Footer Menu Support Thread

[clydejones]

Hi Clyde,

I am trying to apply the html name attribute for links in the footer_menu_defines file with no success

In an effort to cut down on non-product pages, I have combined all of my policies to the 2 pages that comes standard with ZC, conditions and privacy. For instance, I placed my returns policy on the same page as my TOS. I need to provide a link that takes the customer to the returns section on the conditions page.

I have tried this:
Define('RETURNS', '<li><a href="'http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?main_page=conditions#returns'");
but it just gets commented out when you add '//' or '#' in the url.

and this:
Define('CONDITIONS','<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS#returns . '</a></li>');
but again the '#' just comments it all out.

Is there another way of doing it that works? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I haven't tired this but maybe you can use something similiar to the way includes/languages/english/gv_faq.php is set up.

I believe that you'll need to set up the case statements on your conditions page.

Then do the define statements in includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/footer_menu_defines.php
something like this:

Define('CONDITIONS','<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS,'faq_item=1','NONSSL') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS . '</a></li>');
Define('RETURNS','<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS,'faq_item=2','NONSSL') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS . '</a></li>');

If the above doesn't work you could also try the following:


Define('CONDITIONS','<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS .'#returns') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS . '</a></li>');

i was hoping someone may have experienced it before. i believe (probably incorrectly) it has something to do with the tpl_footer. i can post the code and the stylesheet i am using.

I'm working in the dark here, but if as you say the white space is showing up after your copyright information.

You might want to try moving your google analytics code from the tpl_footer.php and place it in tpl_main_page.php just above the closing </body> tag

hi clyde,

thanks for the reply. unfortunately removing the ga code had no effect on the mysterious white box.

thanks.

People share ideas of how they use or modify mods all the time.. It's how the community shares and learns.. and sometimes some ideas make their way into mods.. I do not think Clyde will mind at all if you share how you have used his excellent contribution..

Clyde,

Do you mind if I share with how I modified your mod?

[clydejones]

Clyde,

Do you mind if I share with how I modified your mod?

Not at all

[DivaVocals]

Clyde,

Do you mind if I share with how I modified your mod?

If you look around the community does this ALL the time.. It's how we all learn and share tips and tricks.. A few folks have shared ideas in THIS support thread already on how they've used and expanded on Clyde's wonderful mod..
