Ezpages Footer Columns support

It appears that your template has eliminated the standard #mainWrapper that holds all of the other parts. Thus, #siteInfoLegal needs its own styling to make it match the other parts.

You have two different rules controlling the height of #navSupp:
stylesheet_ezpages_footer_columns.css:

Code:

---

#navSupp {
        background:#000 url(../images/footer.jpg) no-repeat;
        min-width:940px;
        min-height:312px;
        margin:0 auto;
        width:940px;
        color:#9b9b9b;
        }

---

stylesheet.css:

Code:

---

#navSupp {
        background:#000 url(../images/footer.jpg) no-repeat;
        min-width:940px;
        min-height:350px;
        height:350px;
        margin:0 auto;
        width:940px;
        color:#9b9b9b;
        }

---

Eliminate one of these rules and consolidate the property declarations you want in the other. Reduce the height values as appropriate.

There is a minor bug in the beta zip which disables the active page highlighting for non-ezpage links. You can fix it if you want by changing the end of this line in ezpages_improved_menus_functions.php

PHP Code:

---

    $active = ((strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],$alturl) !== false and strpos('/index.php?main_page=index',$alturl) === false) or ($this_is_home_page and strpos('/index.php?main_page=index',$alturl) !== false))?' activeILPage': ''; 


---

to this

PHP Code:

---

    $active = ((strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],$alturl) !== false and strpos('/index.php?main_page=index',$alturl) === false) or ($this_is_home_page and strpos('/index.php?main_page=index',$alturl) !== false))?' class="activeILPage"': '';

I am submitting the update to Plugins, and it should be available there soon.

How are column headings defined and numbered in "EZ-Pages Footer Columns v1.1" plugin?

Column rows are numbered in the "EZ-Pages" as:
1st col: 101, 102, 103
2nd col: 201, 202
3rd col: 301, 302, 303

If you have 3 columns, are the column number 1, 2 & 3 from left to right, or is it defined by an ezpage?

In order to get 3 different Column headings, is it defined as follow under \includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\MY_TEMPLATE\ezpages_footer_columns_defines.php:

define('EZPAGES_FOOTER_ICONS', '');//or '1' or '2'
define('EZPAGES_FOOTER_EXT', '');
?>

I am not getting any column heading?

Yes, footer column headings are defined by the first digit of the ez-page ids, so you would use _1, _2 and _3 in your case, as you show.
What exact definition strings are you using? Just as shown? Seeing your site live might give me a clue to why it is not working for you.

I got some screen captures of what I see. I hope it helps!

Those really don't tell me anything except that you seem to have your admin setups correct. I suppose even seeing it live wouldn't tell me more; what do your files look like?

Where exactly are they all (filepath starting with /includes/)? None of the other defines is essential to be active for your current purposes, so if the define file was not being run, the lack of column headings would be the only clue.

Are your defines exactly as shown in your previous post? (I expect so, given your other screenshots.)
The
/* ORIG STATEMENT define('EZPAGES_FOOTER_COL_HEADING_x', 'Your Column Heading');//change x to column number */
with its double comment marks shouldn't cause a problem (the /* */ should ignore the // and close properly), but try deleting the whole line or moving it to the end of the file, just for fun.

I went back to my prior backup and reloaded the plugin. It is not broken any more. I must have miss handled a file somehow.

Thank you.

Glad you got it sorted. Happy New Year!

Hi Glen,
I'm on Zen V 1.5.1 I'm trying to use EZPages Footer Columns, but I am also already using EZPages Improved Menus plugin (and love it!). When I install Footer Columns, there's apparently some kind of collision and it makes the EZPages Improved Menus (I'm using them in the header) disappear. Are the two plugins incompatible? Is there a special trick to get them to work together?

If they are not compatible, I wonder if RBarbour's Flexible Footer Menus might work.

I'm also using your Categories Dressing plugin and it does exactly what I needed- so thanks for that one also.

The two are not incompatible - I have or had both installed on a local test site. I will look at them and see what might interfere. They both use some of the same base functions.

There is a chance that seeing your site live could give me a clue about your issue.
