Admin-Editable Sidebox - Support Thread

Able to add a second blank sidebox module with no problem what so ever. Just added an events one to the left. Moved coming soon to the right. Movie Samples moved to the left and tried it again. Nothing.

Ok, got it up and showing without any changes so far. However, it is still not showing in the Define Page Editor.

I did upload the editable sidebox. It is the one that says Movie Samples. So I need to move the files to the Admin Folder instead of the Includes?

Sure, just answered in automatic pilot because of the subject of the thread.

Im obviously doing something wrong. Ive extracted the files to the right directories. Im guessing at least. These dont go in the Admin/inludes directory.

They go in the "root" directory the one above the admin directory?

Im asking because ive downloaded and thought i installed both the editable sidebox and the blank sidebox.

Neither one show up under admin -- tools -- layout boxes controller?

I don't understand whats going on?

These mods are designed to be dropped at the root of the store.

Hi -

I installed this and it shows up in admin, the box itself shows up in my left column however no content for the box shows up (except for the heading). I am putting in content in the Define Pages Editor but I also tried putting it directly into the english/html_includes/define_editable_sidebox_content.php.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Hey guys,

after countless hours reading posts after posts, i feel like i'm worthless and need help... :frusty:

I am simply trying to get 2 editable sideboxes. As simple as it sounds, well, it isn't working too good for me.

Editable Sidebox Mod includes 4 files.
I duplicated and renamed all 4. To make it simple, i added a _2 at the end of them... so i got :
editable_sidebox_defines_2.php
define_editable_sidebox_content_2.php
editable_sidebox_2.php
tpl_editable_sidebox_2.php

In editable_sidebox_defines_2.php, it seems there are 3 things to change :
line 15 : define('BOX_HEADING_EDITABLE_SIDEBOX_2', '');
line 21 : define('DEFINE_EDITABLE_SIDEBOX_NAME_2', 'define_editable_sidebox_content_2');

In define_editable_sidebox_content_2.php, well, it's the content of that 2nd editable box, so it's easy enough.

In editable_sidebox_2.php, here is what i got (in blue, the changes made) :
$show_editable_sidebox_2 = true;

$define_sidebox = zen_get_file_directory(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '/html_includes/custom/', DEFINE_EDITABLE_SIDEBOX_NAME_2, 'false');

if ($show_editable_sidebox_2 == true) {
require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_editable_sidebox_2.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_editable_sidebox_2.php');
$title = BOX_HEADING_EDITABLE_SIDEBOX_2;
$title_link = false;
require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);
}

Should anything else be changed ?

In tpl_editable_sidebox_2.php, i don't see anything to change. Am i wrong ?

Please, i am begging you... HELP !!! this is driving me nut...

(oh, and for some reasons those modifications are "blocking" part of my zencart : the center column disappeared) :censored::censored::censored:

Thank you for your time

Nevermind on my previous post, I installed blank sideboxes and it's working perfectly. :clap:

It's a great workaround for extra category boxes, which is what I was looking (great except for having to hardcode the links but you can't everything I guess).

It doesn't look like there is anything to change there. I also had a problem with it, but not with Blank Sideboxes. Maybe you should try that one.

CharInLasVegas:

Nevermind on my previous post,
Seems to me you didn't read the instructions carefully enough.
You need to replace ALL instances of "editable" with some other name.

I believe I had done that, but the blank sideboxes is working fine anyway.

It doesn't look like there is anything to change there. I also had a problem with it, but not with Blank Sideboxes too. Maybe you should try that one.

CharInLasVegas,
Thanks for the tip. I guess i'll try Blank Sidebox and see if i can get it to work.

If Kuroi or Ckosloff (or anyone else) see a solution to my problem, would still love some help. :blush:

Thanks,

problem which btw is on page 17, post #169 ( i probably should have mentioned it in the previous post)

I'm using Zen Cart 1.3.8
It's a Brand New Site
Here is the Link:http://russellwholesale.com/zencart/

I really need some help. I have a lot of catagories that i would like to display in a textfield with a scrollbar so that the page isn't 5 miles long. Can someone give me an idea of where to start? I can get the textfield in the editable sidebox but I can't get the categories/subcategories in it....

I'd really appreciate any help or ideas on this - I've been trying for hours and getting no where.....

Try CSS fly-out categories menu or the Ajax manu.
These mods are in the download area, search keyword "menu".

Again, you have to replace ALL instances of "editable", including the file names.
Just use an editor like free PSPad and do a "Find and Replace".

Thank you Ckosloff. I guess i am retarded 'cause i've tried a couple of time already. A friend of mine did too, but we got the same result : it ain't working.
Not a big deal. I'll try the other Mod from Kuroi and hope to have better luck.
:smile:

Thanks again for your time.

great mod, I have upload all files, so I see the box in layout boxes (admin) and also in home page.
But I don't see the tools>extra page editor, I don't see nothing here.

Also before I customize header I would to solve this.

How can I do?

Thank you
