Zen Cart Button Removal - Sponsors Side Box

Does anyone know how to get rid of the zen cart button in the sponsors side box? I want to keep the box active on my site, just without the zen cart button.

I am trying to use this space as more of a single image banner of my business.

Thanks for the help.

Re: Zen Cart Button Removal - Sponsors Side Box

Am,
If you lay your mouse on top of the small zen banner, right click and select properties you will see the image path and .gif

  1. images/banners/bw_zen_88wide.gif
  2. you need to rename your tall_book.gif over to bw_zen_88wide.gif
  3. ftp this .gif back to the server and delete the one you made

Re: Zen Cart Button Removal - Sponsors Side Box

Any idea where to find it?
This particular banner is not located in my admin/tools/banners...
I don't even know how it's on really.

Re: Zen Cart Button Removal - Sponsors Side Box

You apparently got to me, before I posted again.

I changed the name sponsors to advertisement. But this is all I see for the english.php

// banner_box
define('BOX_HEADING_BANNER_BOX','Advertisement');
define('TEXT_BANNER_BOX','Please Visit Our Sponsors ...');

// banner box 2
define('BOX_HEADING_BANNER_BOX2','Have you seen ...');
define('TEXT_BANNER_BOX2','Check this out today!');

// banner_box - all
define('BOX_HEADING_BANNER_BOX_ALL','Advertisement');
define('TEXT_BANNER_BOX_ALL','Please Visit Our Sponsors ...');

I didn't see the alt text option.

Re: Zen Cart Button Removal - Sponsors Side Box

Nope, my develpoers tool kit tells me it doesn't find anything that matches.

Error: No matching Configuration Keys were found ... Zen Cart the art of e-commerce

???

Isn't there somewhere in the php file I can change this?

Re: Zen Cart Button Removal - Sponsors Side Box

Am,
yes, I see also, I am try to duplicate this procedure in a demo cart, but I have turned off all the banners

Try this:
admin panel/ tools/ bannner manager

  1. notice the bottom two that state sideboxes
  2. Change the titles to the name you want
  3. lets see if this is not where it is asking for the alt text

Re: Zen Cart Button Removal - Sponsors Side Box

I think we got her. It was located in the BannerAll instead of SideBox-Banners. Great. I have only a couple of other little items to tweak, and I should be off and running!

Thanks for all your help.

Another satisfied Zenner!!!

Re: Zen Cart Button Removal - Sponsors Side Box

Am,
You are most welcome, Glad I could hunt down this little problem.
She had me stumped for a while, I do not use the banner manager in sites I build, so had a little trial and error situation here..

Nice site by the way.
Keep plugging along....
