Footer Menu Support Thread

Hi guys!
Can someone please help me?
I'm using avonlee contempo template and keep having issues with the footer.

I've created 6 ez pages (internal links to products pages), and as I try to place them in the third column of the footer, only 3 links work.

Here's the code for the 3rd column of footer_menu_defines:

/BOF Menu Column 3 link Definitions/
Define('TITLE_THREE', '<li class="menuTitle"></li>');
Define('A', '<li><a href="' . zen_ez_pages_link(3) . '"> A</a></li>');
Define('B', '<li><a href="' . zen_ez_pages_link(4) . '"> B</a></li>');
Define('C', '<li><a href="' . zen_ez_pages_link(5) . '">C</a></li>');
Define('D', '<li><a href="' . zen_ez_pages_link(6) . '"> D</a></li>');
Define('E', '<li><a href="' . zen_ez_pages_link(7) . '"> E</a></li>');
Define('F', '<li><a href="' . zen_ez_pages_link(8) . '"> F</a></li>');
Define('CONTACT','<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a></li>');
Define('SHIPPING', '<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_SHIPPING . '</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('ACCOUNT', '<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL') .'">' . HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT . '</a></li>');
/EOF Menu Column 3 link Definitions/

Define('CUSTOMER_SERVICE', '<dd class="third">

<ul>' . TITLE_THREE . A . B . E . '</ul></dd>');

A, B and E brand links work fine. When I type in C, D and F brand names into TITLE_THREE, the website goes blank.

I've assigned order #s and everything.

Why would that happen? Can someone push me in the right direction?

Here's the website https://www.nkfacial.com

Thank you.

Thank you.

If you make your ez-pages for the footer, the footer menu will automatically insert them in column 4.

Thank you for the reply.I appreciate it.

Is there any way to make ez-pages appear in 3rd column?
If they appear in column 4 only, how come 3 links work just fine and other 3 don't?

I don't see anything obviously wrong with these define statements:

Define('A', '<li><a href="' . zen_ez_pages_link(3) . '"> A</a></li>');
Define('B', '<li><a href="' . zen_ez_pages_link(4) . '"> B</a></li>');
Define('C', '<li><a href="' . zen_ez_pages_link(5) . '">C</a></li>');
Define('D', '<li><a href="' . zen_ez_pages_link(6) . '"> D</a></li>');
Define('E', '<li><a href="' . zen_ez_pages_link(7) . '"> E</a></li>');
Define('F', '<li><a href="' . zen_ez_pages_link(8) . '"> F</a></li>');

So I'm not sure why they wouldn't display.

No, column 4 was set up to display the ez-page links.

Is it possible that C, D and F are reserved names in PHP? What happens if you change the constant names to BRAND_C etc.?

Do you have any new myDebug error logs in /cache/?

Would it be possibel to ONLY have the EZPAGE links shown in the 4th column ( important links )
And not also underneath the footerlinks in a horizontal footerbar
as you can see here: http://www.fritenglas.eu/new/index.php?main_page=page&id=4&chapter=1

And would it be possibel to make teh lines between each column longer ( as long as column 4 )

Thank you

By default this mod replaces tpl_footer.php which should have eliminated the issue you describe.

but it has not eliminated the problem, what can I do to have it deleted from the footer?

What should I look for?

Thank you

I would need to see the tpl_footer.php file you have installed in order to determine what the problem is.

This is what I use:

<?php
/**
 * Common Template - tpl_footer.php
 *
 * this file can be copied to /templates/your_template_dir/pagename<br />
 * example: to override the privacy page<br />
 * make a directory /templates/my_template/privacy<br />
 * copy /templates/templates_defaults/common/tpl_footer.php to /templates/my_template/privacy/tpl_footer.php<br />
 * to override the global settings and turn off the footer un-comment the following line:<br />
 * <br />
 * $flag_disable_footer = true;<br />

require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory('footer.php'));

<?php

?>

You need to remove the following:

<div id="navSupp">
<ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />

<?php if (EZPAGES_STATUS_FOOTER == '1' or (EZPAGES_STATUS_FOOTER == '2' and (strstr(EXCLUDE_ADMIN_IP_FOR_MAINTENANCE, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])))) { ?>
<li><?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_ezpages_bar_footer.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_ezpages_bar_footer.php'); ?></li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div> 

Alright I've installed the footer menu mod. Looks great but no matter what I do a cannot change the styling of the links (i.e remove underline, remove bold, change font type) no matter where I change nothing seems to take effect.

Please review the site at https://www.megasaveonline.com. What am I doing wrong.

open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_footer_menu.css

find the following section and make whatever changes you require.

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

#footer li a:link {color: #444;font-size:11px;margin:0;padding-left:1em;padding-bottom:.3em;line-height:14px;display:block;}
#footer li a:visited {color: #444;font-size:11px;margin:0;padding-left:1em;padding-bottom:.3em;line-height:14px;display:block;}
#footer li a:hover {color:#f27a00;background:none;text-decoration: underline;}
#footer li a:active {color: #444;font-size:11px;margin:0;padding-left:1em;padding-bottom:.3em;line-height:14px;display:block;}

Clyde thanks for the quick reply. I've changed a combination of those lines yet I can't get it to do a universal change. What I mean is for example I change the #444 in one of the lines to say #f00 then only three of the links are red and not the rest. 
Also I noticed there is no underline in the code above(Except the hover) yet the links on the site are ALL underlined:frusty:

Maybe something else is controlling the look of the footer links. I am attaching an image of what I am seeking.

Thanks for your hasty reply

look at your stylesheet.css

a:link, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a {
	color: #2b2b2b;
	text-decoration: underline;
	}
 
a:visited {
	color: #2b2b2b;
	text-decoration: underline;
	}

a:hover, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a:hover, #navMain ul li a:hover, #navSupp ul li a:hover, #navCatTabs ul li a:hover {
	color: #2b2b2b;
	text-decoration: none;
	}

a:active {
	color: #2b2b2b;
	}

I've commented out that entire section from stylesheet.css yet ALL the links are STILL underlined. I know I a bit new to this but can you please elaborate a little more I've exhausted my options.:frusty:

I think you might want to check with the author of the template to see if they have any suggestions.

The HTML/CSS default for links is underlined, so unless your template (like the stock template) specifically changes this, it will happen even when there is no mention of underlining.

Add to this rule in stylesheet_footer_menu.css

#footer li a:link {color: #f00;font-size:11px;margin:0;padding-left:1em;padding-bottom:.3em;line-height:14px;display:block;text-decoration: none;}

Just to report back that did get rid of the underlines and I just included my other styling in the same area including selecting the font.

So reporting back success... Thanks guys

Ok little problem I have in the footer links. The about us link is going to a "page not found" It was not even showing about us but I managed to get it there in the english.php file but cannot find where to edit the link. The site is https://www.megasaveonline.com

Any help?
