Adding a new box ( Help Required )

jackgilbert · February 26, 2006

I have had a go at attempting to create a new box. Inside this new box i wanted a flash file. I have uploaded the flash file into my server. I then opened up notepad and tpyed in the following to add a new box:

<?php

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

new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

$info_box_contents = array();
$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => 
'<object id="music2" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" height="100" width="100" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000">
<param value="music2.swf" name="movie">
<param value="false" name="loop">
<param value="best" name="quality">
<param value="#6699CC" name="bgcolor"></object>');

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

I wanted my new box to be called: Welcome Speech.

After i did this i uploaded this welcome_speech.php to my server under catalog/includes/boxes

I then edited the left_column.php file and added in my new box "welcome_speech"

Here is my left_column.php file:

I then uploaded this to its original directory.

I then type in my store URL ( www.tignesinteriors.swsfreeserver.com/store ) and i notice that the new box which i have just created is not appearing. Can anyone help me please? Is it something i need to type in any other files. If so Please reply back A.S.A.P

Thanks,

Jack

Well from the cod eit is very clear that your site uses STS template.

So you need to mopdify display page also.

How do i modify the display page? Please can you give me instructions as simple as possible and maybe if its possible can you post a code for the display page or tell me what to do and where to locate the display page.

Thanks in advance,

Jack.

HI,

Where you want to add the display box.In the left column or the right column or in the center.

You can expect reply if you are some what specific.

If left column go to includes/column_left.php and add include(>>>) see how includes is done for categories.

Now you take a code from either categorie.php or any ither file and modify the code and place it at proper place.
