    help question Remove Information Sidebox & put links in Footer?

    This sounds so straight forward and yet, I'm at a loss for where to start. Is this do-able (hahah.... in Zen, it should be right?)?

    Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Once I know how to do one, it should be straight forward to do the rest.

    to add links to the footer try here in the tutorials/FAQ

    There is no need to handcode links to put in the footer when you can turn on the EZPages footer Menu.
    Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

    Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

    You still have to include (hand code) the EZpages internal links so that they show up in the footer.

    Thanks Clyde.

    I went to look at this tutorial you linked but it's for the header logo?

    I want to get rid of the "Contact Us", "Shipping & Returns", etc.

    If you read the tutorial closely I think it says something like:

    we will use tpl_header.php in this article but the same technique is used for tpl_footer.php.

    Also as Kim pointed out; you could use the internal link functionality of EZpages to add the links and turn on the EZpages footer.

    I found the problem - there was no reference to the footer so I did a search on the tpl_footer.php you mentioned above and I found the correct FAQ.

    https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=234

    Am working on this as we speak. Thank you! I knew it had to be here somewhere.

    I am "Lost" on this one...

    I wish also to move all the information (sidebox links) to the footer.

    In admin>Tools>EZpages

    I see "privacy notice" listed but not "conditions of use", "site map" but not "contact us" etc...

    How do I add the links to this menu in order to enable adding to the footer?

    So do I create a new EZ page for "conditions of use" in admin>Tools>EZpages>new file and then what about the pages defined in Define Pages Editor?

    Ok, I got "contact us" into the footer using the above link.

    But thats where the trail goes cold...

    Unless a page is already in the In admin>Tools>EZpages

    you must hand code a link into the tpl_footer

    like contact us in the above link:

    <?php if (DEFINE_CONTACT_US_STATUS <= 1) { ?>
    <li><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, '', 'SSL') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a>'; ?></li>
    <?php } ?>

    I do not know the zen href link code (. zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, '', 'SSL') for the other terms:

    Shipping & returns, conditions of use, and Newsletter Unsubscribe.

    I have searched for these terms and found : BOX_INFORMATION_SHIPPING etc....but am unsure of the their true FILENAME or correct coding I guess I could copy the url and paste in as an external URL, but that doesn't seem to be the correct way.

    Found the correct file names : /includes/modules/sideboxes/MYTEMPLATE/information.php


    and have copied

    <?php if (DEFINE_CONTACT_US_STATUS <= 1) { ?>
    <li><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, '', 'SSL') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a>'; ?></li>
    <?php } ?>

    to

    <?php if (DEFINE_SHIPPINGINFO_STATUS <= 1) { ?>
    <li><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_SHIPPING . '</a>'; ?></li>
    <?php } ?>

    etc...
