Basic Box Question

[tyrant]

folks... i been trying to follow this guide

http://www.oscommerce.info/kb/osCommerce/C...g_Area/Boxes/66

 

Can anyone explain in numpty terms. how i go about creating a box on the right side called "Join Our Forum" that has in it an IMG button that they can click to take them to the forum?

 

I spent a while trying to edit boxes and stuff... but just keep messing up my site :D

 

Big Kiss for first reply :P :blush:

Create a new box file

<!-- image_box //-->
<tr>
<td>
<?php
$info_box_contents = array();
$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_FORUM);

new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

$info_box_contents = array();
$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_FORUM) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'your_image_to_display_here.gif') . '</a>' );

new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- image_box_eof //-->

then add it to your catalog/includes/column_right.php so it will appear on the right side of your store. Change the links to your forum file, image and definition strings.
