Footer Menu Support Thread

His loss will be felt on this forum. I have several of his add ons installed - Testimonial Manager is a personal favorite.
Condolences to Clyde's family, and to the forum.

That's too sad! Clyde was my most favorite contributor of all times. He did so much for all of us without expecting anything in return. I grieve with his family.

Hello.

I would like to completely delete the "Information" column in the footer and use only the 3 remaining columns.

I edited includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apparel_boutique/footer_menu_defines.php and was able to remove most of the "Information" column, but am still left with the word "INFORMATION" in light grey text.

Does anybody know how to completely delete the "Information" column so that I am left with only 3 columns?

Thanks!

Will this work on v1.5?

Since it is used in a number of picaflor-azul's templates which are current for v1.5, I expect it is ready to go.

Is there a way to format the footer/footer menu so that it floats up under the inner content and alongside the sidebar(s)? My client wants the footer menu moved up because he is going to have a long left sidebar with lots of sideboxes. Thanks in advance!

You would need to move the code that builds the footer menu to different files. This could likely be done in several ways; probably the simplest would be to call the footer menu file from /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_main_page.php.

Where would the call to the footer menu be placed? I tried moving the call to footer.php up above the right sidebar code and just below the center column code and it placed the whole footer and footer menu up top with the welcome and product sections overlapping it. If I moved it anywhere else the footer content wouldn't display at all.

This is the site I'm working on: http://www.thecamarosuperstore.com, ZC 1.3.9h and the template is a heavily modified version of All Business by Picaflor Azul.

Thanks,

I want to use the Footer Menu solely for important links, i.e. column four - but I want all four columns to accept "important links". In other words duplicate column four capabilities into columns 1,2&3 which should give me at least 20 or so external links. The links will be links to my other sites. I currently have 32 sites "live" (only one is e-commerce, most are monetized with 100 pages or less, some have 3-400 pages) and I expect to have another 30 or so up and running within a few months.

I want to have external links to these sites on my page footer - well at least say 20 or 30 - without the footer becoming a page in its own right!! On these other sites in my CMS I can get about 20 links very nicely laid out in the space of 950px (page width) x 30px (footer height).

How can I achieve a similar thing using Footer Menu or any other Footer mod for my Zen site??

All help appreciated.

cheers,
Mike

Okay so on this site: http :// clientmybeautyaddiction . overthehillweb . com I have a Payment Policy page. The page link shows up up fine in the Information sidebox, but in the footer menu it behaves as if I am missing a language file. I am a little stumped as to why..

Here's what the third column code in the includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/MY_TEMPLATE/footer_menu_defines.php file looks like:

/*BOF Menu Column 3 link Definitions*/
Define('TITLE_THREE', '<li class="menuTitle">Customer Service</li>');
Define('SHIPPING', '<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_SHIPPING . '</a></li>');
Define('PAYMENTPOLICY', '<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PAYMENTPOLICY) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PAYMENTPOLICY . '</a></li>');
Define('PRIVACY', '<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY . '</a></li>');
Define('CONDITIONS','<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS . '</a></li>');
Define('CONTACT','<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a></li>');
//Define('ACCOUNT', '<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL') .'">' . HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT . '</a></li>');
Define('ACCOUNT', '');
/*EOF Menu Column 3 link Definitions*/

Here's the code from the includes/modules/sideboxes/custom_template/information.php file:

  if (DEFINE_PAYMENTPOLICY_STATUS <= 1) {
    $information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PAYMENTPOLICY) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PAYMENTPOLICY . '</a>';
  }

What gives?? What did I do wrong??
