Footer Menu Support Thread

[clydejones]

Awesome, thanks clyde.

Sorry to add more work to your pile :)

Maybe you can also direct me quickly. I use define_pages_2 as my "about us", and define_pages_3 as "fundraising initiative".

I'm not familiar with EZ pages, for some reason it doesn't like me, but I'm wondering how to get those define pages links into my footer.

Thanks for your help

Dave

If you don't use EZ Pages then you will have to edit includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/footer_menu_defines.php
and insert new definitions for them.

Using EZ Pages is not that difficult.

go to admin -> tools -> EZ Pages

click the "New File" button

Add a page title

Set everything except FOOTER to no (make sure you give it a sort order)

scroll down to
Internal Link URL:
add the link to your page - index.php?main_page=page_2

click the insert button

Do the same for your page_3 link.

make sure you have the ez pages footer status set to 1

and that's it.

Hi Clyde,

Yeah, I kind of figured that out before you posted, but I appreciate you doing so just the same.

I finally have a professional looking footer. (Happy Happy Joy Joy)

Thanks Clyde for this module. I think I'm going to take a few hours off and suck back a couple of pints lol. I'll have one for you too.

Cheers

Dave

Hi clyde,

Just wondering if you had a chance to look at the centering issue I'm having with the footer module?

#navSuppWrapper {
margin: 40px 0 0 150px;
padding: 0;
background:none;
text-align:left;
font-weight: bold;
color: #ff9900;
width: 1100px;

Hi Clyde,

Great mod, love it. It gives that finishing touch... that many websites (including mine) needed.

One question, in the footer_menu_defines.php file, how would you code in different links. I want to provide my customers with links to the different menu options in their account when they would be logged in. The links under the "My Account" and "Email Notifications".

Essentially I would like:

• My Account
• Check Order Status
• Update Address
• Manange Newsletters
• Product Notifications

I don't quite know PHP and I am still learning ZC, would you be able to provide those for me or maybe give me a starting point.

Thank you for your help and again... Great Mod!

You would only need the My Account link (and that link is included by default). The other links you have listed can be found on the "My Account" page when a user is logged in.

Hi Clyde,

Thanks for the reply.

I am wandering if you could show me how to code those define statements in footer_menu_defines.php?

I'd like to make some custom links and lets just say its not working out too well.

Just some simple instructions would be really helpful. Thank you.

The easiest way to create custom links is to use EZ-Pages and create either "internal" or "external" links.

This method has been taken into account when I created the mod.

That way you don't need to do anything with the footer_menu_defines.php file.

Thanks for suck a quick reply.

You know, honestly I did not even think about that. Kind of used to having to code here and there to get little mods done. That is actually much better, bcuz then its maintained by ZC and not me!!!

Thanks for a great mod!

Hi Clyde,

In the case of the EZ Pages creating the links, I want 3 of the 4 columns to be based on EZ Pages.

Do I need to do anything to the footer_menu_defines.php file? I see that is set up for only 1 column of EZPages links.

Can you please advise, thanks for your help.
