adding new infoboxes

Hi,

 

I want to add a new infobox that contains some more content such as about us, links etc. I want this at the right hand side. I've created all the pages and they are all sitting nicely in the information box.

 

I have tried to put them in a new infobox with the following steps but nothing is appearing. Can anyone let me know what I've forgotten to do. I'm sure it's something very simple. Here are the steps.

 

Included the line include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'mybox.php'); in catalog>includes>column_right.php

 

I've created a new infobox, mybox.php in catalog>includes>boxes based on the information.php template this is as follows

 

$boxHeading = BOX_HEADING_MYBOX;

$corner_left = 'square';

$corner_right = 'square';

$box_base_name = 'mybox'; // for easy unique box template setup (added BTSv1.2)

 

$box_id = $box_base_name . 'Box'; // for CSS styling paulm (editted BTSv1.2)

?>

 

<?php

 

$boxContent = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_LINKS) . '"> ' . BOX_MYBOX_LINKS . '</a><br>' .;

 

include (bts_select('boxes', $box_base_name)); // BTS 1.5

 

?>

 

I've then included this line in includes>language>english.php

 

define('BOX_HEADING_MYBOX', 'Mybox);

define('BOX_MYBOX_LINKS', 'Links);

 

 

Nothing appears and no errors. Any idea what I'm missing. I've done a search through my website files on my harddrive to identify what files I need to add something in when adding an info box and nothing.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Kind regards

Add the files to includes/filenames.php

 

Also, check your error_log in the /catalog/ directory. It probably has your answer. :)

BACKUP your current files before editing. Did I mention to BACKUP your current files, first?
