Information in footer - need help

I am trying to display the Information Sidebox as inline links, just above my footer.

On another post I saw the suggestion that this should be achieved with ezpages.

But I like to be difficult and do things my own way.

I have added to my tpl_footer:

<div id="altInformation"><?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/information.php'); ?></div>

And in admin>Tools>Layout Boxes Controller, I set the information box settings to:
right/left column status: OFF
single column status: ON

The problem is that the css keeps returning as:

class="rightBoxContainer" style="width:150px;"

This is coming from tpl_box_default_right.php. Why is it not collecting the css from tpl_box_default_single.css instead?

I don't really use my right column, so I could just edit tpl_box_default_right.php to include the css that I want, but I'd rather not, in case I should find a use for that right column.

Any help would be much appreciated.

The only "sidebox" that uses the "single column" status is the search header. It is meaningless for the rest of them.
I think it was an early development idea that was never fully implemented.

You can override that inline styling with a rule like

#altInformation {width: 100% !important;}

Thanks for the info.

It's a shame that this feature was never fully developed (and confusing when you consider that it is an option on every sidebox in admin>Tools>Layout Boxes Controller).

If fully implimented, this feature could make zencart infinitely more customizable.

I agree. I think, based on comments by some of the devs, that something like this may be available in v2.0 (currently in development).
