You need to remove the following:

<div id="navSupp">
<ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />

<?php if (EZPAGES_STATUS_FOOTER == '1' or (EZPAGES_STATUS_FOOTER == '2' and (strstr(EXCLUDE_ADMIN_IP_FOR_MAINTENANCE, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])))) { ?>
<li><?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_ezpages_bar_footer.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_ezpages_bar_footer.php'); ?></li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>

Alright I've installed the footer menu mod. Looks great but no matter what I do a cannot change the styling of the links (i.e remove underline, remove bold, change font type) no matter where I change nothing seems to take effect.

Please review the site at www.megasaveonline.com. What am I doing wrong.

open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_footer_menu.css

find the following section and make whatever changes you require.

#footer ul {margin:0;padding:0;list-style: none;}

#footer li a:link {color: #444;font-size:11px;margin:0;padding-left:1em;padding-bottom:.3em;line-height:14px;display:block;}
#footer li a:visited {color: #444;font-size:11px;margin:0;padding-left:1em;padding-bottom:.3em;line-height:14px;display:block;}
#footer li a:hover {color:#f27a00;background:none;text-decoration: underline;}
#footer li a:active {color: #444;font-size:11px;margin:0;padding-left:1em;padding-bottom:.3em;line-height:14px;display:block;}

Clyde thanks for the quick reply. I've changed a combination of those lines yet I can't get it to do a universal change. What I mean is for example I change the #444 in one of the lines to say #f00 then only three of the links are red and not the rest.
Also I noticed there is no underline in the code above(Except the hover) yet the links on the site are ALL underlined

Maybe something else is controlling the look of the footer links. I am attaching an image of what I am seeking.

Thanks for your hasty reply

look at your stylesheet.css

a:link, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a {
	color: #2b2b2b;
	text-decoration: underline;
	}
 
a:visited {
	color: #2b2b2b;
	text-decoration: underline;
	}

a:hover, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a:hover, #navMain ul li a:hover, #navSupp ul li a:hover, #navCatTabs ul li a:hover {
	color: #2b2b2b;
	text-decoration: none;
	}

a:active {
	color: #2b2b2b;
	}

	}

a:active {
	color: #2b2b2b;
	}

I've commented out that entire section from stylesheet.css yet ALL the links are STILL underlined. I know I a bit new to this but can you please elaborate a little more I've exhausted my options.

Clyde, hi again.

Trying to install Footer Menu on your zencart_zen template. Test site:

http://www.prom-mart.com/index.php?main_page=contact_us

Several issues:

1. Text in coluns seems mis-aligned, as if trying to align center (not for categories, though). See "Important Links", "Best Sellers", "Information" boxes.

2. For some reason, Contact Us is missing the red asterisk.

3. How might I align links in footer to align left rather than center?

4. Site would probably look a little better with a small margin at bottom, as in zencart_zen on main site as yet without footer menu:

http://www.prommart.com/index.php?main_page=contact_us

Cannot bear right now to wade through new thread, so if you have any thoughts specific to your template, thanks.

SPH

PS: I did just install the css/js minifer on test site (which does speed it up, although your template does very good out of the box.) Not sure if that affects above issues.

Okay, going through thread, above fix seems to have fixed my upper sidebox issues. And also put a small margin at bottom of page. And took out the yellowish/gold hover in links not only in footer but in other places in site.

Now, have I yet come across how some have their links left aligned rather than center aligned?

Just noticed: still have missing red asterisks Contact Us:

As for the sideboxes - zencart_zen doesn't modify any of them except for the categories.
You'll need to look at each of the sidebox templates and determine if they contain a class="centeredContent" element and delete that if you want them to be left aligned.

I believe there is a fix for the asterisks in the support thread for zencart_zen
