You might be able to fix it by uninstalling the module and reinstalling. If that doesn't work, you'll have to edit the database directly. Search your Configuration table for MODULE_BOXES_GENERIC_CONTENT_ENGLISH and delete that row. You should then be able to uninstall.

OK I have un-installed & changed all ' to \' then re-installed & added new code. It shows on the admin side but not on the catalog side.

As it worked on the catalog side & shows on the admin side I'm guessing I'll have to make the colour & size adjustments but leave the ' as original. The error message doesn't seem to stop it from working, unless you have another work around java script?

All it means is that I cannot edit the code. I have to un-install & re-install. Will this make any difference?
I'm hoping un-installing & re-installing many times won't have an adverse affect?

Yes, I forgot something. You need to make a change to includes/modules/boxes/bm_generic.php. find Line 77:

		$module_contents .= $content . PHP_EOL;

and change it to:

		$module_contents .= stripslashes($content) . PHP_EOL;

The box should now work correctly in both the Admin and Catalog.

I have changed all the ' for a " & it shows both admin & catalog without an error message.

Not sure if this is a default with the generic box, but you only seem to be able to add code to the contents once?
After that you do not get the option of the code in the white input box?

I'll leave it at that for the moment, until you say any different.

Thanks once again.

Cross posts. Do I still need to do this as I have changed all ' to " & it works both admin & catalog side?

No, that was only to account for the escaped single quotes.

I think you've found a bug. I have no idea what is doing that, but I'll find out and fix it. Thanks for letting me know.

ohhhh my first bug sorry

[Mastermind2008]

This box works, thanks!

But can you tell me how to make it not appear on product pages, like the best sellers box... display on every page but product pages.

Thanks,
Mastermind2008

[kymation]

The Best Sellers box appears on subcategory pages, manufacturer pages, and review pages. Is this what you want?

Regrds

Yea, except not on review pages. The only pages (i can think of) that I don't want it on is product page and review page. Is there a place to define this or something?

Thanks.

[kymation]

You need to modify the code to restrict the box. In includes/modules/boxes/bm_generic.php, find this code:

	  if (tep_not_null($content)) {

and replace it with:

	  if (tep_not_null($content) && !isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'])) {

That should keep it from showing on any product or review page.

That doesn't work. And only on the first categories page does my top sellers work, how can i make it show on other category pages?

Thanks so much!

Try replacing $HTTP_GET_VARS with $_GET in that line.

That works! Thanks so much. Now can you tell me how to make best sellers show on all category pages and not just the first one? OR Just make it work on all pages.


Thanks!

Enter the contents that you want in your box in English.

Hi Jim

Slightly off topic, but will this code change work to stop the New Products box from appearing on the product_info page too please?

[kymation]

That code will block the module from appearing anyplace that the Product ID is present: Product Info and Reviews pages.
