About Us Page won't display

I've created a new about us page called "Pay by Paypal" which I want to include in my right side sideboxes. I've configured it in admin layout boxes controller, I've reinstalled About_Us latest module. Everything is there, it's activated but it won't show up on my page. Any ideas what I may be missing?
Thanks for your help

Re: About Us Page won't display

Are you trying to put it in a box by istelf or in the information box like mine?

See http://www.topnotchbassbaits.com

If you are wanting it in the Information box it is done with the Define Pages editor.

Actually I looked at your site again and also re-read your comment regarding information Box. I guess what I'm looking for is how to place an image like your credit card image on your right column. I have the .gif image from Paypal saved.
Thanks in advance for your help

Re: About Us Page won't display

A link might help.

Which Blank Sidebox file did you insert your HTML in (there are two possibilities).

Re: About Us Page won't display

The box on the left hand side at the top of my site was created with Blank-sidebox.

Re: About Us Page won't display

i installed the paypal script in the tpl_blank_sidebox.php file. I removed it the script from language/english/extra_definitions/My template/blank_sidebox_defines.php.

Now when I activate in the layout boxes controller It actually removes the Better business sidebox that I have there, but still doesn't show up.

url is https://www.tte.ca

Re: About Us Page won't display

Did you rename EVERY instance of "blank_sidebox" or "BLANK_SIDEBOX" to whatever name you chose for the second box?

Re: About Us Page won't display

I've renamed every file twice (i.e:pay_with_paypal for blank_sidebox.php). this sideboxes/Tte/pay_with_paypal.php shows up in the layout controller box. when I activate it it still removes my better business sidebox, but doesn't appear. Even when I deactivate the better business bureau sidebox it still doesn't appear. Ive tested the files and they all open in any browser and there are no syntax errors. I'm at a loss as to why. This is suppose to be a simple moodule to work with, but ever since the first install with about us pages module it hasn worked at all.

Re: About Us Page won't display

Hey BigAl I succeeded in getting the logo on the sidebox, but with banner manager. I had to remove the betterbusinessbureau logo because ther wasn't enough space on the page for both. If you go and see my site now you will see that the paypal box is outside my sidebox a little. What would you suggest on how I can fix this. I have resized the paypal script but I don't think I can go any lower I presently have it at 140px wide by 168px height. my sidebox default width is 148px
url is https://www.tte.ca

Thanks for your help.

Re: About Us Page won't display

Resize it so that it is a little narrower that the sidebox, height does not matter but keep it proportional.

You can find the sidebox width in

Admin/Layout Settings

Column Width - Left Boxes
Column Width - Right Boxes

And

Column Width - Left
Column Width - Right

Hope it helps.

I was looking at your site and all of the words with ' in them look wierd. "you're" looks like "you’re". Thought you would want to know.

Re: About Us Page won't display

its got nothing to do with width of my default sideboxes. I need to change the width of the actual payypal b image. I know its thru the stylesheet. I jus don't remember how.

As for "I was looking at your site and all of the words with ' in them look wierd. "you're" looks like "you’re". Thought you would want to know." I just tested it with 4 different browsers and couldn't replicate what you experienced.

Reason could be is that your settings are set to HTML viewing.

Re: About Us Page won't display

Sorry if I offended you.

I would just resize the image, if you don't want to do that I don't know where to look to change it in the file system.
