Sidebox Links Not Working

:frusty:

I have been looking for 2 days for the answer to my problem and d*&n there's a lot of threads and I cannot find a similar situation.

I have two subcategories that when I go into those pages the links in the sideboxes quit working and the link on the pages for "Red Wines" is not working.

Pages:

http://www.northernarizonabrewers.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=112_8

and

http://www.northernarizonabrewers.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=112_16

I think the problem is that the two categories are linked and I cannot figure out how to remove the link.

If I'm right some direction would be appreciated.

If I'm wrong then I need more help than I think.

Thanks

LD

Re: Sidebox Links Not Working

you have a box with an absolute position, and im pretty sure its appearing over the navigation (ie the box is covering the links and a certain area and its this that could be covering the links you are having trouble with)

below is the box, have you added this code at some point

<div id="txt_159_C01" style="position: absolute; left: 227px; top: 360px; width: 449px; height: 176px;"> </div>

Re: Sidebox Links Not Working

I am using Firefox and no I have not added any code. I followed the same procedure for all categories. The two categories in question "Grand Cru" and "Grand Cru International" I may have changed the name of existing categories to get these two.

I will try and create two brand new categories, copy all sub categories and products to the new categories and see if that fixes it. I will also try using IE, Chrome and Opera and see if I get the same results.

Thanks

Re: Sidebox Links Not Working

Figured it out. There were some extra "Returns" in the Category Description. I removed those and the links are all working fine.

Thanks for help on telling me something was covering the link.

Re: Sidebox Links Not Working

just to add, all the links were working fine for me in the first place but only in Internet Explorer, the reason i asked about Firefox was, that in firefox the links where covered with a box overlaying the menu items you had described, however in Explorer the overlaying box wasnt an issue for some reason, anyway glad you have it sorted

Re: Sidebox Links Not Working

You can change sidebox widths in Configuration > Layout Settings > Column Right width - Global and Column Right Boxes width.
You can move them all to the left column by setting Column Right/Left status - Global, and enabling the sideboxes for where you want them in Tools > Layout Boxes Controller.

By the way, your site seems to load extremely slowly given its minimal content.

Re: Sidebox Links Not Working

Thanks for your tip, this worked, but can u tell me why the sideboxes are coming in different widths in product listing page, ZC home page, shopping cart page, n with each product on the shopping cart it varies,

Once again, thanks in advance

PS: Yes, I noticed this problem with godaddy hosting, wil have to talk to them, do u think somthing related to many websites hosted on one IP / server?

Re: Sidebox Links Not Working

Search the forum for Godaddy to learn about their many shortcomings for e-commerce hosting.

The shoppingcart box content is pushing out the width of that box, and the rest of the column follows. I don't see a good reason why the content width would not be wrapping to fit in the defined box width... more research needed.
