"ARRAY" showing where custom content box should be

I'm adding a custom content box to my header. Right now, it's just supposed to show a horizontal list of items separated by a "|", but instead, it displays the work "Array" and nothing else. I can custom code the HTML into the global/index.tpl file but need to get a grasp of this custom boxes concept for my own understanding.

Here's what I've got:

includes\global\index.inc.php file:


## Custom Top Menu Box

require_once'includes'.CC_DS.'boxes'.CC_DS.'topMenu.inc.php';

$body->assign('TOP_MENU',$box_content);





In includes\boxes\topMenu.inc.php:





<?php



if (!defined('CC_INI_SET')) die("Access Denied");



	## include lang file

	$lang = getLang('includes'.CC_DS.'boxes'.CC_DS.'topMenu.inc.php');

	$box_content = new XTemplate ('boxes'.CC_DS.'topMenu.tpl');



?>





In the skins\Classic\styleTemplates\boxes\topMenu.tpl file:





<!-- BEGIN: topMenu -->



	{LANG_HOME} | {LANG_NEW_CUSTOMERS} | {LANG_SIGNIN} | {LANG_MY_ACCOUNT} | {LANG_CUSTOMER_SERVICE}



<!-- END: topMenu -->





In the language\en\includes\boxes\topMenu.inc.php





<?php

$lv = !$langBully ?  "lang" : "bully";

${$lv}['topMenu'] = array(

'home' => "Home",

'new_customers' => "New Customers",

'signin' => "Sign In",

'my_account' => "My Account",

'customer_service' => "Customer Service",

);

?>





And finally in the skin\Classic\styleTemplates\global\index.tpl file





<div>{TOP_MENU}</div>

I've found a bunch of "How to add custom content" but they all seem to be really old and CCv3 related. If anyone can point me towards a guide for doing it in CC4, that would be great.

Thanks in advance for your help.

You need to open your includes\boxes\topMenu.inc.php and assign the values to the text between the curly brackets that are on your \styleTemplates\boxes\topMenu.tpl

Try this....

<?php



if (!defined('CC_INI_SET')) die("Access Denied");



        ## include lang file

        $lang = getLang('includes'.CC_DS.'boxes'.CC_DS.'topMenu.inc.php');

        $box_content = new XTemplate ('boxes'.CC_DS.'topMenu.tpl');

        $box_content->assign('LANG_HOME', $lang['topMenu']['home']);

        $box_content->assign('LANG_NEW_CUSTOMERS', $lang['topMenu']['new_customers']);

        $box_content->assign('LANG_SIGNIN', $lang['topMenu']['signin']);

        $box_content->assign('LANG_MY_ACCOUNT', $lang['topMenu']['my_account']);

        $box_content->assign('LANG_CUSTOMER_SERVICE', $lang['topMenu']['customer_service']);

        $box_content->parse('topMenu');

        $box_content = $box_content->text('topMenu');



?>


Also, remove the comma from the end of this line in your language file




'customer_service' => "Customer Service",
