Footer Menu Support Thread

In that case, you're going to have to roll up your sleeves and work on the footer_menu_defines.php file.

each of the columns is defined in its own section.

I'll use column three for this example. All these links use Zen Cart pages.

/*BOF Menu Column 3 link Definitions*/
Define('TITLE_THREE', '<li class="menuTitle">Customer Service</li>');
Define('CONTACT','<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a></li>');
Define('SHIPPING', '<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_SHIPPING . '</a></li>');
Define('PRIVACY', '<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY . '</a></li>');
Define('CONDITIONS','<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS . '</a></li>');
Define('ACCOUNT', '<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL') .'">' . HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT . '</a></li>');
/*EOF Menu Column 3 link Definitions*/ 

You can change the define statements to your liking:
change the constant If you wish.
Since I'm not sure whether you will be using internal or external links, I'll use external links.

Define('CONDITIONS','<li><a href=" http://your_link.com">this is my link</a></li>');

Now You'll need to make sure that you include any changes to the constants appear in the "footer menu defines

Define('CUSTOMER_SERVICE', '<dd class="third">
<ul>' . TITLE_THREE . CONTACT . SHIPPING . PRIVACY . CONDITIONS . ACCOUNT . '</ul></dd>');

Hi Clyde,

Thanks for the reply. I just finished making about 15 footer links via EZPages, all INTERNAL LINKS. Man that was easy, love Zen Cart!

How would I go about setting up footer_menu_defines.php to have columns 2,3,4 be EZ Pages INTERNAL links at about 5 links a column.

Again your help is very much appreciated.

You can't. columns 2 and 3 will have to be edited with your internal links.

just follow the pattern in the define statements

Column 4 can be left as ez pages links

Ok, Clyde, thanks for the great info. Doing as advised I constructed define statements for my internal links leaving column 4 alone.

I basically just reorganized column 1 and then made define statements for columns 2 and 3.

Can you take a look at my code and tell me if there is anything wrong with it (errors in logic or syntax). The following is my customized file:

I spaced the define statements out to make them easier to read

/*BOF Menu Column 1 link Definitions*/

Define('SITEMAP', '<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_SITE_MAP) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_SITE_MAP . '</a></li>');

Also do I need to leave all of the EZPages that I created last night in order for this file to work or do I delete them or .... please advise.

Thanks for all your help!

If you're not going to use the ez-pages just turn the footer off
admin -> configuration -> ez pages settings -> EZ-Pages Display Status - FooterBar (set to 0)

You'll also need to change this section to match your updated column definitions.

/*BOF Footer Menu Definitions*/ //table headings definitions
Define('COMPANY', '<dd class="first">
<ul>' . TITLE_ONE . ABOUT . CONTACT . CONDITIONS . PRIVACY . SITEMAP . '</ul></dd>');

Define('ACCOUNT_INFORMATION', '<dd class="second">
<ul>' . TITLE_TWO . ABOUT . SITEMAP . GVFAQ . COUPON . UNSUBSCRIBE . '</ul></dd>');

Define('SHOPPING_LINKS', '<dd class="third">
<ul>' . TITLE_THREE . CONTACT . SHIPPING . PRIVACY . CONDITIONS . ACCOUNT . '</ul></dd>');

Define('CUSTOMER_SUPPORT', '<dd><ul>' . TITLE_FOUR);
Define('CUSTOMER_SUPPORT_END', '</ul></dd>');

Hi Clyde,

I got it working! Thanks for your help!

Hi Clyde,

I was looking thru this thread and found this (Post 24):


Define('LINKS', '<li><a href="' . zen_ez_pages_link(31) . '"> Links</a></li>');

You'll then need to add this to the following definition statement

Define('QUICKLINKS', '<dd class="first">
<ul>' . TITLE_ONE . HOME . FEATURED . SPECIALS . NEWPRODUCTS . ALLPRODUCTS . LINKS . '</ul></dd>');


Is the above code what is necessary to add a link created via the EZPages in any one of the first 3 columns?

Yes, that is the correct format for ez page links
