Removing Site Map and other links

Ok, this should have been easy......but......i want to remove Site Map from my side box (as well as gift cert box since I dont offer those), so I went to the ez pages and deleted "site map".......nothing happened. It is still there.

I want to do a little overhaul on that particular side box and am not having any luck.....for instance...i want to change the name of the box from "information" to "Shop with confidence" and cant figure out how to do that either (sorry, I posted this same question on a much older thread earlier).

I am a goof ball when it comes to doing this stuff.....help please?

thanks!

i want to change the name of the box from "information" to "Shop with confidence"
Use the admin > tools > developers tool kit > enter "information" in the bottom left box all catalog files and search...english.php will be displayed along with

define('BOX_HEADING_INFORMATION', 'Information');

Change the text between the single quotes

Your other issue you need to make a copy of includes/modules/sideboxes/information.php and edit/comment out those that you do not want

thanks :shocking: I will give it a go :clap:

ok, so i just remove the entire line? just where it says "site map"? what if I want to break up shipping and returns to be two separate entries.....shipping for one and returns for another? Lord, I need a drink :blush:

ok, i figured that one out thanks!!

now one more thing..i need to create a separate Returns (not included with the shipping define pages) how do I go about that?

thanks!!

im sorry......ONE more thing......LOL

What if I want to add an image to that box I am working on? at the bottom of the box maybe? I know nothing about code, so be gentle with me :)

thanks again!

Got no idea what box you are working on???

The information side box :)

Try adding your image in a copy of the file includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_information.php that you place in your template, where indicated

  }
  $content .= '</ul>' .  "\n";
  Add your content here
  $content .= '</div>';
?>

Hi Kobra,

I am sorry to be such a dunce.....i no NOTHING about code stuff.....here is what the includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_information.php looks like at the moment--(well part of it, I didnt paste all the top stuff). As you can see, I added the img src thingy at line 20. The text i put in works, just cant get the logo in right. And believe me, i added that ssl.gif to every danged image file I have everywhere.....LOL SO where did I go wrong?

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

// Replace the text and HTML tags between the apostophes on lines 19 and 20.
// Use as many or as few lines using this model as you need for your custom content.
// If you have a multilingual site define your text in the languages/YOUR_LANGUAGE/extra_definitions/blank_sidebox_defines.php and include it as shown in line 19.
// If your site is monolingual, you can put the text right here as shown on line 20 (and nobody will know!)
$content .= '<p>' . TEXT_BLANK_SIDEBOX . '</p>';
$content .= '<p><img src="ssl.gif"></p>';

$content .= '</div>';
?>

What you have posted is not the tpl_information.php file as I post the full content below - only a tatal of 19 lines...where did your get this file content??

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

:oops:What i posted was from the blank sidebox module . After fussing around so long last night, i just decided to install the blank sidebox and put the logo in there. What i provided was from that set of files includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_blank_sidebox

if you want to go to the shopping cart, what I have done is the last sidebox to the right (https://www.mooncavecrystals.com/shopping) I am sorry, i am sooooo lost :(

can i just say........my holy cow! how do you folks do this all the time?? My brain is like mush! I am so grateful for you and all those here at zen cart!!! you have noooooooooooooo idea!!

thanks,
and sorry for the confusion,
K

Got no idea what box you are working on???

The information side box :)
So start over - What do you want??

ok, sorry :(

I decided instead of trying to put the image in the information side box as originally planned (and asked for), that I would add the blank sidebox module and put the icon image there.

So, I have installed the blank sidebox module. The box is now entitled 100% Safe and Secure. I added text to the box to explain about the certificate.
Now what I need to know is what code to use in order to make the image show up.

I have added the actual image to pretty much every image folder I can find (one of them has to work right? :) So what I am looking for is the string of code and where to put it using the blank sidebox module folders (I believe the correct one is includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_information.php) since it said I could add images, html, etc on line 20.

make sense??

Try this

$content .= '<p><img src="../images/ssl.gif"></p>';

Ok, i put that in and still no image, so I am thinking I need to look at the other files as well that come with the blank sidebox. I will keep working at it. Thanks so much Kobra for your time!!

If you view this in IE you get the dreded red X - and the properties for it are:
http://www.mooncavecrystals.com/images/ssl.gif

Try or insure that this image is spelled correctly (caps count) and in your /images directory

can i start crying now? LOL

i dont even have a folder like that.....which makes sense why there is an X

How i usually upload is by going to my server.and logging on to unlimited ftp...clicking on public_html, then Shopping (which is where all my zen cart stuff is) then.....heck I dont know...i have uploaded the ssl.gif to every folder everywhere it says images....i may have to wave the white flag on this on......it is so simple and I am just not getting it at all. :cry:

:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap: I did it! Once I wrapped my brain around the entire folder it needed to go in......i even centered it :) thanks kobra for your patience and awesome help!!
