Banner causing page misalignment

[LisaT]

I installed the Xmas greeting banner extension and found that it has forced my main content down the page and has made my other infoboxes too wide - all in all, the page is now a mess!

I can't figure-out what's causing this to happen.

I have STS installed and have added

 

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'xmasbox.php');

 

into column_left.php

 

when I remove the above line of code, the page goes back to normal

 

Any ideas??

Forgot to mention - you can see the problem atGet the Gift

seems there are additional table elements terminators near the end of your whatsnew/gifts boxes. See your html source

HI Mark,

 

Within column_left.php this is the relevant piece of code:

// STS: ADD
 $sts_block_name = 'categorybox';
 require(STS_RESTART_CAPTURE);
 // STS: EOADD

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

 // STS: ADD
 $sts_block_name = 'manufacturerbox';
 require(STS_RESTART_CAPTURE);
 // STS: EOADD
 require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'xmasbox.php');
 require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'whats_new.php');

 // STS: ADD
 $sts_block_name = 'whatsnewbox';
 require(STS_RESTART_CAPTURE);
 // STS: EOADD

I don't see any HTML in here. Am I therefore looking at the wrong file?

[Guest]

yes the files of interest are

'xmasbox.php'

'whats_new.php'

 

In there make sure there are no additional or missing table elements. And you can see the html source of the page. Go to your page then on your browser click View->Source. Then search for xmas to see how the html output is shown for xmas box. Here I was seeing extra table terminators.

Hi Mark,

 

Thanks for your help. This problem really had me stumped as I am quite new to OSc. I came across the solution by accident - I merely moved the code

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'xmasbox.php');

underneath the code for the order_history_box in column_left.php

I noticed that the code for the xmas box was appearing in the middle of the code for the whats new box
