blank sidebox

hello

i have 1.3.8a zencart.

and installed the blank sidebox MOD and when enabling the blank box

my whole site went blank! just all white blank pages.. nothing loads and no error messages.

anyone else experiencing this issue?

Yes, me too. I edited the file in Cpanel, then immediately tested the site, which went blank. I went back into Cpanel, removed the code I had just added to that contribution, which meant that my site was visible again. Scary stuff...

mthem2003,

How did you manage to get your Godaddy site seal to work? I have posted this questions elsewhere in the forum tonight. Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks.

hope this helps :)

Try using Clyde's Logo Sidebox. I've found it to be a good, solid module which I have cloned for use numerous times on my sites.

Good luck!

Hey, thank you both for your help. I managed to figure out what I was doing wrong with the Godaddy.php box...appears to be working now :cool:

How do you use the logo sidebox more than once? How do you rename it? I want to make sure I am doing it right before attempting it? I have several logos that I want to add. Is it possible to add more than one logo in a box? Please Advise. Thanks

I figured out the correct way to name each new logo box.

But I am having problems with my link working.

Can anyone tell me what I am missing? Please Advise. Thanks

look in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_logo_sidebox.php. You need to un-comment one area and comment out the other. just add or remove //

I'm not sure what you mean on what to take out and what to replace it with. I don't understand uncomment one and comment out the other.

I took out a few things and most of my website was gone.

I am just learning code.

What should it look like to show the link? and do I change anything to show the link in this code?

Can you tell me what I should wind up with.

Here is what I have and the link should be http://www.i-itc.org/

//// Link Option - uncomment this if you intend to use the logo as a link//$logoimage = '<a href="' . LOGO_SIDEBOX2_LINK . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE_TEXT) . '</a>';//comment this out if you use the above link option.$logoimage = zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX2_IMAGE_TEXT); $content = ''; $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '">'; $content .= $logoimage; $content .= '</div>';?>

I can do some code but I need to know what it needs to look like with the changes. Thanks for your help:unsure:
Please Advise. Thanks Betty

In php code, you can turn off a piece of code by placing these lines in front of it:

//
To do so is to comment out that line.

In includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_logo_sidebox.php find this line of code:

//$logoimage = '<a href="' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_LINK . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE,

You need to uncomment this line by removing this from the front of it:

//

Next, just below where you were working, find this line:

$logoimage = zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE,

You need to turn this line off, or comment it out. To do so, just place this in front of it:

//

Thant's it! Save and upload to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_logo_sidebox.php.

Thanks so much for taking the time to explain it to me, I appreciate it.

It worked perfectly. :clap:
