Adding text to footer

[Green333]

Hi
I know this is probably glaringly simple, but I'd like to add some text to my footer under the copyright & powered by zencart line

I've checked out the "How do I change the Copyright message in the footer?" tutorial, but not sure how to add additional text.

thanks
S

Go into /includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php. Put your changes after

<!--eof-banner #5 display -->

It is at the bottom of the file.

Add text, pics, etc.....

Thanks Straw for your reply.

My file doesn't have that statement at the bottom; this is what I have:

<?php
/**
* Common Template - tpl_footer.php
*
* this file can be copied to /templates/your_template_dir/pagename<br />
* example: to override the privacy page<br />
* make a directory /templates/my_template/privacy<br />
* copy /templates/templates_defaults/common/tpl_footer.php to /templates/my_template/privacy/tpl_footer.php<br />
* to override the global settings and turn off the footer un-comment the following line:<br />
* <br />
* $flag_disable_footer = true;<br />

require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory('footer.php'));
?>

<?php
if (!$flag_disable_footer) {

?>






<div id="footer">
<div class="side_left">
<div class="side_right">
<div class="side_top">
<div class="side_bot">
<div class="left_top">
<div class="right_top">
<div class="left_bot">
<div class="right_bot">
<div class="inside_footer">
<div class="column">
<div class="indent">
<?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE.'images/cards.jpg'); ?>

<!-- end GeoTrust Smart Icon tag -->
</div>
</div>
<div class="column_1">
<div class="indent">
<span>
<?php
if (EZPAGES_STATUS_FOOTER == '1' or (EZPAGES_STATUS_FOOTER == '2' and (strstr(EXCLUDE_ADMIN_IP_FOR_MAINTENANCE, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])))) {
?>
<a href="<?php echo HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG; ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a><?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_ezpages_bar_footer.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_ezpages_bar_footer.php'); ?>

<?php } ?>
</span><br />
<?php echo FOOTER_TEXT_BODY; ?> <a href="<?=zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY)?>"></a>
</div>
</div><br class="clear" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>









<?php
} // flag_disable_footer
?>

So sorry for my ignorance do I have to add the statement so that I can add text?

Many thanks

Not a big deal. I assumed yours had that and was just using that as a marker to look for. You don't need it. Put your text under the last </div>. You could also place text above the first <div class= > if that looks better for what you are trying to accomplish.

I would also look at your css file to determine what all those div classes are for. Modifying those might be better since so many were placed in the footer.

Post a link to your site so we can see what all you have going on and have a better insight.

Ignore that. I just looked at your site and those are just tied to images used to create the green background of the footer.

I like your overall look, bright and cheery.

Put your text above this last bit on the page:

.....text text text text.....

<?php
} // flag_disable_footer
