I did that. Unfortunately nothing seemed to make a difference. Any other ideas?

Hi there, sorry to hear you are having problems.

 

With STS, you need to add the $boxname tag where you want the infobox to appear. The included documentation will describe the issue of how each tag will interact with other tags. For example, the $specialprice tag will not show if it has not been defined in the oscommerce admin. Also, the $bestsellersbox will show the bestsellers box if no product ID is ont the page or if a customer is loggedin and has asked to receive noiticaitons for all products, otherwise, it will show the notification box. You would not want to use the $bestsellersbox tag in tandem with the $notificationbox tag because you could end up with two of the same boxes on your page.

 

This goes for other tags that are dynamically dependent upon the user and the page being displayed. I provided morre information in the STS documentation.

 

Nice site by the way! :thumbsup:

I don't know whether there are something about this issue but I fixed it by edit includes\modules\sts_column_left.php

find

$sts->template['bestsellersbox']=$sts->template['notificationbox']; // Otherwise select notification box

replace with

$sts->template['notificationbox']=$sts->template['notificationbox']; // Otherwise select notification box

 

find

$sts->template['specialfriendbox']=$sts->template['tellafriendbox']; // Shows specials or tell a friend

replace with

$sts->template['tellafriendbox']=$sts->template['tellafriendbox']; // Shows specials or tell a friend

 

I fixed the problem just do these.
