haha, ok
Well if I log into the PhpAdmin and find the table where would i the constants.. and what would I replace them with
do i have to find new constants or just re use the old ones?
This database stuff really confuses me.

[kymation]

The constants always begin with MODULE_, so if you plug MODULE_% into the Search box next to configuration_key you should get a complete list. Then you'll need to search through that list and remove duplicates, or just remove them all. Removing all of them will uninstall all of your boxes, so that should be a last resort.

You could also search for each of the constants that you used in your module and remove them individually, or remove duplicates. That may work, depending on just what the problem is with your code. Of course you need to fix that problem before you try to install it again.

Hi Jim,

I dont think blairh is having a problem with the template. I have this thread

http://forums.oscommerce.com/topic/368597-new-231-infobox/

which details more of the problems encountered converting the 'Year Make Model' contribution to 2.3.1

If you could offer any help then I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Mark

Jim why don't you add this to the Community Add-Ons for a paypal logo or ssl and I bet you become God over night.

[kymation]

It's not really worthy of an Addon. More like something for Tips and Tricks. I'll write it up there when I have time. And finish my series on osC 2.3.1 while I'm at it.

Not getting any error messages... just no title or sort order, and the new module won't display on my site.

maybe this is the issue:

function bm_search

rename it correctly

Iv got a big issue..
after following the steps my boxes strarted to uninstall themselfs.. NO JOKES!!!
now i cant re add catergories or best seller

these are the errors that are displayed
Warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or object in /home/automodi/public_html/shop/blair1/modules.php on line 227

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /home/automodi/public_html/shop/blair1/modules.php on line 228

Iv even removed the newly installed boxes and the issue stays the same

Any help would be amazing

That happened to me as well. I don't remember what I did. I just know that when the first one disappeared I went to my last db back-up right away, and was really careful the next time around when adding a box. Talk about a heart-stopper...I was glad I made a back-up right before I tried the new box install.

Anyone wanting to know how to add an image to a box, here is an example with correct $data;

You do not need to add an extra div class of img. Unless that is doing something else such as centering the image or such.

$data = '<div class="ui-widget infoBoxContainer">' .
              '  <div class="ui-widget-header infoBoxHeading">' . MODULE_BOXES_IMAGE_BOX_TITLE . '</div>' .
              '  <div class="ui-widget-content infoBoxContents">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'paypal.gif', 'We accept Paypal') .
              '  </div>' .
              '</div>';

              '  </div>' .
              '</div>';

Burt I decided to give yours a go and see what happened. Installed box ok. Tried several ways for the Image.
When I tried yours.
Box title and we accept paypal shows- no image and no errors

$data = '<div class="ui-widget infoBoxContainer">' .
' <div class="ui-widget-header infoBoxHeading">' . MODULE_BOXES_PAYPAL_ACCEPTED_BOX_TITLE . '</div>' .
' <div class="ui-widget-content infoBoxContents">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . '/xxx/images/paypal_accepted.JPG', 'We accept Paypal') .
' </div>' .
'</div>';

This one produces image only:

$data = '<div class="img"><img src="http://xxx.com/xxx/images/paypal_accepted.JPG"></div>';

This one I thought I would have a little fun and try one my self.
It removes footer and places it in right column.

$data = '<div class="ui-widget infoBoxContainer">' .
' <div class="ui-widget-header infoBoxHeading">' . MODULE_BOXES_PAYPAL_ACCEPTED_BOX_TITLE . '</div>' .
' <div class="ui-widget-content infoBoxContents">' .
'<div class="img"><img src="http://xxx.com/xxx/images/paypal_accepted.JPG"></div>';
' </div>' .
'</div>';

Tried all of them on this thread and only one brings up the image the rest just bring up the box title and we accept paypal. There is no red x or image or errors. I am the only one that could manage to put the footer in the right Column. LOL!!!
$data = '<div class="img"><img src="http://xxx.com/xxx/images/paypal_accepted.JPG"></div>';

Thanks

tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . '/xxx/images/paypal_accepted.JPG',

is wrong.

UNless you have the paypal_accepted.JPG image named like that, and in

/images//xxx/images/

Remove this: /xxx/images/

/xxx/images/paypal_accepted.JPG' image is in /folder/images/paypal_accepted.JPG

Moved image to root

Found my mistake and Burt's code works just fine. Thanks Burt. Now to make the paypal image when clicked go to paypal verification page.
Thanks Bo

 <div class="ui-widget-content infoBoxContents"><a href="http://example.com">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'paypal_accepted.JPG', 'We accept Paypal') .

Making a box to show SSL from Godaddy.
Follow kymation's how to build a box. Name it whatever you want the box to say.
Maybe this will help someone like me. LOL!!!

Add this in includes/boxes/bm_whateveryounamedbox.php
It will replace the content
$data = '<div class="ui-widget infoBoxContainer">' .
' <div class="ui-widget-header infoBoxHeading">' . MODULE_BOXES_whateveryounameyourbox_TITLE . '</div>' .
' <div class="ui-widget-content infoBoxContents"><span id="siteseal"><script type="text/javascript" src="https://seal.godaddy.com/getSeal?sealID=Your site seal number"></script><br/></a></span></div>' .
'</div>';

Due to help from this thread I've managed to create a new 'box' to hold my adsense ads.

Thing is, I'm lost at how to insert the Google code into the bm_adsense file.

I think I have to 'parse' it into the $data variable. Is this correct?

Any help on how to do it would be great.

google code looks like this

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_slot = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

Cheers

[kymation]

$data = 'paste_code_here';

Or use the Generic Box addon and just paste the code in the Admin setup for the box. Whichever is easiest for you.

Jim,

I thought I'd tried the $data = 'paste_code_here';

It gives me a blank page, but no alerts. I'm thinking though that I'm using my development apache server/localhost, and wonder if that's the problem, don't want to go live with it until I'm sure, the client has started populating the site, I would hate to lose it all! :smile:

I'm going trying the generic box addon, will report back.

[thered]

<blush> Oh dear... I had adblock plus running - soon as I exempted my localhost page it worked!!!

Thanks agan Jim.

I never even thought of that. Good old Adblock. Glad to hear you got it running.
