Display certain sidebox on shopping cart page

I want to display only two right sideboxes in the shopping cart page.

Let's say only Tell A Friend sidebox & Who's online sidebox as an example.

I managed to display only right column in the shopping cart page, but it shows all the right column sideboxes. If I turn off the rest of the sidebox except both, it will still display the same sidebox on other pages as well.

Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:

• Product page: only display Best sellers sidebox
• Shopping cart page: only display Tell a friend & Who's online sidebox

What code should I use to achieve this?

Jc,
Take a look at his Tutorial which will get you on the right track

In includes/modules/sideboxes/shopping_cart.php,

  switch (true) {
    case (SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_BOX_STATUS == '0'):
      $show_shopping_cart_box = true;
      break;
    case (SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_BOX_STATUS == '1'):
      if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0 || (isset($_SESSION['customer_id']) && zen_user_has_gv_account($_SESSION['customer_id']) > 0)) {
        $show_shopping_cart_box = true;
      } else {
        $show_shopping_cart_box = false;
      }
      break;
    case (SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_BOX_STATUS == '2'):
      if ( ( (isset($_SESSION['cart']) && $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0) || (isset($_SESSION['customer_id']) && zen_user_has_gv_account($_SESSION['customer_id']) > 0) ) && ($_GET['main_page'] != FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART) ) {
        $show_shopping_cart_box = true;
      } else {
        $show_shopping_cart_box = false;
      }
      break;
    }


  if ($show_shopping_cart_box == true) {
    require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_shopping_cart.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_shopping_cart.php');
    $title =  BOX_HEADING_SHOPPING_CART;
    $title_link = false;
    $title_link = FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART;

    require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);
  }

I'm not sure what to change.

Is this the right code?

  if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'shopping_cart')) ) {
    $show_tell_a_friend = true;
  } else {
    $show_tell_a_friend = false;
  }

I tested the code below by replacing the code in includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sidebox/tell_a_friend.php

Replace this code,

// test if box should display
  $show_tell_a_friend= false;

with this one,

// test if box should display
  if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'shopping_cart')) ) {
    $show_tell_a_friend = true;
  } else {
    $show_tell_a_friend = false;
  }  

Works for me.

But I'm not sure about doing the same with the product page like,

• Product page: only display Best sellers sidebox

Anyone?

Also in Admin > Tools > Layout Boxes Controller, make sure set Left/Right Column Status: ON

The review sidebox will only be displayed on the product info page, you can copy the if condition from that box to the best seller box.

I am not sure if that would work for the best seller sidebox, I believe it is designed to work on product listing pages, but I could be wrong.
