Have the box, but can't do what I want to.

[Lobotaman]

Hello,

I have been wrestling with something for far too long now. I am trying to make a new column box (DONE) in the right column and all I want in there are four links where each link opens an image using javascript.

I have the images, I have the javascript that I want to use.

But, I don't know where to put the html file with the javascript.

Can anybody just give me a few pointers, please?

If javscript needs to go in the head section of the page = main_page.tpl.php. If in the body, just put it in the box itself.

Michael,

I followed the instructions for creating a new box and, having done so, I could create a duplicate of any of the existing boxes on the main template.

It is fairly confusing because about 3 files are involved in creating a new box.

However, what I'm doing is different than any of the existing boxes.

So, I am trying to understand which files I put my...

[1] Link text in, such as a link to "Font Choices"
[2] javascript in, to pop-up the "Font Choice.jpg" image

That's the help I need.

This site has something similar (from your Web Links page) see "Resources" in the left column of this site: http://honeybeadjewelry.com/catalog/

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

easy way:
1. Create the links in your new box ( the file in the boxes direcrtory)
2. Put the popup javascript in the new box as well. ( the file in the boxes direcrtory)

BTS correct way:
1. Define your box text constants in english.php
2. Create the links in your new box using your box text constants ( the file in the boxes direcrtory)
3. Put the popup javascript file in the new box or in /includes/javascript directory.
