Logo Sidebox Help

[gizmo_girl]

Thanks, Clyde, that worked perfectly! I was able to change the logo & make it clickable, just like I wanted. I also figured out how to change the sidebox header & the logo size. It looks great! Thanks again for all of your help!! :-)

(OT, but I just realized you are in Colorado - me, too!)

Thx,
Mindy

clydejones I hope you are doing well. I have a 2 questions for you if you don't mind. I added my logo box and my logo picture is showing. How do I center it, and how do I add a hyper-link . I have read what to do but I seem not to be able to get it to work. Thank you

How do I center it:

add the following to your stylesheet.css
#logosideboxContent { text-align: center;}


how do I add a hyper-link:
Open includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/logo_sidebox_defines.php
Change the highlighted portion to suit you needs.

define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_LINK', 'http://your_link.com/');

Now open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_logo_sidebox.php

uncomment this line of code: remove the highlighted portion
//$logoimage = '<a href="' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_LINK . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT) . '</a>';

comment out this line of code: add the highlighted portion
//$logoimage = zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT);


Save everything and upload to your server.

Hi Clyde,
So sorry, I've been MIA for a while! I'm in the SE corner, near Lamar. I've been in your corner of the world several times in the last few weeks.

Anyway, I have a quick question on the Link exchange addition. I'm sure it's blatantly obbvious, but what is the name of the sidebox to activate? Everything appears like it should (I think) in the admin settings, I just can't figure out which sidebox to activate.

If you mean the sidebox for the logo sidebox then its logo_sidebox.php

If you mean the sidebox for Links Manager then its links_box.php

Oh, sorry, I'm working with the Links Manager sidebox. I have a mysterious box in my layout boxes controller. It's in RED, which makes me think there are serious errors with it. Here's what it looks like:
sideboxes/classic/WS_FTP.LOG
Since there is not a .php extension, I am assuming that is where the error lies.

Additionally, when I activate that box, I have the following infomation displayed on my web page and it is not contained in a sidebox:
2007.11.02 09:24 B C:\Documents and Settings\zen\includes\modules\sideboxes\classic\empty.txt --> 216.147.62.63 /kings-kreations-www/zen/includes/modules/sideboxes/classic empty.txt

I have checked my path names, and as far as I can tell, I have changed all of the YOUR_TEMPLATE locations to CUSTOM. Any ideas where I should look? Thanks!!

is WS_FTP the ftp client you use to upload your files?

if so WS_FTP.LOG is the log file for something you uploaded to your site.

the red just indicates that you are using the classic template on your site.

look in includes/modules/sideboxes/classic and just delete the WS_FTP.LOG file.

do this on both your PC and on your server.

OK, did that, but I still do not have a links_box.php file. Ideas?
