CEON URI with custom sidebox , embedded links not "working" but did

[kitten091182]

It doesn't work It's still showing the default link and not changing. I was thinking of maybe trying a different way to get it to display, by adding extra description fields to the products/categories in admin, then having the editable sidebox call the information in that field? I'm thinking that may be easier as it doesn't involve hard coding each statement into the sidebox. On this page I've added it under more information:http://www.drgreens.co.uk/Environmen...-Odour-Control And it is called in the product_info template with this statement: <?php if($extra_field!='') {
echo '<li>'.$extra_field . '</li>';
} ?> Can't figure out how to get the sidebox to call it though. Do you think that way would work better? Still not sure what is going on with the URL rewrite not allowing me to call it though. My mind is boggled

Let's start by checking variables. Let's output inside the sidebox the content of some variables (so you can visible see what is populated and what is in the actual variables when browsing your site). You will not want to use / leave these code changes on a production site.

Add the stuff in red to the START of the file:

<?php
/**

$content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">';
// Let's see what is currently in $current_page and $cPath
?><div>Current Page: <?php echo $current_page; ?></div>
<div>Current cPath: <?php echo $cPath; ?></div><?php

if ($_POST['cPath'] == '75') {

And by the way, I used Super Globals on my own site, and saw that the $_GET is populated with cPath even though I too have the CEON URI installed... So the method recommended by lhungil should reveal the information necessary to get through this. Although I had started this response yesterday, I hadn't finished it until now... Any luck with getting your sidebox to work?
