Problems Adding Boxes

[CTre]

I've tried this page

http://www.oscommerce.info/kb/osCommerce/C...g_Area/Boxes/66

 

but I'm having no luck adding boxes. Can anybody assist?

[MSP]

what is not working correctly?

[CTre]

I'm doing everything at that help site but no new boxes are showing up.

I'm even commenting languages and currencies boxes to remove them and I can't even do that.

 

Here is my store http://www.yourhoodgear.com/store

[MSP]

it sounds like the files are not being uploaded properly? how are you uploading the altered files?

[CTre]

Here is my column_left.php file in /includes The help_section box is what I'm trying to add.. I really dont even want manufactuers either.. But I can't find a way to remove it.

Thanks

to remove that change it to the folowing:

 if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {

# if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {

 require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'search.php');
 require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'information.php');
?>

now the question is if help_section.php is cached.

else you shoud make the help_section:

#  if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {
#	echo tep_cache_help_section_box();
#  } else {
include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'help_section.php');
#  }

 

if it still does not show, then you should look either if it is uploaded correctly or if the help_section.php generates any output. If the manufacturers box is gone, then this file is uploaded correctly, if the help_section does not show then, you should look at the help_section.php.

I do not have a file called help_section.php in the includes/boxes directory.

If is does not show, try posting the code form that file here

I changed it to the above code and the manufacturer box is still there, and no sign of the help section.. ARR!

[jdvb]

then do look at the ftp, perhaps delete the file alltogether.

see that it went missing (error online)

then re-upload it and see if the manufacturers box is still there.

thanks! you helped me figure out my problem..

 

all the boxes are in my header.php

 

and column_left.php and column_right.php dont even really matter.. When I deleted them I didn't get a error.. the site stayed the same..so I was like... :o

 

Now I'ma try to add a box to the header.php in the spot where the manufactuer box is..

 

thanks for the help
