[roku]

I made a new info box and what i am tring to do is insert an image with a url outside of oscommerce into it. I have been tring with no luck now for a few days as i am a poor php writer.

Could someone give me a little advice on this matter, please.

Create a php file with the following code, replacing your information in (img)/(lnk). Where it says "BOX_HEADING_BOXNAMEHERE" replace "BOXNAMEHERE" with your new box name. (You can open one of your other box php files, but make sure you rename it before saving or you will lose your old box)

<?php
/*
 $Id: information.php,v 1.6 2003/02/10 22:31:00 hpdl Exp $

?>
<!-- information //-->
         <tr>
           <td>
<?php
 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_BOXNAMEHERE);
 new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<a href=http://www.YOURLINKHERE.com target=_blank><img border="0" src=YOURIMAGEHERE></a>');

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

 

 

 

Then place the named php file in catalog/includes/boxes.

 

Then in catalog/includes/languages/english.php, place a command of

define('BOX_HEADING_BOXNAMEHERE', 'Box Name Here');

neer the other define('BOX_HEADING_XXXXXXX', 'XXXXXXXX');

commands. Once again replacing "BOXNAMEHERE" and "Box Name Here" with your box names.

 

 

Then in catalog/includes/column_right.php (or left) place the following command where you want the box to go.

  require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'newboxfile.php');
