thank you, I only use 1 sidebox so this solution will work for me :-)

Documentation now available: https://github.com/lat9/news_box_man...wsbox_types.md

seems there is a mistake in the docs, you forgot to adjust the defines after you copied and pasted

Add the names of the additional types (5 through 8):

    define('BOX_NEWS_NAME_TYPE1', 'Type1');
    define('BOX_NEWS_NAME_TYPE2', 'Type2');
    define('BOX_NEWS_NAME_TYPE3', 'Type3');
    define('BOX_NEWS_NAME_TYPE4', 'Type4');
    define('BOX_NEWS_NAME_TYPE1', 'Type5');
    define('BOX_NEWS_NAME_TYPE2', 'Type6');
    define('BOX_NEWS_NAME_TYPE3', 'Type7');
    define('BOX_NEWS_NAME_TYPE4', 'Type8');

Cindy, this is great, however is there any way to create an index for the articles?, and how do I get them to come up in a search?
Or a list of the different sections in my footer? www.AmorAromatherapy.com

Thanks
Tania :-)

Tania, you'll use index.php?main_page=all_articles&t=1 to view all articles of Type1.

Thanks Cindy.... ummm, where am I putting that exactly...? Developer Tool Kit didn't find a resemblance of this at all...

You'd edit your site's footer, creating an anchor tag similar to

<a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ALL_ARTICLES, 't=1'); ?>">Articles for Type1</a>

I have a couple of questions.. I am using 1.5.7 v3.1.1.
I am trying to change the wording at the top of the "All Articles" page. The heading currently says: "ALL TYPE4 ARTICLES". Can you please tell me how I can change this? The url is:https://coolintentions.com/index.php...l_articles&t=4.

Also, for some reason the articles use to display at the bottom of the home page and when I upgraded to the more recent version of this module, it no longer will display. Any help would be awesome. Thank you.

Oh, one more thing....
Just for the record, I did copy over the following to the existing tpl_index_default.php

<?php
//-bof-news_box_manager-lat9 *** 1 of 1 ***
$mnbf = $template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_news_box_format.php', DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base, 'templates') . '/tpl_modules_news_box_format.php';
if (file_exists($mnbf)) {
require $mnbf;
}
//-eof-news_box_manager-lat9 *** 1 of 1 ***
?>
