Comstock Template

[clydejones]

I've found the code you mentioned thanks, but I'm still not sure how I can tell if the user has clicked any of the special categories.
Is there a variable I can test to check if, for example, the user has just clicked 'New Products'?

Thank you!

I'm not sure I understand exactly what it is you're trying to accomplish.

You might want to ask in the better categories sudebox support thread

Using ZC version 1.3.8a and the Comstock template. Web address: www.SarasSoapsnSuch.com.

Question: In the footer, there's a graphic for the credit cards I (supposedly) take, listing MC, Visa, Discover and AmEx, plus Paypal. I don't take AmEx or PP, so how do I change that graphic? I looked in /public_html/includes/templates/comstock/common/tpl_footer.php, but couldn't see anything that looked like the line I'd need to edit for that. I need this to be more accurate. I honestly didn't realize it listed all of them (or I'd have troubleshot this earlier), and now I've got to contact a customer about her AmEx payment that I can't accept.

Thanks!

How can fix this problem?

Thanks a lot in advance.

That is a problem with the default Zen Cart Bestsellers sidebox.

The Comstock template does not include any modifications to this sidebox.

Without seeing your site I'm afraid I can't offer any useful information on solving this problem.

Fixed,
there is in tpl_best_sellers.php
$content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">' . "\n";
calls for definition bestsellersContent which does not exist rather than bestsellers. I could rename it as well but removed the content piece and set needed top margin
I guess that is the same thing that happens in Bestseller box in general, that the browser assumes default top margin

Hi clydjones,

I searched forum, find some has the same issue.
I referred his suggestion, add the new class in the stylesheet.css.

.bestsellersContent {
background-image:url(../images/sidebox_content_bg.gif);
margin-top: 0;
padding:0;

}

and change the /tpl_best_sellers.php.
from
$content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">' . "\n";

to
$content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="bestsellersContent">' . "\n";

BUT it doesn't work, it still has a blank between the sidebox_content_bg.gif and sidebox_header_bg.gif.

Could you help me on this?

Thanks a lot.

try the following:

open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_best_sellers.php

replace the following code:

    $content = '';
  $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">' . "\n";
  $content .= '<div class="wrapper">' . "\n" . '<ol>' . "\n";
  for ($i=1; $i<=sizeof($bestsellers_list); $i++) {
    $content .= '<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($bestsellers_list[$i]['id']), 'products_id=' . $bestsellers_list[$i]['id']) . '">' . zen_trunc_string($bestsellers_list[$i]['name'], BEST_SELLERS_TRUNCATE, BEST_SELLERS_TRUNCATE_MORE) . '</a></li>' . "\n";
  }
  $content .= '</ol>' . "\n";
  $content .= '</div>' . "\n";
  $content .= '</div>';

with this:

    $content = '';
  $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">' . "\n";
  $content .= '<ol>' . "\n";
  for ($i=1; $i<=sizeof($bestsellers_list); $i++) {
    $content .= '<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($bestsellers_list[$i]['id']), 'products_id=' . $bestsellers_list[$i]['id']) . '">' . zen_trunc_string($bestsellers_list[$i]['name'], BEST_SELLERS_TRUNCATE, BEST_SELLERS_TRUNCATE_MORE) . '</a></li>' . "\n";
  }
  $content .= '</ol>' . "\n";
  $content .= '</div>';
