X-Cart forums - Adding HTML Boxes on Main Page

To give you an idea of some of the options already available, for some consistency, create a new .tpl inside the skin1/customer/ folder and call it something like, mycustombox.tpl

open up your newly created file (mycustombox.tpl) and add this inside it...

Code:

{capture name=mycustomdialog}

I'm a dialog box!!

{/capture}

{include file="dialog.tpl" title="A Custom Dialog Box" content=$smarty.capture.mycustomdialog extra='width="100%"'}



<br />



{capture name=mycustommenu}

I'm a menu box!!

{/capture}

{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="xlogo.gif" menu_title="A Custom Menu Box" menu_content=$smarty.capture.mycustommenu cellpadding=$fc_cellpadding}



<br />

Then open up skin1/customer/home.tpl and locate one of the following TDs and place {include file="customer/mycustombox.tpl"} underneath them.

<td valign="top" width="100%"> (add include below this code for your main content)


or

<td class="VertMenuLeftColumn"> (add include below this part for your left column)

or

<td class="VertMenuRightColumn"> (add include below this part for your right column)

If nothing shows up use cleanup.php to clean the cache.

Hope this helps.
