I just checked the demo version of cherry template and it appears to have both information and more information sideboxes so you should be able to use the instructions below

To add the link in your Information sidebox, copy the following code and add it in the desired location in includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/information.php:

if (DEFINE_RETURNS_STATUS <= 1) {
$information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_RETURNS, '', 'SSL') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_RETURNS . '</a>';
}

(If you want it in the more_information sidebox, change $information[] to $more_information[] and add it to includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/more_information.php)

Yes it appears to have both information and more information sideboxes, but the are not where they are suppose to be. The location in includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/information.php: does not exsit in the cherry for some reason. I believe it is done with english PHP Script some how.
Here is a peek at it, see what you can find out. I added the code and uploaded it but it still does not show up.
Thank you again

What is the name of your custom template (i'm guessing it something like "cherry_zen")

So... the install.txt instructions tell you to:

Before uploading change the YOUR_TEMPLATE directories to match the name of your custom directory.

The files are arranged in the same structure as Zen Cart so You can FTP each directory to your site.

So... change the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder names to ('cherry_zen") or whatever the name of the template is.

My custom template folder name is luck_charm. Everything is in the right place. The template was made without the sidebox information.php: I don't know how he did that, but he did. The only thing that is in the

includes/modules/sideboxes/luck_charm/ is my godaddy.php and the links_box.php.

If you could tell me or we can figure out how the information sidebox is diplaying without the information.php being there we might have a winner.
Thank you again

The way Zen Cart works is that it will look for the various files in your custom folder first, if it doesn't find that particular file then it looks in its default folder(s).

The reason it finds the information sidebox is that it was found in
includes/modules/sideboxes and in
includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes

so to add the the return code to the information box
go to includes/modules/sideboxes
open information.php and add the code for the return authorization link

save the edited file in your custom folder and upload to your server.

Glad you got it working

**countrycharm** · 1 Sep 2007, 06:10 PM

Thank you Clyde for all your help and clarifications. It's showing up now like it is suppose to now. Sorry for being such a pain.
Thank you again

**seancon1** · 12 Sep 2007, 07:48 PM

quick question about the field names in the form,
everything seems to be working, except the labels are incorrect.
for example it has ENTRY_NAME Rather than Name and ENTRY_EMAIL ranter than just email. also next to the phone number it has ENTRY_OPTIONAL_SYMBOL and so on. i renamed the template before upload and ran the sql patch.

Thanks

Sean
