Logo Sidebox Help

For some reason, I cannot get my image to show. I made sure everything was spelled correctly. I checked paths to make sure everything coincided. I also changed paths as a test putting the jpg in same directory, still a no go. I must be missing something really simple!

I am running 1.38 of Zen Cart.

Here is what I currently have:
http://www.crochetgarden.com (lower left, last box on left), has red X.

Here is what I have in my file:

how do i add mutiple logos in my logo sidebox with hyperlinks for each?, because im an authorized dealer for a couple companies and id like to have them in my sidebox.

While the contrib was designed for only one logo, its easy enough to edit the following files to include multiple logos.

open includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/logo_sidebox_defines.php

below the default define statements just add additional define statements for your other logos.

define('LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_WIDTH', '125');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_HEIGHT', '125');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE', 'test_logo1.jpg');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_TEXT', 'My Logo1');

//this is optional if you want to use the logo as a link
//replace your_link.com with the link you choose
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX1_LINK', 'http://your_link.com/');

define('LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE_WIDTH', '125');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE_HEIGHT', '125');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE', 'test_logo2.jpg');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE_TEXT', 'My Logo2');

//this is optional if you want to use the logo as a link
//replace your_link.com with the link you choose
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX2_LINK', 'http://your_link.com/');

now open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_logo_sidebox.php

add the following statements

// Link Option - uncomment this if you intend to use the logo as a link
//$logoimage1 = '<a href="' . LOGO_SIDEBOX1_LINK . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_TEXT, LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_WIDTH, LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a>';

//comment this out if you use the above link option.
//$logoimage1 = zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_TEXT, LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_WIDTH, LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_HEIGHT);

// Link Option - uncomment this if you intend to use the logo as a link
//$logoimage2 = '<a href="' . LOGO_SIDEBOX2_LINK . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE_TEXT, LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE_WIDTH, LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a>';

//comment this out if you use the above link option.
//$logoimage2 = zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE_TEXT, LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE_WIDTH, LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE_HEIGHT);

// $content .= '<br />' . $logoimage1;
// $content .= '<br />' . $logoimage2;

Hope this helps.

Clyde,
I'd like to add a second logo sidebox. I am currently using one to display a link to my tag previewer. I'd like to add a second for announcements, upcoming shows, vacations, etc. What do I call the files for the second sidebox & what do I need to add/change in the stylesheet to accomplish this?

rename the files as indicated(highlighted

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/logo_sidebox_one_defines.php
includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/logo_sidebox_one.php
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_logo_sidebox_one.php

For logo_sidebox_one_defines.php make the following changes

define('BOX_HEADING_LOGO_SIDEBOX1', '');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_WIDTH', '125');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_HEIGHT', '125');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE', 'test_logo1.jpg');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_TEXT', 'My Logo1');

//this is optional if you want to use the logo as a link
//replace your_link.com with the link you choose
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX1_LINK', 'http://your_link.com/');

for logo_sidebox_one.php make the following changes

  if ($show_logo_sidebox == true) {
      require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_logo_sidebox_one.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_logo_sidebox_one.php');
      $title =  BOX_HEADING_LOGO_SIDEBOX;

for tpl_logo_sidebox_one.php make the following changes

/ Link Option - uncomment this if you intend to use the logo as a link
//$logoimage1 = '<a href="' . LOGO_SIDEBOX1_LINK . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_TEXT, LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_WIDTH, LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a>';

//comment this out if you use the above link option.
//$logoimage1 = zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_TEXT, LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_WIDTH, LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_HEIGHT);

$content .= $logoimage1;

You shouldn't have to make any changes to your stylesheet.css

Clyde, I have the logo_sidebox_one showing up in my layout boxes controller, so it appears as though I have at least uploaded the files correctly. I activated the box, but it doesn't show up on the site. I cannot seem to find what I've done wrong. I've looked over the files again & again, but I have to still be missing something...Ideas? :frusty:

Here's what I have for the php files...

logo_sidebox_one_defines.php

define('BOX_HEADING_LOGO_SIDEBOX1', 'Notices & Announcements');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_WIDTH', '125');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_HEIGHT', '150');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE', 'notices.gif');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_TEXT', 'Notices');

//this is optional if you want to use the logo as a link
//replace your_link.com with the link you choose

define('LOGO_SIDEBOX1_LINK', 'http://www.blahblahblah" target="_blank');

logo_sidebox_one.php:

$show_logo_sidebox = true;

if ($show_logo_sidebox_one == true) {
require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_logo_sidebox_one.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_logo_sidebox_one.php');
$title = BOX_HEADING_LOGO_SIDEBOX;
$left_corner = false;
$right_corner = false;
$right_arrow = false;
require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);
}

tpl_logo_sidebox_one.php:

// Link Option - uncomment this if you intend to use the logo as a link
//$logoimage1 = '<a href="' . LOGO_SIDEBOX1_LINK . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_TEXT, LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_WIDTH, LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a>';

//comment this out if you use the above link option.
$logoimage = zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_TEXT, LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_WIDTH, LOGO_SIDEBOX1_IMAGE_HEIGHT);

$content = '';
$content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '">';

Hey Clyde,
I made the changes as indicated, uploaded the edited files, and...nothing. I deleted them all & tried again, but the sidebox still doesn't show up. :censored:

logo_sidebox_one does appear in the admin & it is turned on.

My files are uploaded as shown:

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/classic/logo_sidebox_one_defines.php

includes/modules/sideboxes/classic/logo_sidebox_one.php

includes/templates/classic/sideboxes/tpl_logo_sidebox_one.php

What have I done wrong? (and WHY do I have so much trouble with these darn sideboxes?!?!). I am tearing my hair out over this!!

Thanks again for all your help!!

stylesheet.css

#logosideboxContent {
text-align: center;
}

#logosideboxoneContent {
text-align: center;
}

:yes:
THAT did the trick! THANK YOU!! (it looks great, BTW!)

Thansk for the Logo Sidebox mod it is great and working perfectly- It currently has an image which when clicked opens a new window that plays a short video-However, what I really want is for the click to open up a small pop up window that contains the video- Any ideas how I can achieve that?

Thanks

Andy

This thread may give you some ideas.

Also do a search for popups and/or popup windows

Thanks for the references- I have looked, but they dont give me specific instructions regardinga sidebox? I dont know where to put the Javasccript etc- Is it in the sdebox php file??

Thanks

In order to do what you are trying to achieve would require re-writing the entire contribution or creating a completely different contribution.

Hi Clyde,
I've recently installed the logo sidebox - with a couple of teething problems that i managed to rectify, but now i've hit a brick wall!

I intend to have the 'FSB' and 'Link-Up' logos - but the 'no picture' i can't seem to see why this is appearing!

Any help appreciated!
