Not all sideboxes showing up

Hi,

I have exhaustively searched and read through these forums, but I don't know how to fix my problem. I have 5 sideboxes that I have set to show up in my left column. Here's a link to MY STORE Only 3 of the 5 are showing up. This is what the Layout Boxes Controller looks like:

sideboxes/rmmb/manufacturers.php ON LEFT 5 20 OFF
sideboxes/rmmb/whats_new.php ON LEFT 20 0 OFF
sideboxes/rmmb/categories.php ON LEFT 30 10 OFF
sideboxes/rmmb/search.php ON LEFT 50 0 OFF
sideboxes/rmmb/specials.php ON LEFT 60 0 OFF

Why can't i see the other 2?

And the other question is: why does the search field show HEADER_SEACRH_DEFAULT_.... and the search button says "HEADER..."

Argh! Please help!! :shocking: Thanks in advance... FYI - I am a newbie to the whole coding thing, so please be gentle :)

Re: Not all sideboxes showing up

Some sideboxes are designed to show only if they have information in them - others only show on certain pages.

Whenever you see WORDS_IN_CAPS it means you have missed uploading the language file that defines that constant.

Re: Not all sideboxes showing up

Kim - thanks for replying -

Makes sense about the empty sideboxes - I filled in the specials sidebox and it showed up, but I can't get the manufacturers sidebox to show up even though it has 1 manufacturer in it already...

As far as your second answer I am not sure where to look for this language file - can you give me an idea? Thanks :)

Re: Not all sideboxes showing up

Compare the missing language file with your default language files.

If you are missing a HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT then take it from your english folder and translate the viewable text and then place into your language folder(s) in the correct place.

I use a Translator Widget on my Mac. So far no one has been offended.

Re: Not all sideboxes showing up

I fixed it! It was a matter of uncommenting these lines from includes/languages/english/header.php:

define('HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON','Search');
define('HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT', 'Enter search keywords here');

Thanks for all the help!

The manufacturers box started showing up, too but I don't remember what I did to fix it :laugh:
