How to show sidebox "News Box Manager" only for certain menu item?

Hi,

I have just successfully installed News Box Manager which works OK on my website but problem is that news box sidebox is shown on each page and menu item on my website.
My web site main navigation look like this:

HOME | ABOUT US | SHOP | CONTACT |

and I would like for news box sidebox to be shown for example only where cPath=146 (which is equal to = menu item SHOP).

I have followed and read this thread but I still couldn't figure out how to solve this:unsure:

Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance for promt replys!

Cheers:wink:
Adi

Similar to post 14 in that thread, you could add this to your review.php or tpl_review.php file```php
$show_review= false;

if ($_GET['cPath'] == '146') {
$show_review = true;
}

if ($show_review == true) {

//sidebox code

}
This would show the sidebox on that category and all products in it. If it has subcategories, you would want the line to bephp
if ( (int)$_GET['cPath'] == '146') {

It's working great , thnx a lot Glenn for your quick and precise answer/help as always, truly appreciate it:bigups::clap:

  $show_news_scroll_box= false;

  if ($_GET['cPath'] == '148') {
    $show_news_scroll_box= true;
  }

  if ($show_news_scroll_box == true) {

$languages_id = zen_db_prepare_input((int)$_SESSION['languages_id']);
$news_box_query = $db->Execute("select nc.news_title, nc.news_content
								from " . TABLE_BOX_NEWS_CONTENT . " nc, " . TABLE_BOX_NEWS . " n
								where n.box_news_id = nc.box_news_id and nc.languages_id = " . $languages_id . " and n.news_status = 1 and now() between n.news_start_date and n.news_end_date");
while (!$news_box_query->EOF) {
  if(($news_box_query->fields['news_title']) || ($news_box_query->fields['news_content'])){
    require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_news_scroll_box.php', DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes') . '/tpl_news_scroll_box.php');

    $title =  BOX_HEADING_SCROLL_BOX;
    $left_corner = false;
    $right_corner = false;
    $right_arrow = false;
    $title_link = false;

    require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);
    break;
  } 
  else{
    $news_box_query->MoveNext();
  }
}
}
?>

Glad it works for you.
Just as an aside, I notice that this sidebox file has some obsolete code in it that has not been useful for several years:```
$title = BOX_HEADING_SCROLL_BOX;
$left_corner = false;
$right_corner = false;
$right_arrow = false;
$title_link = false;
