There is no scroll function in this box. If you have added one, the problem is in the code you added.

I am new to osCommerce and this is the first add-on I am trying to install.  I know there are supposed to be install instructions, but could someone please tell me where I can find them?  I have downloaded the file and unzipped it but don't know how to proceed from here.

Thanks for your help.

Ok, let me re-phrase, what I meant by scroll was the rotator function. When I turn it to true no image appears in the box, when it is false then the images appear and change with every refresh.

This is the support thread for the Generic Box Addon. Perhaps you are using some other Addon.

I want to have an external link inside the new generic box, that opens in a new window.
What code do I need to use to accomplish this?

[leechfreak]

I solved the problem..Just put the link in the english contents box.

How can I add this to a generic box ?

<?php
	$info_box_contents = array();
	$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_QRCODE);
	new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);
	$info_box_contents = array();
	$info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'center',
							   'text' => '<img src="https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=100x100&cht=qr&chl=http://' . $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] . '" width="100" height="100"><br>');
	new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>

You can't add PHP code to the generic box. It's not designed to do that. You need to create a new box to hold that external image.

error: Warning: constant() [function.constant]: Couldn't find constant MODULE_BOXES_GENERIC_CONTENT_ESPANOL in .........

Problem this contribution in Spanish Language (I think same problem in other language that directory is different to language name).
Example: Spanish is: Español (language name) and espanol (language directory). To work it well I need change my language description in Admin from español to espanol (change Spanish  caracter "ñ").
I don´t know make changes to the php code, but I find this problem on many contributions.
And my last Question: Is possible change in the PHP code from language_name to language_directory?, sove it this problems?.
Thanks.

[celeroncillo]

Hi kymation, I think that this code is correct, is working in my localhost web (for test) When my language is Español and my directory is espanol. Please can you test it and update your contribution?. Thanks

Thanks for the code. I just need to find the time to build a new version. You can upload it yourself if you want, but please make it a full upload.

• Hi, it has potential to be able to place any info/script on a custom box. I followed the steps, clicked on install and it looked like it did, but the box doesn't display under admin/boxes, anyone experiencing this issue? Thanks in advance!

I fixed it, I had placed the file somewhere else which helped me to install another module I had the same issue with. Now I am struggling with adding the following:
<a onclick="OpenBrWindow('msnlive.html','msnlive','scrollbars=0','400','400','true')" href="javascript:;">

I am looking to link my msn to provide live support, but I do get an error obviously because I am assuming it takes a little more than just adding that code, maybe modifying the module files?

[kymation]

Escape the single quotes, like this:

<a onclick="OpenBrWindow(\'msnlive.html\',\'msnlive\',\'scrollbars=0\',\'400\',\'400\',\'true\')" href="javascript:;">

Thanks Jim, it sure got rid of the error message, and it properly displays the info but won't open the new window but rather tries to open on the same window. When I use this javascript I have to call it on the head of the html document, otherwise it will not work, so I believe this applies here as well. Should it be call on the php document? For example, this is the javascript code I use:
<script language="Javascript1.2">
function OpenBrWindow(theURL,winName,features, myWidth, myHeight, isCenter) { //v3.0
  if(window.screen)if(isCenter)if(isCenter=="true"){
    var myLeft = (screen.width-myWidth)/2;
    var myTop = (screen.height-myHeight)/2;
    features+=(features!='')?',':'';
    features+=',left='+myLeft+',top='+myTop;
  }
  window.open(theURL,winName,features+((features!='')?',':'')+'width='+myWidth+',height='+myHeight);
}

</script>

But that have to be placed on the head of the html document, where to declare? Thanks in advance and happy holidays from Costa Rica

Then you would have to add that code to the head in catalog/includes/template-top.php.

Thanks Jim, there is probably a little more tweaking involved, what would be the easiest way to add a custom pop up window inside the generic box? Thanks!
