Est Shipping Box in Left Column Trouble

[cdickson 0]

Howard - great contribution! Thanks!

 

I must have made a small error, though, because I have not been able to get the estimated shipping box into the left column. I have installed the contribution, checked it several times, then reinstalled v1.7 and still have the same problem. My site looks like this:

 

My column_left.php code is:

Can anyone please help?

you are using STS template

 

files you need to change

(1) column_left.php

(2) sts_display_output.php

(3) sts_template.html

 

in column_left.php

require(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_ESTIMATED_SHIPPING);

$sts_block_name = estimatebox;

require(STS_RESTART_CAPTURE);

 

in sts_display_output.php at line 225, add in a new line like this:

$template['estimatebox'] = strip_unwanted_tags($sts_block['estimatebox'], 'estimatebox');

 

same file, at line 306 add in a new line like this:

echo $sts_block['estimatebox'];

 

in sts_display.html, this is where you decide your box will display, be PRECISE with the location/sequence.

 

at line 31 put in the HTML smart tag $estimatebox, if you want this box to show up AFTER categories, put it right after $categories etc.

Jeffrey, thanks very much for this thorough explanation when people use STS :thumbsup:

I don't know/use STS so would have never been able to provide such complete answer.

I'll better add this to the installation documentation if that's okay with you.
