| Custom Boxes |
This is where you setup content areas for display within your store (we call them boxes). They can contain any content from Raw HTML, to RSS Feeds, to an external HTML/PHP File (e.g. Ad Content, Featured Items, Newsletter Form, etc.). To delete a Custom Box, set Display to Delete and resave your settings.
Custom Box:
This first input box is for labeling the box within the admin. It is only visible to you in the admin and won't be seen in your store.
Display:
Select whether you want the box displayed. If you set to No your box settings will still be saved.

Border Color:

Border Size:
Select the Border Size around the box (in pixels)

Location:
Custom Boxes can be positioned in various locations on a page. L=Left, R=Right, PT=Page Top, PB=Page Bottom, BT=Body Top, BB=Body Bottom, I[x]=Item Related Locations and C[x]=Category Related Locations.
Here are the locations:

Display Pages:
Specify which pages you want the box displayed on
1st Page Only:
Check this box if you want the custom box to appear only on the first page of categories/subcategories
Display Rules:
Fine-tune conditions for when this Custom Box will be displayed. Leave both the green and red box blank to display the box on all applicable pages. If the green box is populated, the Custom Box will display only on these pages. If the red box is populated, the Custom Box will display on all pages except those specified. For the Category section use Category IDs (c). For the Subcategory section use Browse Nodes (n). For the Item section use ASINs (i). All values should be separated by a comma.

Box Content:
If the Box Type you selected was Raw HTML, you would paste the HTML in the Box Content section below. Or for a Box Type of HTML/PHP File, you would enter the server path or URL to the file/script in the Box Content section. Note: File paths are better and will load faster. On some servers you may need to use the URL. If the file is in the same location as your shop file, you might be able to simply enter the file name (e.g. yourfile.html, yourscript.php). |
