Scam advisor logo and link into sidebox

[Phil Lomas]

Hi I need to put this code into a seperate sidebox and tried pasting the html into blank_sidebox. When I turned the box on i lost everything below the header. site is bikeporndotcodotuk.

Any thoughts on why?


<div>
<div id='sealImage' imageSize='110' sealType='1'></div>
<script language="javascript" src='//seal.scamadviser.com/seal.js'></script>
</div>
<script language="javascript" src='//seal.scamadviser.com/sealCheck.php'></script>

Regards

Phil

There's nothing inherently wrong with the code you posted; therefore, there must have been an error in the way you put it into the blank sidebox file. If you got a partial blank page, that indicates a PHP fatal error, which would have generated an error log. Look in your Zen Cart /cache/ or /logs/ folder, depending on your Zen Cart version, for the latest mydebug file and post it here. The other information requested in the Posting Tips may also be helpful.

Instead of starting with blank sidebox, maybe this would be a better starting point:

Hi swguy

This looks like a better option however is php.

do you know if the code could be easily integrated.

Hi

Nothing in the error logs. If I changed the sidebox to the righthand side the left hand boxes then appear. But still can't work it out.

Only a PHP error can make output stop at a certain point. If the output is just getting misdirected after that point, it will be apparent from View Source. Can you reactivate the sidebox for a bit so I can look at the source code? The version info and other Posting Tips questions may give clues, and we probably can't help without knowing more. Posting the complete blank sidebox file (whichever one you put your custom content in) will also help diagnose the issue.

You can always put HTML output content into a PHP file. There is nothing tricky about it, but you do need to understand how PHP to HTML output works. That is something you can look up online if you need to.

Hi GJH42 entire php file is below

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

You have mixed single and double quotes inside the single-quoted content string. The single quotes in the content are terminating the string and causing a PHP error, which would be in the error log if you have one. What version of Zen Cart do you have? Older versions do not have debug logging built in. If this is the case for you, you urgently need to upgrade to a newer version or else you will get hacked by the first hacker who finds your site. The older versions (v1.3.8a and older) have a serious security vulnerability that was discovered (and patched) in June 2009.

For your content, either replace the single quotes with double quotes, or escape them like this: \' .

$content .= '
<div>
<div id='sealImage' imageSize='110' sealType='1'></div>
<script language="javascript" src='//seal. 

$content .= '
<div>
<div id="sealImage" imageSize="110" sealType="1"></div>
<script language="javascript" src="//seal.(etc...) 

$content .= '
<div>
<div id=\'sealImage\' imageSize=\'110\' sealType=\'1\'></div>
<script language="javascript" src=\'//seal.(etc...)

Hi

Version 1.5.1

Thanks the \ have sorted it. I read about them but ran the code through a php checker and it passed so thought it was something else. Also couldn't see the \'s on another site that I looked at the code for. Anyway it is sorted and thanks for your help
