Add a content box (important oversight revealed)

[Guest ncoredump]

Hi

It would seem None of the guides re-enforce the importance of having the BEGIN and END tags for the template file.

Also here I will highlight a important connection between template file and php.

eg inside: static_links.tpl

<!-- BEGIN: staticlinksvar -->

... html template code here...

<!-- END staticlinksvar -->

"staticlinksvar" is relevant to the name you perform the following lines of code with located in "yourbox".inc.php: located in SITENAME/include/boxes/.



In our example case static_links.inc.php

$box_content->parse("staticlinksvar");

$box_content = $box_content->text("staticlinksvars");

with out the linkage the box will never render

Hope this helps others, spent 12 hours on it..
