includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/contact_sidebox_defines.php

For Dutch just copy the file to:

includes/langages/dutch/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/contact_sidebox_defines.php

NB: most of the information as you will see comes from the information in
admin -> configuration -> my store.

Thank you very much!

Hello,

I have installed your contact info box, and it does not display the header correctly, instead of showing "contact info" it shows "BOX_HEADING_CONTACT_SIDEBOX". How do I correct that so it shows "contact info"? Thank you

Sounds like you've missed uploading the language file.

make sure ALL the following folders and files have been uploaded to your server.

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/contact_sidebox_defines.php
includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/contact_sidebox.php
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_contact_sidebox.php

Thank you! I just checked the folder, I was missing the language one. I had uploaded the language file to the wrong folder. :oops:

Can you be a bit more specific on how I would add info to the box that's not in the store config file?
Thanks for the add-on.

I'm not sure I completely understand your issue.

The sidebox displays as expected when viewing you site.

Hi .. I would like to know how to change the time for the date .. at 6.18am on a Monday morning the date reads Sunday.

Where does it read the time from? Site is: http://www.rosedakinjewellery.com.au/index.php?main_page=index

If your server is located in the US then that is where the date is being picked up.

Hi .. actually I think my server is in Australia .. Sydney but I will contact them to make sure. Thanks:D

You might also want to check includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php

around line 22 you'll find this line of code:

@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.ISO_8859-1');

you can change it to read:

@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_AU.ISO_8859-1');

Hi .. changed that setting but it made no difference. Have contacted servers and am waiting for a response. Thanks

On the sidebox I made some changes. I put an image of a phone so when you click it it goes straight to the contact page.

define('CONTACT_STORE', nl2br(STORE_NAME_ADDRESS) .'<br /><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, '', 'SSL') . '"><img src="/images/contact_us.jpg"></a>');

Since the actual contact page has the address and phone. How can I remove the time and address code from the sidebox as all I want is the image of the phone clickeable which I already did? I tired it but it totally screwed up. TIA!

Again, great work from clyde.

You'll need to make the following edits:

define('CONTACT_STORE', '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, '', 'SSL') . '">E-Mail Us</a>');
define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT_BOX', ''); // this is used for strftime()

Thanks and I did that exactly. Double checked. When I go to the store it is just a blank white page. Which was the same issue I was having when I tried to change things myself.

define('BOX_HEADING_CONTACT_SIDEBOX', 'Contact Info');
define('CONTACT_STORE','<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, '', 'SSL') . '"><img src="/images/contact_us.jpg"></a>');
define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT_BOX',"); // this is used for strftime()
