How do I add a "sign in" box?

[francellasboutique]

I'd like to have a box in the right column underneath the "shopping cart" box. I want the box to have 2 text fields for the customer to enter their email addy and password, and then a "sign in" button underneath. Can anyone direct me in what I should do? Also, if I can get this done, I'd like to remove the "Welcome guest! would you like to sign in...." text. Can't find the file to do this :blink:

 

thanks in advance!

backup everyhting up before beginning!!!

 

the text is in /includes/languages/english.php i think.... if not it'll be inthe english subfolder

 

to create new box (there may be a bit more to it than this)

 

firstly edit includes/column_right.php and copy an existing simple box to be

at the correct location renaming it sensibly of course... you then need to go to includes/boxes and duplicate a box there and rename it to match the column_right.php entry

 

i think that you may need to add the filename placeholder from column_right.php & link in includes/filenames.php... you'll also have to add the text placeholder which is probably done in includes/languages/english/boxes/my_new_box_name.php or possibly in includes/languages/english.php

 

 

if you then have your new box correct labelled and located on the page you could then begin editing the box contents... a good start would be to try and copy the current login.php fields into your box and see what happens....

ok look in (catalog)/includes/language/english

 

define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome <span class="greetUser">Guest!</span> Would you like to <a href="%s"><u>log yourself in</u></a>? Or would you prefer to <a href="%s"><u>create an account</u></a>?');

He mtechama,

:D

Would you happen to know the answer to this situation, or can point me in the right direction??

 

I've been going crazy! Can't seem to separate Category Heading Image from Sub-Category heading Image. Eveytime I set an image for the sub-category heading, it replaces the image I used for the category!

:'(

In other words, I would like to have a separate heading image for each category, sub-category and sub-sub category:

 

1. Category: Kitchen Suites (image #1)

a) Sub-category: Sinks (image #2)

Sub-sub-category:

i.)Single-Well (image #3)

ii.) Double- Well (image #4)

 

It keeps carrying over the heading image I place for the sub headings and replacing the original image heading in #1!!!!

>_<

Is this possible? How can I do that????

 

:thumbsup:

Thanks so much!

That is a good question, But I really don't know the answer to that. becuase I have never done that to my web site. But if you be really patient some will help you on that.
