DELETE MY ACCOUNT NOW Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 I am trying to add a new box in the right column. I have created a box called links.php with the following code: <?php /* $Id: information.php,v 1.6 2003/02/10 22:31:00 hpdl Exp $ osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions http://www.oscommerce.com Copyright (c) 2003 osCommerce Released under the GNU General Public License */ ?> <!-- information //--> <tr> <td> <?php $info_box_contents = array(); $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_LINKS); new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false); $info_box_contents = array(); $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<a href="http://thevampireslair.com" target="_blank">The Vampire's Lair</a><br>' . '<a href="http://trans-illusions.com" target="_blank">Transcendent Illusions</a><br>' . '<a href="http://www.cafepress.com/bluedrag" target="_blank">Vampire's Lair Gift Shop</a><br>' . '<a href="http://www.cafepress.com/duvessa_estate" target="_blank">Duvessa Estate Gift Shoppe</a><br>'); new infoBox($info_box_contents); ?> </td> </tr> <!-- information_eof //--> I edited column_right.php to read: if (substr(basename($PHP_SELF), 0, 8) != 'checkout') { include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'links.php'); include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'languages.php'); include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'currencies.php'); } ?> When I look at my store I see this at the top of the right column: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in /var/www/myservernamehere/catalog/includes/boxes/links.php on line 23 What am I doing wrong? Am I supposed to edit other files, or am I just doing the code wrong? I'm a newbie when it comes to PHP, so I'm figuring this out through trial & error. DELETE MY ACCOUNT NOW
OceanRanch Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 At line 23 or there abouts...... Vampire's should be Vampire\'s HTH Tom
DELETE MY ACCOUNT NOW Posted March 12, 2006 Author Posted March 12, 2006 That didn't fix it. BTW, I'm editing the files in Notepad, so how do I even know where line 23 is? Should I be using something else? DELETE MY ACCOUNT NOW
DELETE MY ACCOUNT NOW Posted March 12, 2006 Author Posted March 12, 2006 I also tried adding // links box text in includes/boxes/links.php define('BOX_HEADING_LINKS', 'Links'); to catalog/includes/languages/english.php, and that didn't help either I'm guessing there is some kind of error in the way I did links.php, and I have a feeling it's in the last line '<a href="http://www.cafepress.com/duvessa_estate" target="_blank">Duvessa Estate Gift Shoppe</a>'); but I could be wrong. Is it because the box doesn't contain any pages, just links? I know I can add links to an existing infobox, so I figured I could make an infobox with nothing but links. DELETE MY ACCOUNT NOW
