I want to create a new infobox for the right column, but I only want it to display on the first page (index). How would I do this???

enter the following code into catalog/includes/colum_right.php where you want the box to appear.

change forum.php to the name of your infobox. Make sure the infobox is in the catalog/includes/boxes directory!!

 

  if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'])) {
  } else {
 if (isset($cPath) && tep_not_null($cPath)) {
  } else {
	include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'forum.php');
  }
  }

 

Basically this code says

 

  if (page is viewing a product) {
  (do nothing)} else {
 if (page is viewing a category) {
  (do nothing)}  else {
 (display index box)} 
  }
  }

Hi.

 

I had the same sort of query recently, and cudd1es was good enough to sort it out for me.

 

To get a full gist of the fix, have a look at the thread at

Hope this helps.

The code Matthew posted is what you are looking for. Just add it to the column_right.php file and you should be good to go.

Thanks Matt. That is exactly what I was looking for. Just a simple box being displayed on index page is all I needed.

 

Thanks again....
