Re: Blank Sidebox support thread

Does this work with 1.5.5a in the default Responsive classic template?

Re: Blank Sidebox support thread

I added the blank sidebox module and it comes up in the sideboxes admin but it wont appear on my storefront. I'm using 1.5.5f and I thought I had all the paths correct. Can someone please help. Thank you

Cheers

Re: Blank Sidebox support thread

Yes the code would be similar to the information, more information and footer menu links.

**includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/**common and sideboxes

Then you can load those into a new mobile safe browser window **or **use the stock popup function similar to the [help?] link

Re: Blank Sidebox support thread

I love the flexibility of the blank sidebox. I've been trying to find information on if it will or will not allow scrolling images, perhaps with one of the scrolling mods available. I found 1 statement regarding this that states "non-rotatin static buttons, images in one sidebox" and suspect that's only in its native form as it seems that with such great flexibility there should be a way. I have 21 images that I would like to scroll thru it. Can anybody point me in a direction I can chase to see if I can make this happen? I don't really don't want to take the chance of breaking it without a bit of advice. Thank you all!

You might want to look at lat9's scrolling sideboxes and adjust accordingly.

Re: Blank Sidebox support thread

I installed this on 1.5.7c and o have two issues.

This does not show up in the menu on my phone, but the box appears when looking at the site on the computer.
I’m using this for social media links. Each row has a small dot paling the left hand side of the box.

Any ideas on how to fix these two issues?

Re: Blank Sidebox support thread

You have to add it to your phone menu. (This is template dependent.)
Sounds like you are displaying them as a bulleted list. Just remove this formatting.

Installed quick and easy and is working perfectly. The only problem I'm having is it showing up at the top of most category/product pages in mobile.
