Flexible Footer Menu Multilingual [Support Thread]

[top hatt]

Sorry. My bad.

Shut the computer off and later restarted it and the menu items are in columns. Go figure.

They are not full width though. Only about half the width of the screen in desktop mode. Any ideas?

Changelog:
Version 1.5 09-01-2019 Zen4All

• Fixed a bug in the sanitizer
• Update the files to Zen Cart 1.5.6

2 added but undefined constants in YOUR_ADMIN/flexible_footer_menu.php

TEXT_INFO_PAGES_ID & TEXT_INFO_PAGES_ID_SELECT

Note this was downloaded via github

other than that, install nicely and upgrades nicely on 1.5.6a

with an exception of above I have a bootstrap compatible version, not sure if it should be a separate plugin or add to our original.

I'll add the missing define.
We can put the Bootstrap files in a separate folder, but in this mod,for easier maintenance. If you want to make a PR on GitHub, I will make a new release.

How can I have a link in the footer open in a new window? I changed from internal link to external to try to have it open in a new window but without luck. I would like to link to my blog in a subdomain but keep existing page open - so 'selectively' open in new window or not.

from configure page
"EXTERNAL link URL Example: http://www.zcadditions.com (http://) strips INTERNAL link URL and auto opens in new tab/window."

cheers, Mike

You can't, it's entirely at the discretion of the browser (most only support tabs). Most user agents automatically open in new tab unless the user opts to open in new window via right click of a link.

You can specify http://www.YOURBLOG.YOUR_DOMAIN.com/ for an EXTERNAL link and it will open in a new tab

You could use jquery to force opening a new window

Thanks Ray for your reply - maybe I didn't understand the terminology - I thought that adding https://www.blog.harmonyballpendant.com as the link to 'blog' in the configure for that page name would mean it would open in a new window (which it doesn't), i.e. if I am on the index page and I click in the blog link it would open the blog in a new window such that the index page is still open, as if there was a target="_blank" instruction - but I suppose EXTERNAL means a totally different site, right? not just a sub domain.

I suppose I didn't think it through - the blog in question is a redirected third party blog, my blog from Blogger and hence doesn't have the exact same template and I'd hate to run the risk of potentially losing customers through different site navigation so I may have to put the link to it somewhere else with a target="_blank" - possibly in the copyright section below FFMM, not ideal but needs as must be.

So all of my pages links under a column called 'Articles' are to EZ Pages configured to open in a new window, so I assume FFMM overrides that setting given they do not?

The blog is the main concern however as indicated in the initial scribbled post my preference would be for all links in FFMM to open in new windows - so what jquery could / should be used to achieve that, and where would it be placed? (I know very little about coding).

many thanks,
Mike

It should be possible,as it is also possible to do with ez-pages. I'll have a look at it after the weekend.

Mike,

open includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/flexible_footer_menu.php

Find:

if (strpos($URL, "http://") !== false { 

Replace with:

if (strpos($URL, "http://") !== false || strpos($URL, "https://") !== false) { 

See if that does what your looking for
