EZPages TOC Sidebox

I have placed in the Downloads a sidebox for the TOC on EZ-Pages ...

This will only show when on an EZ Page that is using the TOC and this allows you to turn off the TOC setting in the EZ-Pages Settings and the sidebox will show in either column so that the EZ-Pages do not need the TOC in the middle ...

Just installed the contribution and it works great.

However the link you provided leads to a different download.

the correct link is:

www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_52&products_id=863

Silly silly me ... and you wonder why they keep me in a small and tiny room by myself ... :lamo:

Ask for a Baseball & Bat. Three strikes and you're outta there! :laugh:

Thanks for the new Mod, should prove to be useful for all.

Thanks, Ajeh! Very nice!

You are most welcome ... glad that you like it ... :smile:

Absolutly PERFECT!!!

Great Add-on!!!

Hello.

I wonder how easy it would be to include the TOC in the EZPages sidebox?

So that when a page is selected it's TOC is displayed below it. Similar to how it looks when you select a category that has subcategories.

I've been looking at the code of ezpages_toc.phpto see if how it works, but as I'm a php newbie, I can't work out where the :chapterID comes from.

I'm having a slight problem with this mod and thought I would see if has come up before. The links all seem to be there but the text on the bottom half - including some categories and all the easy pages - only appears when you roll over it (and some doesn't appear then either).

Any ideas on what may have caused this? The link is www.plasticworks.ca/catalog

Thanks,

Graham

Hmm,

Seems like it may have timed out some how. Right after after I wrote the last message I tried again and go some more to show up. Then I removed the new products and specials links at the bottom (which were showing before) and now everything appears.

Still - if anyone has any ideas that would be great - I'd hate to have the problem come back if I add categories.

Hi - useful mod....many thanks..
I have a query with this - I have it working fine on a couple of "3-page chapters" - but on the third one it fails to show the pages 2 & 3 of the chapter...
I would add that there is no actual content in the pages 2 & 3 - just an internal link to different pages...
Is it a requirement to have content in the pages to trigger the TOC ?
Of course - I cannot have content and link at the same time - and the link is what I would like the ez-page to do....
Any thoughts ?

Have you given page 2 & 3 a sort for the TOC?

Is it an internal page? One that comes standard with Zen Cart, ie: Contact Us, Privacy Notice, etc. If it's a html page that you've uploaded to your server, that would be an external link.

TShooters:

Yes...

> Is it an internal page?Yes ....

3 x ezpages all set to same chapter number
Page 1 TOC = 1
Page 2 TOC = 2
Page 3 TOC = 3

One that comes standard with Zen Cart, ie: Contact Us, Privacy Notice, etc.None of these ezpages have any content - only used as internal links...
I did have it in mind to put some of the standard cart links from ezpage links - but this has made me rethink...

I can only get these pages to show if I create a link on an ezpage - which then of course takes me to the ezpage with that link - rather than direct to that link's target...
I am trying to achieve a "main" menu with ezpage sidebox - with "submenu" items only showing as and when necessary in the TOC sidebox - but this seems to be not possible...

If it's a html page that you've uploaded to your server, that would be an external link.All internal links to ezpages..

The TOC works on Pages, not on Links ...

Not a bad idea to incorporate something for those, but would have to give it some thought on navigation and placement to really work those in ...

For now, you could make a page with some text and the Link on it ...

Ajeh:

The TOC works on Pages, not on Links ...Yes - it took me a whle to work that out...:blink:

I can see this mod being very useful when creating extra pages - and keeping the navigation relevant to the location.
Of course this was possible without the mod - but being able to remove the "TOC Box" from the pages is a real big improvement.
> Not a bad idea to incorporate something for those, but would have to give it some thought on navigation and placement to really work those in ...Yes - I thought I had found the ideal way to have relevant sub-menus available only when the parent menu had been selected...
A simple menu / submenu like that is a great idea - and works really fine - if there is content in the destination linked (as you know...:D)
> For now, you could make a page with some text and the Link on it ...Yes - I did try that - but it sort of defeats the object ?- another layer just where you don't want it....
For now - I will just create the ezpage links and leave them in the normal ezpage sidebox (without TOC) - should be easy enough to adjust if it later becomes possible to have them work directly on a link...:D
Many Thanks for the reply - appreciate it...:smile:

thank you ajeh! this eliminates one of the few nagging presentation quality issues I have with my zen-cart sites. :clap:

Drove me nuts too ... :cool:

Think that was the quickest download/implemetation in ages hehe.
Another annoyance relieved, big thanks :)

That is the beauty of plug-n-play where copy and go works best ...

Any time something can be made without touching any of the core files and life will be easier ...

Glad you have this working smoothly ... :smile:
