sunshynecraftsbeads Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hi Everyone, I just have a few questions and if anyone can help me or direct me to the correct area it would be greatly appreciated. 1. Is there a way that the " Feature Box " only appears on the main page ? 2. I have lost my " currency " is there somehow I can get that back ? 3. Put a small picture on the main page at the bottom right side without making a box ? 4. Is there a way that I could make boxes for the center of my page ( similiar to the featured products ) for pictures that are linked to other pages versus product information ? I am working with version 2.3.1. I have very little knowledge of html,php and other codes but I am a quick learner and I am willing to share what I have learnt whenever I can on the forum. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am keeping my eye on the posts and add ons in the hope of getting answers but so far no luck. Google doesn't seem to have the answers I need either. Thank you for your time. Tracie :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunshynecraftsbeads Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hello, Thank you kindly for responding to my message and helping with question #2. I'm sorry in re reading it I worded it wrong. I have the currency on my admin page but I can not get the currency box on my website so customers know what currency I take. Keep Smiling Tracie :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥14steve14 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Can you not add the missing box in admin. Log in to admin, go to modules - boxes - and click on install module. REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshynecraftsbeads Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Thanks Steve for responding but I am not looking to add the original module boxes. I would like to have 6 New boxes on the main page. Totally seperate from the original boxes. I have projects for my customers and would like to put a picture in the New box which would link to the project instructions. I have seen a lot of addons & contributions for boxes but they all seem to show you how to add to a existing box or make a new box for the right or left color. Thanks again for your input. It is greatly appreciated. Tracie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I think Steve was referring to your Currencies box. Are you trying to add these new boxes to the left or right column or to the center part of the page? What are these "projects" you want to link to? Are they categories, products, information pages, something else? The left and right columns are modular, but the center part of the page is not (unless you have the Modular Front Page Addon installed, but it sounds like you don't.)

sunshynecraftsbeads Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hi Jim, Thank you for your reply to my message. RE: Currency box. The currency box does appear on my admin side. I currently have it as true in my right column but if you look at my website it is not there. My Store I sell crystal beads and would like to add pages that have instructions on how to make jewelry. I would like the boxes in the middle (center) of the page ( similar to the feature boxes ) but I would like to have a picture (jpg) in the box that can be click on It will take them to the instruction page on how to make that particular piece of jewelry. The instruction pages are pdf format. Does that make sense? I know it can be done because I have gone through a lot of oscommerce websites on the store page and it is being done, I just can't find out how they did it. Any help suggestions or direction would be greatly appreciated. Tracie Version 2.3.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Check the sort order setting for your currency box in Admin >> Modules >> Boxes. The box may not appear if the sort order is the same as another box, or if it is zero. Otherwise I have no idea why it wouldn't show. Images with links to PDFs can certainly be done. There is no Addon that would do this that I am aware of. You will need to write some custom HTML to so this. The code will need to go in your catalog/index.php near the bottom, after these lines: <?php } else { // default page ?> Regards Jim See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

sunshynecraftsbeads Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Wow Jim you are awesome. Answering so quickly. Thank you, thank you, thank you. As far as the currency box I have changed sides and changed the sort orders with no luck. That's okay I am sure I will figure it out. I will play with some html codes ( I like to learn new things ) but can you tell me how to make the boxes in the center of my page or direct me to where I can find out how to make them ? Please advise at your earliest convience. Thank you in advance, Tracie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 This will make a basic box, like the New Products box: <h2>Box heading goes here</h2> <div class="contentText"> Box content goes here.... </div> Regards Jim See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

sunshynecraftsbeads Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hi Jim, Sorry to bother you again but could you please confirm that I am on the right path by adding the box code in the index file ? Thank you kindly, Tracie :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Yes, in the part of index.php that I mentioned above. You'll need to move it around to find the right place. Just after the snippet that I posted will place it at the top of the page. Regards Jim See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

sunshynecraftsbeads Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 I answered my own question. You were very clear in your instructions, just needed to slow down and re-read. :blush: Thank you Jim for all your help.
