Logo Sidebox Help

gift_certificates.php as shown has three obsolete settings used in Zen Cart v1.2.x
$left_corner = false;
$right_corner = false;
$right_arrow = false;
but is missing the current setting for
$title_link = false;
Thus, $title_link remains from the previous sidebox's setting. In this case, it contains the value set in /includes/modules/sideboxes/reviews.php:
$title_link = FILENAME_REVIEWS;

So tpl_box_default_left/right.php does this:

  if ($title_link) {
    $title = '<a href="' . zen_href_link($title_link) . '">' . $title . BOX_HEADING_LINKS . '</a>';

I'll fix this in the next update.

So what you're saying is this is a good excuse to release version 2.0.1  :bigups:

clydejones:

I'll fix this in the next update.

Instead of the next update, can you fix it in the next post, LOL. WTF am I supposed to change now?

Seriously, though.

Remove the three statements above and add $title_link = false;

Remove the three statements above and add $title_link = false;

that is correct.

gift_certificates.php

$show_gift_certificates = true;

if ($show_gift_certificates == true) {
require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_gift_certificates.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_gift_certificates.php');
$title = BOX_HEADING_GIFT_CERTIFICATES;
remove these:
$left_corner = false;
$right_corner = false;
$right_arrow = false;

add this:
$title_link = false;

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

ONE LAST THING and I'm done in this thread and moving to the next one LOL.

I am centering the images in each box.

In stylesheet.css I would use these commands?

#logobox1 {
text-align: center;
}

#logobox2 {
text-align: center;
}

using your example in your previous post on how to properly do the three boxes. what would i put in place of logobox1 and logobox 2?

ANDDDDDD in one of the boxes I have an external link but I want it to open WITHIN the middle of my site like the others. Is that hard to do?

#logosideboxContent, #logo2sideboxContent {
text-align:center;
}

external links go to the website/page you are linking to.

Ok folks. I got it all up and running and working. Centered images, creating multiple sideboxes with linking logos, working with external links and EZ-Pages. If anyone reading this thread has any questions, feel free to ask me direct or here and I'll do my best to help. I pretty much understand it now.

Attached is a screen capture. TIA to both Clyde and Glenn.

Version 2.1 of Logo Sidebox is now available in the downloads section

This version contains:
Updated & improved coding
fixed $title_link bug
new comprehensive documentation.

I've been trying to creat extra sideboxes named logo, logoa, logob first 2 install no problem but as soon as I install logob it breaks my site. Renamed all the folders and files as per read me even tried giving them different names ie paylal_sidebox, delivery_sidebox but they still give the same result, is there something I'm missing

all I do is add a to the next and b to the next
thankfully it's not on my live site just a test site I have.
http://www.rvsolarsystems.co.uk/zen1.5/index.php?main_page=

Renamed all the folders and files as per read meDid you also change all of the variables and constants, like

$logoa_image = (LOGOA_SIDEBOX_LINK

yes to be honest I cheated and used find and replace using crimson editor, as I say logo and logoa all changed via find and replace work but logob breaks the test site is the Character case important may be that lower case with lower case upper case with upper case bit late now I'll have go tommorow

Find and replace is the most reliable way to ensure not missing one, as long as you check each one to make sure it is one that should be replaced. If it worked with logoa, I can't think of a reason it wouldn't work with logob. Did you start from the original files each time, or did you change the logoa files to logob?

just renamed all the fies and folder logob

:jawdrop: and how did you get the different fonts on your home page tried for days gave up in the end

If you mean the Future Relics site, all of the collection titles were hand calligraphed by a friend of ours. I converted them to images and inserted them in the appropriate places in define_main_page.php.
