How to change look of one side column menu box
 

I need one right side menu to look different from all of the others. Can I do that using css with an ID tag in home.tpl

Or should I just create a separte template altogether and include it in home.tpl

copy menu.tpl and call it menu_right.tpl

then look at the bottom of the file that calls the new menu_right.tpl and change the call to menu.tpl

Shan you lost me here.
do you mean in home.tpl? what file that calls the new menu_right.tpl??

if for example you want the news box to be unique find this bit



and change menu.tpl to the menu2.tpl

then make a copy of menu.tpl call it menu2.tpl and edit to suit your needs

Now I understand. It makes sense now.

Everything about X-cart is so intuitive. Just like a labarynth


Thanks Shan.

I got that working using the menu_right.tpl. Thanks.

BUT

Now the differently styled box is only appearing on home page and on the single product pages.

If I browse to a category page the box dissapears.

Was there something I missed. I can't figure you what is changing on the category pages.
