footer menu problem

[lina0962]

My zencart is 1.5.8. I installed a plug-in named "footer menu". But the page titles are messed up. my site is best4future.com

I tried many time to fix it but failed. Could you please help me out? Thanks!!!

ZC 1.5.8 is a major re-write, and there are quite a few bugs and inconsistencies. You may be better off installing 1.5.7d .
HOWEVER
The errors you are referencing are most likely associated with LANGUAGE DEFINES. The code format for configuring the variables (the text displayed against the constants - eg: TABLE_HEADING_FEATURED_PRODUCTS), is not being accessed by the page code, so it is returning the constant, not the variable.
The problem is that "footer menu" module, of which the LANGUAGE file is not formatted to 1.5.8 standard.
It can be edited by a "reasonably confident novice" - by looking at other 1.5.8 LANGUAGE define files, and re-writing the code elements to match the format of the new language define php format.
The NAME of the files should follow this convention, for example - " lang.english.php "
NOTE: it might be necessary to ALSO edit other files, so that the new language PHP file is correctly referenced throughout the module.

I notice there are several "footer menu" plugins - and none of them will be compatible with 1.5.8

Thank you so much for the tips! I think it is better not to use this plug-in, since there are many files need to be rewritten.

i do not think this is correct.

my understanding is that language files written for v157 will still work fine in v158. provided they get loaded.

perhaps @swguy can clarify.

LOL WUT?

Always go with the latest. Your favorite plugin may not be ready, but you're much better off investing your time into the latest version.

Go to the support thread for the footer plugin you want (or check all of the footer plugins and see which one is most active).
