Admin-Editable Sidebox - Support Thread

[cheapmanuals]

Install the mod and the first box worked fine. The problem is
the next box does not work at all because it has the same content as the first box. I renamed all the files and still the same issue. Is there code that needs to be changed?

Thanks for everything ckosloff,

I said I was investigating how the banner_box.php and banner_box2.php. I work with them and did some tests. I turned the banner_box3.php and magnificent! And now works correctly and I am working on banner_box, 2 and 3 perfectly.

Sorry to make this comment in this forum (do not be mad to discuss other issues) but I'm new to using forums as well.

I don't understand.
Why load two boxes with same content?
If you follow the instructions you will see that in all files you need to rename all instances of "Editable" to whatever you wish to call your new sidebox.
Just use your text editor's "Find and Replace" function.

Glad you made it.
Regarding iframes, the concept is that you put in your editable sidebox just the call to a script that runs on a different page, could even be off-site.

I just finished reading every post in this thread, so forgive me if I missed the answer. I have the mod working well, but cannot remove the white space at the bottom of the sidebox. I saw the post regarding paragraph html coding and checked for that. No luck.

My issue is the Documents box at www.signaturetennis.com/store. The coding I currently have is

<a href="#" target="_blank">DIY Hardcourt Surfacing (Painting) & Patching</a><font size="4" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">_{_}</font><br />

Any ideas are appreciated.

Never Mind. I was operating in "moron mode" and missed the <p /><p> at the end of the coding.

I tried to the blank sidebox mod and finally got it to work. Just uploaded this one, made the changes and it doesn't show in the Tools section but does show up in the admin box layout. Turned it on for left and right but nothing showing. Made sure not to repeat the same mistakes from the blank sidebox mod. Anyone know how to get it to show for now?

Turned it on for left and right

You cannot turn it on for left AND right.
If you see it in Admin, it's there, check the sort order.
Make sure that there are no duplicates with other sideboxes.
After that you should be good to go.
You should see it in Admin --> Tools --> Define Pages Editor.

What I meant was tried both left and right sides. Doesn't show in the Defines Pages Editor either. It is placed 6 out of 6 on the right for sort order. It is turned on for the right side
