Category Box placement

[ashna]

Hi there,

 

Anyone knows how to get the category box to the right column. I did a install a week ago it was on the left.

 

I did a reinstall today, it is appearing in the right hand column, any ideas on how to get it on the left column.

Easy. Cut and paste the relavant bit of code from colomn right.php to column left.php.

 

Job done

What I dont understand is how it went from left to right in the first place. I did not make any change to the code.

 

Also i am not a expert in going through the code, so not sure part of the need needs to go.

[Winterchild]

this is the code:

 

 if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {
   echo tep_cache_categories_box();
 } else {
   include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'categories.php');
 }

[ashna]

this is the code:

 

 if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {
   echo tep_cache_categories_box();
 } else {
   include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'categories.php');
 }

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

And where this code will go.

 

my current store is at this location just installed

www.ashnacreations.com/catalog/

 

have a look and tell me where i put this code.

Go to catalog/includes/column_right.php

 

Find the code and comment out

 

Go to catalog/includes/column_left.php

 

Paste the code

Can you find something wrong with the code.

 

Please have a look

[Winterchild]

I can't find anything wrong (at least not with the positions of the boxes)

 

I pasted the code in my own site and it works fine.

 

You're sure this is the actual code your site uses?

[ashna]

yes,

 

it got fixed when i reloaded these files from the original code, i think there was something wrong with the register_global fix
