I just bought a great module for html boxes called Unibox. I have left a similar comment on the module page in the hope the dev can answer it and implement the request, but i thought i'd post here to see if it is even possible.

We are a small DIY record label and use the shop to sell the CDs and DVDs we produce. In the html boxes I can paste any code i want and thus have videos or even soundcloud embeds of whole EPs and LPs.

I briefly got quite excited because I thought I could have an html box featuring a video or mp3 player specific to each product, or to a band's category in the left hand column. I know i can use the source area of the product page to embed these things, and have done, but that tucks the media away at the bottom when i have a lovely (now 300px wide) space in the left hand column.

And I know other modules enable you to put it further up in the product page area, but in the demos i have seen it looks cluttered.... and i still have that nice wide space in the left hand column.

The module allows us to specify html boxes for Category as a whole, or Product as a whole, by utilising the Layout option and the Position Option.

But is it possible to associate an html box to a specific Category or Product path? They have specific urls so logically it seems that it would be possible, but that isn't to say it is.

Was

a) just wondering if it is possible and

b) offering up a money making opportunity to someone who does make it possible :)

this is our shop in case you want to see the layout that spawned this idea: http://www.eyeseesoundrecords.com/shop

of course, it may not be an original one. I tried searching but nothing came back... that's not to say i didn't just not guess the correct terms to search for.

Cheers

Jules

It's ok, i've finally figured out how to do it.


1) Create layout called NEWLAYOUT with route product/product

2) Assign html module to NEWLAYOUT with the music video/ soundcloud embed in it

3) In Product page go to Design and override layout with NEWLAYOUT.

and bingo.

Took a bit of forum searching to piece together a few different answers for the penny to drop, but hey i'm a happy puppy now.

This helped me put a HTML-module on a category-page (put category/category in layout route), thanks!!
