Moving to template editing

I have an overlapping problem (?) on my right side bar.

[skin1/customer/home.tpl] When I created my ⌠guarantee■ & ⌠security■ menu boxes I placed them above the authentication box and news box. Unfortunately, the latter two disappeared and a three inch tall white space appeared at the bottom. When I placed the guarantee and security menu boxes below the authentication box the authentication appeared.

Will you kindly help me? Where am I making a mistake? Is this a CSS problem; if so, what code do I modify?

can you try making some basic boxes, with jut some text in for now, to see if it's the script(s) inside them or the boxes themselves

Your suggestion was interesting. I made four menu boxes with text and my authentication menu appeared. The news menu remained hidden. Accordingly, I must deduce the problem is with the scripts within the boxes not in the menu boxes themselves. I would have never guessed this outcome.

Unfortunately, now I▓m lost. The script I used comes directly from my SSL source and from the rating business bureau. I have no idea what to try next. Any ideas?

Chris

[amy2203]

so you had:

news, authentication, text only box, text only box, text only box, text only box,

and news was still hidden?

that sounds like maybe you've moved it inside an if statement that is hiding it.

can you post just this bit of your home.tpl, just the section with all the text only boxes,

first step is to get all the boxes appearing, then you can look at the code, ask your ssl source and the business bureau if they have anything else not a script maybe, just image and text you can use?

skin1/customer/home.tpl

<div id="right-bar">

{/if}


{if $active_modules.Feature_Comparison && $comparison_products ne ''}

I take it your news file is definatly in
customer/news.tpl

[gb2world]

If you are trying to insert javascript - be aware that some of the javascript syntax will be interpreted by smarty - so you have to tell the smarty to ignore your javascript by surrounding it with {literal} and {/literal}

[SCUBA1609]

I removed an extra </div> from skin1/modules /yoursecurity.tpl.

At the same time I inserted the {literal} immediately after {capture name=menu}
And {/literal} just prior to {/capture}

The authentication menu is now visible but not News Menu

Next I eliminated all menus except for News. News did not appear. Accordingly, either there is an on/off switch inside X-Cart or there is a problem with news.tpl. (I hope) I have never modified the news.tpl file, it should work.

if $active_modules.News_Management}
{insert name="gate" func="news_exist" assign="is_news_exist" lngcode=$shop_language}

{if $is_news_exist}

{capture name=menu}

<div class="news item">
{include file="today_news.tpl"}
</div>

{insert name="gate" func="news_subscription_allowed" assign="is_subscription_allowed" lngcode=$shop_language}

{if $is_subscription_allowed}
<div class="subscribe item">

<form action="news.php" name="subscribeform" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="subscribe_lng" value="{$store_language|escape}" />

{$lng.lbl_your_email}<br />
<input type="text" name="newsemail" size="16" /><br />

{if $active_modules.Image_Verification && $show_antibot.on_news_panel eq 'Y'}
{include file="modules/Image_Verification/spambot_arrest.tpl" mode="simple_column" id=$antibot_sections.on_news_panel}
{/if}

<div class="button-row center">
{include file="customer/buttons/subscribe_menu.tpl" style="button" type="input" additional_button_class="menu-button"}
</div>

</form>
</div>
{/if}

{/capture}
{include file="customer/menu_dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_news content=$smarty.capture.menu additional_class="menu-news"}

{/if}
{/if}
