Sidebox on outside HTML or TPL page?

I know there is a mod for sideboxes on an outside PHP page. But I'm wondering if you can add sideboxes to an outside html or .tpl page?

I want to add some sideboxes to my blog (which is hosted on blogger) and also to my phpbb forum.

Is it possible to do this?

Cannot see a problem with what you want to do. Just a matter of using regular HTML Link code.

And how would I do that? I wouldn't know where to start.

Learning how to code in HTML or any other Language is something we need to learn on our own. :wink:

I do know quite a bit of html coding, but to code something like this is a bit out of my league.

I was hoping there is a mod or instructions out there for this, or if anyone else has done it, if they could share how they did it.

If I understand correctly, all you are wanting to do is put a Zen Cart link on some other page. If that is true you would just load the Zen Cart page(s) into your Browser, copy the URL -- without the "zenid" number -- then paste that URL using HTML link code, into wherever you want.

No, I'm wanting to put some of the Sideboxes on another page (which are html pages....ie: Blogger).

If you are not sure about coding a Sidebox yourself then you might want to check the Downloads section for a module called: Sidebox Anywhere.

If that doesn't help then you might want to post in the Commercial Section of the Forum and get someone to do the coding for you.

Yes, I am aware of that, but Sidebox Anywhere is for a PHP page. I'm looking to put it on an html page.

Re: Sidebox on outside HTML or TPL page?

I've not seen any HTML-based server-side-include contributions to do that.
You could ask your hosting company to change how .html files are processed to make them all run through the PHP engine, and then call the PHP file from inside the HTML file. But, unless you're on your own dedicated server I doubt they'll do that for you.
