It appears that you are missing some of the language files.

make sure you've changed ALL of the YOUR_TEMPLATE folders to match the name of your custom template and that you've uploaded the following files:

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/footer_menu_defines.php
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_footer_menu.css
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer_menu.php
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_ezpages_footer_menu.php

I've copied content from footer_menu_defines.php and paste it into english.php file and seems to show up correctly now. I'll now refine to my liking.

Thanks for your help.

I am trying add newsletter subscribe onto the footer menu. I add this code right above the unsubscribe.

Define('SUBSCRIBE', '<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_SUBSCRIBE) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_SUBSCRIBE . '</a></li>');


But it doesn't work. It shows a "BOX_INFORMATION_SUBSCRIBE" on the footer menu. How to edit the code?

Thanks!

Have you defined this in the language file

includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php

define('BOX_INFORMATION_SUBSCRIBE', 'Subscribe');

Hello, Clyde

Thank you for the tip! I got it right!

Another question, I want to show replace the "Quick Links" column with non-link information, such as logo, business address, and phone number.

How to edit the code to make it happen?

open includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/footer_menu_deines.php

/*BOF Menu Column 1 link Definitions*/
Define('TITLE_ONE', '<li class="menuTitle">Quick Links</li>');
Define('ADDRESS', '<li>nl2br(STORE_NAME_ADDRESS)</li>');

Define('QUICKLINKS', '<dd class="first">

I'm not familiar with the template you are using on your site so I'd be guessing, but It appears that some of the settings in the footer_menu.css (in particular the <ul><li> declarations) may be affecting some of those specified in the stylesheet.css.

You might want check with the template designer.

I am trying to change the color of the links in the footer menu to 663300. Right now the links are silver. I have read through the thread and tried everything and I just can't seem to figure out how to do it. Right now this is the footer_menu.css

#footer {clear:both;margin:0;
}
#navSuppWrapper {
border:1px solid #ccc;
margin: 10px 0px 0;
padding: 0;
background:none;
font-weight: bold;
color: #000;
}
dl {margin: 30px 0 3px 0;padding:0;clear:both;height:79px;width:100%;
}/*Adjust the height and width of the menu*/
dt {margin-bottom:.3em;font-weight:bold;}
dd {margin:0;padding:0;float:left;width:24.3%;background-color:#f6e2dd;}/*Column width of the menu - currently set for 4 columns*/
ul {margin:0;padding:0;list-style: none;}

li {margin:0;padding:0; }
li a {color:663300;margin:0;padding-left:2em;display:block;}
li a:hover {background:#f6e2dd;}
.menuTitle {margin:0;padding-bottom:.3em;text-align:center;font-size:1.1em;}
.first, .second, .third {border-right:1px dotted #000;}
#siteinfoLegal {
margin:0 auto;
padding: .5em 0 0;
font-size: 0.9em;
text-align:center;
width:100%;
line-height:normal;
clear:both;
}
#siteinfoLegal a {padding: 0 0.5em 0 0.5em;color: #000;font-weight:bold;white-space: nowrap; }
#siteinfoLegal a:hover {color: #000;}

This is the website.
