Footer Menu Support Thread

Thanks for your assistance clye, the footer now is consistent. Reason I asked to change the font family, is because I find the links a little hard to read(a bit too dark and narrow). I thought changing the font-family(since there was no bolding) would make a difference but it does not. I wanted so that its lighter and a little wider (makes it easy on the eyes). This is shown on this footer: http://www.cooltechcentral.com/. and in http://www1.macys.com/

by the way for the footer in cooltechcentral.com site is there an html code for the small greater then sign symbol before each link or is this only accomplished by an image?

Regarding moving the links, I tried the following procedure to move the link titled "Links" into another table entry(similar to what I wanted to do with the Terms of Use)

---------- Steps followed to accomplish the above---------------
In includes/languages/comstock/english.php
wrote the following declaration: define('BOX_INFORMATION_LINKS', 'Links');

Then in includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/comstock/footer_menu_defines.php
wrote the following deceleration:
Define('LINKS','<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_LINKS) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_LINKS . '</a></li>');

uploaded both files and nothing changed. I am not a programmer but I followed similar procedure to your last post for the "Terms of Use" but this seems to be just a name change, and the DEFINE statements are all there. How can I do this with a brand New undefined Link?

Many Advanced thanks for all your help Clyde..

Try making these changes in the stylesheet_footer_menu.css

#navSuppWrapper {
border:1px solid #ccc;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
background:none;
font-weight: 400;
color: #666;
width: 1000px;
height: 116px;
font-family: verdana,arial,lucida,sans-serif;

}

li a:link {letter-spacing:.1em;color: #444;font-size:9px;margin:0;padding-left:1em;padding-bottom:.3em;display:block;}
li a:visited {letter-spacing:.1em;color: #444;font-size:9px;margin:0;padding-left:1em;padding-bottom:.3em;display:block;}
li a:hover {letter-spacing:.1em;color:#f27a00;background:none;text-decoration: underline;}
li a:active {letter-spacing:.1em;color: #444;font-size:9px;margin:0;padding-left:1em;padding-bottom:.3em;display:block;}
.menuTitle {margin:4px;padding-bottom:.3em;text-align:center;font-size:1.1em;font-weight:bold;}

Alright this is getting a little frustrating, so i just made it all Italic and that seems to make it easier to read the links. We'll just leave it like that for now.

I am still struggling with re-arranging the links. These are the steps I followed in attempt to move the link "Links" under the menu title "Important links" to underneath the menu title "Quick links".

What Am i doing Wrong?:frusty:

First of all that is an external link created using EZ-pages.

In order to move it to the quick links column you will need to make the define statement like this. The highlight is the id number for that particular ez-page which you will have to change

Define('LINKS', '<li><a href="' . zen_ez_pages_link(31) . '"> Links</a></li>');

You'll then need to add this to the following definition statement

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

Thanks for all your assistance Clyde. a little tweaking and this menu is an excellent contribution.:D

Clyde,

Thank you for this module. When I add this module, it removes all of the bullets of my site. I can see that the css has this in it.

ul {margin:0;padding:0;list-style: none;}

When I remove this part, it fixes the rest of my site, but messes up the footer. Is there a way to remove the bullets from the footer and not the rest of my site?

replace the includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_footer_menu.css

with the file from the following:

Thank you for your help. That worked great.:clap:

Hi Guys!
I'm looking for a bit of assistance before I pull my hair out. I installed the module and got it working but in the process I have messed up my header.

The site is http://www.growlightexpress.com. If you check it out you will see two green bars at the top and the links "on top of each other" instead of "next to" as it was before (and there was only one green bar before the install). I can only guess at something in the css but not really sure. My skills are weak!!!

Also is there a way to change the "on mouse over" for the links in the footer and header to not be orange but the background color? Again I can only assume something with the css file but don't know how to move form there!!!

Some other info: I merged my tpl_footer file with the given tpl_footer file since I had changes in mine...I might have missed something there...

ANY help is appreciated!!!

Use the fix thats included in POST 27 above - that should take care of the problem.

OK so I figured out the mouse over part! I just removed this line from the footer css -- li a:hover {background:#FFBD3B;} -- to get rid of that part. Someday I just might learn!!

Now does anyone know why my header is using the footer css? More importantly how to fix it to be a horizontal list instead of a vertical list?
THANKS!!

open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php

find the following section of code:

and change it so it looks like this

Hi Clyde,

First, I want to mention that your footer module is amazing. I've had clients mention to me that my site "finally looks complete" lol.

But, I have a question.

Is it possible to remove the "Important Links" column, and only use 3 out of the 4 columns instead? Also, I'd like to have it centered in the page as well.

I've been fiddling with the css for a while, but I'm not sure where to look for this.

Any help would be awesome.

Cheers,

Dave

You should be able to turn the important links off by going to admin -> configuration -> EZ-Pages Settings -> EZ-Pages Display Status - FooterBar and set it to 0

If that doesn't work let me know.

for the centering open stylesheet_footer_menu.css

find the following and make the highlighted change.

dl {margin: 0 auto 3px 0;padding:0;clear:both;height:79px;width:100%;}/Adjust the height and width of the menu/

Hi clyde,

The EZ pages footer (setting to zero) worked. Adding the 'auto' to where you suggested didn't. It hasn't changed.

Let me do some work on the centering

Awesome, thanks clyde.

Sorry to add more work to your pile :)

Maybe you can also direct me quickly. I use define_pages_2 as my "about us", and define_pages_3 as "fundraising initiative".

I'm not familiar with EZ pages, for some reason it doesn't like me, but I'm wondering how to get those define pages links into my footer.

Thanks for your help

Dave

Hi clyde,

Please disregard my last post asking about define pages and EZ pages. I figured it out.
I didn't realize the sort order had to be greater than zero. Works like a charm now lol.

Still having a minor issue with the centering of the footer though.
