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?

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.

TIA TOM :cool:

You need to change this as indicated by the highlight:

li a {color:#663300;margin:0;padding-left:2em;display:block;}

I have made the change but it the color has not changed.

tcjay:

I have made the change but it the color has not changed.

open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css

find the following and make the highlighted change

#navSupp ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
padding: 0em 0.5em;
margin: 0;
color: #663300;
white-space: nowrap;
}

Thank you for your help. Jackpot. It works.!:clap:

I think I am almost there. I put all of the code fro the footer into one css file so Icould keep track of what was going one. One last question.......... How oudl I move the text down. I thought I would add a top margin but I could never figure out where to place it. TIA Tom

you can adjust the margins in these declarations:

/eof bottom navigation/
dl {margin: 32px 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:299px;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; }

hello clyde. is there a way we can add pdf files for the 4th column of the footer. something that when clicked would give my customers a pdf file. if so, how do we edit the footer file? thanks!

column 4 uses ez-pages.

I would suppose that you could create links to your pdf files using ez-pages.

I am considering to incorporate your footer menu into a Cold Steel template but having difficulties merging an unmodified includes/templates/cold_steel/common/tpl_footer.php file with the tpl_footer.php file contained in the Footer Menu mod.

Seeing you are the author of both mods I'd like to put my house on it that you have a ready made merged file handy.

Any chance posting this merged file?

Thanks

Just replace the tpl_footer.php file that comes with the cold steel template

with the

tpl_footer.php file from the footer menu mod.
