If I remember correctly you will need to assign a value for the box in the sts_ display_output.php file. Add this line:

$template['loginbox'] = strip_unwanted_tags($sts_block['loginbox'], 'loginbox');

 

under where is says create custom boxes (around line 225 )

I am not sure if I had to change anything else or not so if that does not work you might just look through the sts files and see where else the other box values are listed.

Moving it is the easy part since you are using sts. Go into your sts_template.html page and move the $loginbox to the other side. I believe I had the same problem with the box being too wide and I am pretty sure I fixed it by changing the width of the fields. If you look at the follow code I have the field size set to 16 which is what I think solve the problem. Try that and if it does not work I can send you the whole loginbox.php file.

 

<tr>

<td align=\"left\" class=\"main\">

<input type=\"text\" name=\"email_address\" maxlength=\"96\" size=\"16\" value=\"\">

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td align=\"left\" class=\"main\">

" . BOX_LOGINBOX_PASSWORD . "

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td align=\"left\" class=\"main\">

<input type=\"password\" name=\"password\" maxlength=\"40\" size=\"16\" value=\"\"

</td>

</tr>

there is no $loginbox thing in my sts template html file. The login box just shows up by itself.

Put the $loginbox somewhere in your sts_template.html file and see if it shows up where you want it to. Then you can remove the one you do not want.

You must have added the code somewhere when you installed the contribution for it to be showing up. column_left.php maybe?? Go back through your install and remove the part that makes it show up so the only place it will be is where you have $loginbox in your sts_template.html file.

still no luck. I made sure that the loginbox was only added to the columnright. It still shows in the left

In your column file

Try changing this

 

// BOF: WebMakers Added: Login Box My Account

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'loginbox.php');

// EOF: WebMakers Added: Login Box My Account

 

to this

 

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'loginbox.php');

 

// STS: ADD

$sts_block_name = 'loginbox';

require(STS_RESTART_CAPTURE);

// STS: EOADD

 

in your sts_display_output file I think you already have this under create custom boxes at or about line 229

 

$template['loginbox'] = strip_unwanted_tags($sts_block['loginbox'], 'loginbox')

 

You should also add at around line 310 in one of the columns

 

echo $sts_block['loginbox'];

 

Looking at the files I think that is everything I did to get it working

[dan182skater]

That is how it already was
