Shopping Cart Sidebox in both columns

Ok, I've looked at the FAQs and posts to try and resolve this issue. But can't see what is probably obvious.

With v1.50rc2 on local server:

I have the shopping cart sidebox turned on in the left column on most pages.

The left column is turned off on product info pages. On these pages I would like to show the shopping cart side box in the right column (which is turned on).

Played around with:

tpl_main_page.php, the beginning of which is:

 if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'product_info,shopping_cart')) ) {
    $flag_disable_left = true;
  }
  
   if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'shopping_cart')) ) {
    $flag_disable_right = true;
  }
      
if ($this_is_home_page) {
     $flag_disable_right = true;
  }
  

and shopping_cart.php in \modules\sideboxes\my-template, the code of which is:

 switch (true) {
    case (SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_BOX_STATUS == '0'):
      $show_shopping_cart_box = true;
      break;
    case (SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_BOX_STATUS == '1'):
      if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0 || (isset($_SESSION['customer_id']) && zen_user_has_gv_account($_SESSION['customer_id']) > 0)) {
        $show_shopping_cart_box = true;
      } else {
        $show_shopping_cart_box = false;
      }
      break;
    case (SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_BOX_STATUS == '2'):
      if ( ( (isset($_SESSION['cart']) && $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0) || (isset($_SESSION['customer_id']) && zen_user_has_gv_account($_SESSION['customer_id']) > 0) ) && ($_GET['main_page'] != FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART) ) {
        $show_shopping_cart_box = true;
      } else {
        $show_shopping_cart_box = false;
      }
      break;
    }


  if ($show_shopping_cart_box == true) {
    require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_shopping_cart.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_shopping_cart.php');
    $title =  BOX_HEADING_SHOPPING_CART;
    $title_link = false;
    $title_link = FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART;

    require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);
  }

I'm pretty sure I need to edit the latter, as an FAQ suggests - but nothing I do seems to work.

Thanks

You would need to customize the code in the modules for the column_left.php and column_right.php as those are set to pull the sideboxes based on the settings in the layout box controller ...

Thanks Ajeh, that makes sense. I can do that.

I managed to avoid altering the code in the column_left & right .php files by adding an extra line in the Layout_Boxes table in the database.

It seemed to do the trick, hopefully without side-effects.

Thanks for the update that this is working now ... :smile:
