Help with New Infobox

[oscommercenewbie]

Hello!

I have created a new infobox. The box displays perfectly on the site. However, the contents display as blank. Nada, nothing. I am fairly certain it has to do with the array which should be text but I am unsure of how it is supposed to be written to work correctly.

 

Can someone revise the code of this box so it works - so I can use it as a sample to go by later?

new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

 

$info_box_contents = '<p align="left" style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">

new infoBox($info_box_contents);

Its an array so treat it like one:

from this:

$info_box_contents = '<p

 

to this:

$info_box_contents[] = '<p

Hi Enigma1,

That didnt work. it just showed << as the text. Any other ideas? Can someone show me an example of what a box with text looks like?

well I was refering using the info_box_contents as an array. The html has errors. There is a 2nd paragraph terminator but just one paragraph and maybe other things. Replace the html with a simple string so at least you know it works then add your html code and work on it.

Okay, Enigma. I changed the link.

 

What else should I change?

instead of this:

$info_box_contents = '<p><a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</a></p>

 

try these lines

    $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'center',
                                'text' => 'Box Line-1<br>Box Line-2<br>Box Line-3<br>');

then correct your html code and replace the contents of field 'text' of the arrray

you may also want to clear the info box contents before you add the yahoo text with

$info_box_contents = array();

For reference I would look in the includes\boxes directory any of those files create boxes. Just compare and see whats missing.
