I'm trying to put my SSL badge below my sideboxes

I want to put my clickable Authorize.net badge underneath my sideboxes instead of inside a sidebox. Can someone help me with the code to do this. I want it on my right side of the page, underneath the last sidebox, and I want to be able to click on the graphic and link to Authorize.net verification.

Thanks for helping me with this, hopefully I'm almost to the point that I won't keep asking all of you questions. You've been so helpful to me this past year and a half, I'm coming down to the finish line now, and I'm one nervous racehorse. :wacko:

Re: I'm trying to put my SSL badge below my sideboxes

Why not use a sidebox? That way you can have a heading that makes it very clear what the seal means. The "verified merchant" that's on the seal doesn't make it completely clear that the site is secure. By using a sidebox with a heading, you can make that crystal clear. Example:

PS: The authorize.net seal isn't actually an SSL badge. That would be from the company that provided your SSL cert.

Re: I'm trying to put my SSL badge below my sideboxes

Yours looks good Resco, how did you do that? Did you use a blank box module?

I didn't refer to that ssl badge correctly. I have the seal and the verification code from authorize.net, I worded it wrong when I called it a badge. I have what you are referring to.

Re: I'm trying to put my SSL badge below my sideboxes

I simply used a banner box and edited the heading and contents. But you could also use the blank sidebox mod.

Re: I'm trying to put my SSL badge below my sideboxes

I see you now have it placed in a box. To change the heading from sponsors to whatever you'd like it to be, you would edit includes/languages/your_template/english.php

define('BOX_HEADING_BANNER_BOX','Sponsors');

I would also remove the "accept credit cards" link from the coding.

Re: I'm trying to put my SSL badge below my sideboxes

THANK YOU!!!! I'm trying to do that right now.

One more thing, I created a .jpg with the graphics for my credit cards and paypal to put in the same box, how do I do this?

It has taken me the entire afternoon to do this. Egads, I have no comprehension. Oh, thank you for telling me where to look to change that sponsor name. I'm going to copy what you did and put Secure Shopping in it. :clap:

Re: I'm trying to put my SSL badge below my sideboxes

Got it! It now says 'Secure Shopping' instead of 'Sponsors'- I was reading online about how to do this, I was trying to change the name in my 'includes/languages/english.php,' because that was the information I was getting, I should have realized I had to go in my ''Cherry Zen english.php' -

You told me where to go, and it was a snap! Thanks again, I've sat here until my eyes are crossed, just trying to get this last step finished!

<img src="https://www.bigredworkwear.com/images/cclogos.jpg">

Put a <br> between the two, and wrap both in <div align="center"> </div>

Re: I'm trying to put my SSL badge below my sideboxes

DID IT!!!! It worked, great - my graphic is a little fuzzy, but I can fix that, I love the design part, just get in trouble with the guts of it!

Thanks so much for helping me, live soon, maybe tomorrow. :clap:

Re: I'm trying to put my SSL badge below my sideboxes

I would still remove this from the authorize.net coding:

<a href="http://www.authorize.net/" id="AuthorizeNetText" target="_blank">Accept Credit Cards</a>

Re: I'm trying to put my SSL badge below my sideboxes

I removed it, I don't even question why, I just did what you told me to do. :blush:

Thanks so much, have a great evening!
