Problems with FedEx tpl_footer

[k4satin]

I've installed the FedEx module from Merlin, but the tpl_footer is not functioning properly.

When I used the suggested filepath, the link to checkout_shipping no longer worked when I tried to do a test purchase. I tried instead replacing includes/templates/CUSTOM_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php, but that messed up my whole site - I got a "page not found" error from my browser & couldn't open any pages of the site. I also tried putting it in includes/modules/pages/checkout_shipping/.., but that didn't work either.

I used WinMerge to compare the FedEx tpl_footer to that in template_default to try to isolate the parts relevant to FedEx, but they are nothing alike. I am using version 1.2.7. Is the file I received intended to go with 1.3?

I looked in the forums and didn't find anyone else with this problem. I'd already checked many possible causes of my broken checkout_shipping link when I discovered that removing the tpl_footer solved the problem.

I'm not sure where to go from here...

I'd really appreciate input from Merlin or someone who's had a similar problem.

Thanks!

you need to change CUSTOM TEMPLATE to the name of your template
the tpl_footer can be used in either

Thanks for responding, but I already understand that part. Everything I've tried has been through my own custom template folders - I just didn't post the name of my custom template. I thought it would be more clear that way.

Is the only point of this footer to display the following text on the checkout_shipping_address page?

"FedEx service marks used by permission."

It looks like you've got this tacked on to the end of the current copyright text? I think I can figure out how to code this into my tpl_footer page. Since I've already customized it quite a bit and even the default that I had originally doesn't seem to match up with yours, this might be the simplest solution.

Please let me know if there's anything else I need to include, and I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

thats all thats there,
the copyright information,
use the current page layout to get it to display ONLY on the shipping page

[k4satin]

Do you have a link to a site that's using this correctly so that I can see how it's supposed to look?

[Merlinpa1969]

just create a folder named checkout_shipping inside your custom template
includes/templates/YOUR TEMPLATE/checkout_shipping/
place a copy of the tpl_footer.php

at the bottom place


<center>FedEx service marks used by permission.</center>

Well, I've been working on this, but I'm not quite getting the statement right to have it only appear on the checkout_shipping page. This is what I've got so far:


<?php if ($_GET['main_page'] != CHECKOUT_SHIPPING) {
?>
<tr>
<td class="footerbottom">FedEx service marks used by permission.
</td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>


Am I close?

[Merlinpa1969]

NO
quit making it dificult,
there is an over ride for every page

create a new FOLDER named checkout_shipping inside your custom template
and put a stock tpl_footer.php
so it will look like this
includes/templates/your template/checkout_shipping/tpl_footer.php

now open this file and put the code I posted earlier at the very BOTTOM of the file

[k4satin]

Sorry. I didn't refresh my page and see your previous post before adding mine. I thought of trying the override after I wrote that post since that's what it seemed you'd done in the module. I just did it and everything's working fine now.

Thanks for sticking with me.
