What is keeping you from doing it? Recovering from a hack is likely to be more involved than upgrading now.

Hi yes I read the instructions, for 1.0 but there is nothing there about how to use them, nothing like version 1.1 with all the sql etc.
are you sure I can use that on 1.3.8.a . I can't upgrade at the moment because I have a number of plugins that are not yet available for the latest version of zen, I have to wait a while longer. :-(

Hi gjh42

it seems to work perfectly thanks for your advice. I have a couple of more question if I may,
I have worked out how to move the box around, re-size it etc. I have not seen yet how I can change the Box Text to my needs" ie Middle Box 1 also how I can remove the Frame? and is this he correct command to align in the middle for CSS

allign:center;
width:95%;
Many Thanks Regards Renz

CSS does not use align: but rather text-align:
However, this applies to the contents of the element, while I suspect you are trying to make the whole box center itself in the column. The best way to do this is to add properties to the box rule for
float: none;
and
margin: auto;

The box headings are defined in the language "extra_definitions" define file described in the readme.

If by "frame" you mean the box border, you can alter the border properties in the stylesheet, or set them to border: none;

Because in version 1 the middleboxes were only in 1 location on the main page and you needed to add content to the middles boxes for them to "appear". In all subsequent versions of this add-on the location of the middleboxes are admin configurable (as the description indicated), and even after activating them you still have to put content in them for them to "appear".

I have uploaded this plugin but all i am getting is its removing my Banner Slideshow ... and error in SQL PATCH file !

[gjh42]

Exactly how did you run the SQL patch? Try redoing it with the "upgrade" SQL which will remove any corrupted previous SQL.

Is your banner slideshow a mod you installed? If so, it may be using the same file that Editable Centerboxes uses, and you will need to merge the customizations from both files into one copy, as the readme describes.

[studio009]

Yes .. it might be using the same file with that mod ..

but donot know how to compile those customizations
