How do I make a new Sidebox with just links

Is there an easy way to make a new sidebox with just HTML links in them. I want to make a sidebox specific for "Menus" and then three HTML Links that point to PDF files on my server. "Frozen Entrees" "Catering" and "Lunch Boxes"

Thanks

Bob

Re: How do I make a new Sidebox with just links

Have you considered using EZ-pages? Both sites in my sig use them. On Fan Odyssey, it's the box labeled "Past Events". On the Holzheimer site, it's the "Important Links" box.

Thanks Mary Ellen for the quick response. I did make my page in E-Z pages like you suggested but I can't figure out how to get it to show up in the list of files in the LAYOUT BOX CONTROLLER in admin.

Thanks again

Re: How do I make a new Sidebox with just links

sideboxes/ezpages.php is the last item on the list in tools->layout boxes controller.

Also look in admin->configuration->EZ-Pages settings.

Thanks Mary Ellen, I found ezpages.php but when I turn it to ON it still doesn't show up. Any other tips I would appreciate.

Thanks

Re: How do I make a new Sidebox with just links

In admin->configuration->EZ-Pages settings, what do you have for

  1. EZ-Pages Display Status - HeaderBar
  2. EZ-Pages Display Status - FooterBar
  3. EZ-Pages Display Status - Sidebox

Re: How do I make a new Sidebox with just links

I don't have an "EZ-Pages Settings" under Admin but I do have an EZ Pages menu option under tools and here are the settings:

Header is RED
Footer is RED
Sidebox is GREEN and order # 18

Thanks for your patience

Re: How do I make a new Sidebox with just links

What version of Zen Cart are you running? EZ-Pages settings should be the last item on the admin->configuration section.
