take a look at /includes/column_right.php file

you could add html directly in there, or add a separate file in the includes/boxes/ directory.

Thanks for your reply.

 

I don't know a lot about working with .php code, exactly where could I insert the code without effecting the php? Actually, what I am trying to do is add a SSL site seal and it is in javascript. I just want to add it somewhere on the pages and I thought one of the columns would be a good spot.

do you have a url ?

what is the last box on the right that you are displaying ? review ? currencies ? languages ?

 

It's also a good idea to put your seal on your checkout_payment pages.

Yes, it is: http://accuflex.ca/shopping/catalog/index.php

 

languages is the last box on the right.

 

I really appreciate the help.

ok cool.

looks good.

It would look a lot better if it were inside a box the same as the ones above it.

good start though.

Hi Pauline - it's very easy. Just create one new file for the box, and add this box to the column_right.php file and it's like this :

http://cranberrycorners.ca/purchase3/

 

 

 

1. Start a new file and name it seal.php.

Put this code in seal.php, be sure to Save it under : /includes/boxes/seal.php

<?php 
// seal file
?>
<tr><td>
<?php
 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => ' ');

 new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, true);

 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'center',
						'text' => '<script language="Javascript" src="https://seal.starfieldtech.com/getSeal?sealID=1555717984028dbcae31271104e5ff12b17f6705370205070344397184"></script>');

new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>
</td></tr>

 

Then - at the bottom of the /includes/column_right.php file, simply call this new file using a require statement like this :

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'seal.php');

 

 

That's it. Done.

Now you have a stand alone module for the entire seal box, which can be used consistently anywhere throughout your application.

 

If you want the box to have a heading like This Site is Secure! or whatever, then all you have to do is change the line like this :

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => ' ');

to this :

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => 'This Site is Secure! ');

or you could also make another text definition in your /includes/languages/english.php file like this :

define('BOX_HEADING_SECURE', 'This site is secure!');

then change the line in your seal.php to read like this :

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' =>BOX_HEADING_SECURE);

 

Notice how you do not put the single quotes into the array inside seal.php if you are using defined language.

 

hth, david
