How to add text box on bottom of every page?

**lc123** · 4 Jun 2011, 08:24 PM

If you look at http://zedel.com/ you can see a box for " Wide Variety of Products" with text in it. It appears on every page. How do i achieve the same thing with zencart http://zedel.com/store/zencart

Just started learning how to use this. I tried to put it in the footer page but then it just goes across the whole footer and not in the body center.

I just want a text box like that on every page.
Thanks

Check out the banner manager. It allows you to add text as a banner.

Depending on your template it will allow you to display banners in a number of positions. If your template doesn't put one in the right place then moving it should be no problem .

Having had a quick look at your store it looks like that might be needed. You are going to want to post the file includes/templates/your_template/tpl_main_page.php ( just zip it and attach it to a post) so that someone can look at it and tell you how to do that.

The advantage of using the banner manager is that you can easily change the text.

This is my tpl_main_page.php

Where should i add the banner thing for text then?

Code:

// the following IF statement can be duplicated/modified as needed to set additional flags
  if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'list_pages_to_skip_all_right_sideboxes_on_here,separated_by_commas,and_no_spaces')) ) {
    $flag_disable_right = true;
  }

  $header_template = 'tpl_header.php';
  $footer_template = 'tpl_footer.php';
  $left_column_file = 'column_left.php';
  $right_column_file = 'column_right.php';
  $body_id = ($this_is_main_page) ? 'indexHome' : str_replace('_', '', $_GET['main_page']);
?>


<body id="<?php echo $body_id . 'Body'; ?>"<?php if($zv_onload !='') echo ' onload="'.$zv_onload.'"'; ?>>

    $flag_disable_header = true;

OK Well, because it is all in the same file do this. Use Banner 6. So you want to cut all this code :

Code:

<!-- BOF- BANNER #6 display -->
<?php
	if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET6 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET6)) {
  		if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
?>
			<div id="bannerSix" class="banners"><?php echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></div>
<?php
    	}
	}
?>
<!-- EOF- BANNER #6 display -->

and paste it in just underneath where it says...

Code:

<!--eof content_center-->

So you have moved this banner to the bottom of the center column.

Now you need to work out how to use banners. Have a read of:

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=80

and in the banner manager you want to use the bit that says somethign like 'html text'

**lc123** · 5 Jun 2011, 11:14 PM

Ok, I changed it and read that document. Under Layout Settings there are the banner display groups, which one of those would be banner 6? I guess I am having a hard time understanding how I edit banner 6, or what banner 6 even is called in the admin area. Probably a silly question, just new to Zen Cart
