Footer Menu Support Thread

[gjh42]

Weird.. Checked with the Developer's Toolkit... No other defines use that same constant.. I created a new define as you suggested, and now "FOOTER_PAYMENTPOLICY" shows instead of "Payment Policy"..

Diva, what kind of debugging have you done for this? What do you get if you add in footer_menu_defines.php something like

echo ' Payment Policy text: ' . FOOTER_PAYMENTPOLICY; 

or

echo ' FPP ' . (defined(FOOTER_PAYMENTPOLICY)? '': ' not ') . ' defined. ';

So I've finally got a chance to look at this again.. The only troubleshooting I've done has been to try the things suggested here.. So far nothing (including the suggestion above) has worked.. **sigh**

Do you mean you haven't gotten any echoed output one way or the other? If that is the case, maybe it needs a more complicated method of giving feedback. I tried an echo for a function that was not working and got no info from it. Fortunately for that case, it just worked when I jiggled something and I no longer needed the echo.
I have seen posts about getting info into a debug or log file... would have to research to remember how that is supposed to work.

That's correct no output at all.. It's sure puzzling why this is acting so opposite of what one would expect.. I've been through this entire support thread and I haven't found anything in it that give me a clue for how to make this work.. **sigh**

I am having the same issue except mine is the Return Authorization.. (I believe it is by the same author?)
Anyway, the link works fine in the sidebox but does not show in the footer menu.

I too am banging my head against a wall because i seriously do not want to have a sidebox!

Hi all,

I'm in need of some assistance, although I have been learning CSS with a slight knowledge of HTML I decided to start an online shop.

As you can see from looking at my site www.luminousglow.com.au I have done well I believe (open to critics) Though I need help as you can see from my link there is below in my footer a white area, I have looked and looked and edited so many pictures yet I cannot source this area to black it out.

Please someone pimp my mind!

Regards
Michael

In stylesheet_footer_menu.css, you have a rule using a background image:

#navSuppWrapper {
    background: url("../images/footer_rb.gif") no-repeat scroll right bottom transparent;
    font-weight: normal;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0 0 1px;
}

This image is black but sticks to the bottom of the container and does not fill it. It (along with three other edging backgrounds) is partially concealing a white background on another element,

.body-bg .bottom-wrapper {
    background: url("../images/footer_bg_left.gif") repeat-y scroll 0 0 #EEEDE5;
}

Delete the #EEEDE5 to let the page background show through, or change it to #000000 to make it solid black.

Where did you get this footer menu from? It has a slew of nested divs and a table, which Clyde didn't use at least in any recent years. These make it all much more complicated, and are the sort of tricks that had to be used ten-fifteen years ago to accomplish what can now be done with one or maybe two divs and a couple of stylesheet rules.

http://www.pixemus.com/abagon-free-z...-template.html ?? I'm new to all this so to be honest I wouldn't know what's easy to what's hard.

Wondering if you can help me out with one more thing please?

On my http://www.luminousglow.com.au/index...e=products_new you can see that the home link image is white? I have attempted to alter this image yet nothing.. is it an image or a code.. its hard to see but there is a blue arrow associated in the white field.
