Footer Menu Support Thread

hardwiredtemplates:

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?

Anyone out there who may have knowledge of this.

Thanks Clyde

Clyde, hi again.

Trying to install Footer Menu on your zencart_zen template. Test site:

http://www.prom-mart.com/index.php?main_page=contact_us

Several issues:

1. Text in coluns seems mis-aligned, as if trying to align center (not for categories, though). See "Important Links", "Best Sellers", "Information" boxes.

2. For some reason, Contact Us is missing the red asterisk.

3. How might I align links in footer to align left rather than center?

4. Site would probably look a little better with a small margin at bottom, as in zencart_zen on main site as yet without footer menu:

http://www.prommart.com/index.php?main_page=contact_us

Cannot bear right now to wade through new thread, so if you have any thoughts specific to your template, thanks.

SPH

PS: I did just install the css/js minifer on test site (which does speed it up, although your template does very good out of the box.) Not sure if that affects above issues.

Okay, going through thread, above fix seems to have fixed my upper sidebox issues. And also put a small margin at bottom of page. And took out the yellowish/gold hover in links not only in footer but in other places in site.

Now, have I yet come across how some have their links left aligned rather than center aligned?

Just noticed: still have missing red asterisks Contact Us:

As for the sideboxes - zencart_zen doesn't modify any of them except for the categories.
You'll need to look at each of the sidebox templates and determine if they contain a class="centeredContent" element and delete that if you want them to be left aligned.

I believe there is a fix for the asterisks in the support thread for zencart_zen

look at each of the sidebox templates and determine if they contain a class="centeredContent" element and delete that
Or just add to your stylesheet something like

#sideboxid .centeredContent {text-align: left;}

where #sideboxid is the sidebox you want to affect.
It may work generically with

.leftBoxContent .centeredContent, .rightBoxContent .centeredContent {text-align: left;}

Thanks. The "fix" corrected my upper side box alignment problem. It was the links in the footer menu that I wanted to align left. The "fix" setting did not do it:

#footer {
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
background: url(../images/footer_bg.gif);
width: 960px;
height:112px;
clear:both;
}

Clyde, your template worked perfectly (red asterisks) before installing the footer menu. As gjh42 (I believe) mentioned earlier, the footer menu has the potential to cause unintended consequences throughout the site. The "fix" corrected my upper side box alignment problem and took out most of the link yellowish/gold hover.

But the fix still is not playing nicely with zencart_zen template. With a background color, I can see that the color slices through the middle of the copyright line, as if it's not completely in or out of the footer menu. Also, the links with the fix look crunched together.

I resorted to the original footer style menu css, with a background color, and the background only covers the top of the footer.

#footer {clear:both;margin:0;}
#navSuppWrapper {
margin: 10px 5px 0;
padding: 0;
background:#ccc;
font-weight: bold;
color: #000;
}

Otherwise, the original footer sheet has nicer text, better spacing between links and header titles, than the fix.

After several years with zencart, constantly getting beat down with mods, I was looking forward to your footer menu playing nicely with your zencartzen template - out of the box. I guess not, and I do suspect it is the template. (Most) everyone else I've looked at has a nice footer menu.

This is actually controlling the footer links' alignment:

stylesheet.css (line 426)

#navSuppWrapper {
color: #000000;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
}

Change the center to left and it behaves as desired.

Thanks! That adjusted my footer link alignment.

I went back to the footer menu sheet "fix" and it corrects most of my other issues.

I do still think that the footer text and spacing between footer headers and links look off, but suppose will have to go with what I can.

Really wish footer menu could look like one of our other sites that came with footer menu, our main site here:
http://www.findmypromdress.com/

Normally, I can cannibalize this template's footer and put on another site. Didn't work for my zencart_zen.

Clyde, still have concern with footer but will post at zencartzen template forum as I think it might be template related. sph

You can adjust the margin and padding setting to your liking

#navSuppWrapper li {margin:0;padding:0;}
#navSuppWrapper li a:link {letter-spacing:.1em;color:#444;margin:0;padding-left:2em;padding-bottom:.3em;font-size:.9em;display:block;}
#navSuppWrapper li a:visited {letter-spacing:.1em;color:#444;margin:0;padding-left:2em;padding-bottom:.3em;display:block;}
#navSuppWrapper li a:hover {letter-spacing:.1em;color:#444;margin:0;padding-left:2em;padding-bottom:.3em;display:block;}
#navSuppWrapper li a:active {letter-spacing:.1em;color: #444;margin:0;padding-left:2em;padding-bottom:.3em;display:block;}
.menuTitle {margin:0;padding-bottom:.3em;text-align:center;font-size:1.1em;font-weight:bold;}
.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;
}

Well, slap me on the head. Just noticed homepage text that IP in footer is turned off by default. I thought something was wrong with whole footer/menu.

Thanks, I may play with the margin/padding settings.

The missing red asterisks on Contact Us was apparently my operator error*. I just reinstalled zencartzen and got them back. I probably messed up with the Captcha on initial install. Not footer menu issue.

Sorry about that.

sph

*When I looked again, Contact Us was more messed-up than just the missing red asterisks. Did not look anything like it now does.

Hi SPH,

Your site look sgreat! Just wondering... how did you do the facebook/twitter icons at the bottom?

Thanks!

That template is the All business template You should ask this question in that support forum.

Hi there,

First off, nice looking addon, really adds that finishing touch.

My problem is as follows: My legal disclaimers which are in red text sits on top of the menu. Now i have searched this thread and tried the fixes that were suggested but nothing changed.

What is odd is that it looks ok on certain computers/browsers, but worng on others. For example on my laptop it looks fine, does not sit on top of the menu. On my destktop screen (24 inch) it looks ok with firefox but wrong with IE. And on someone else's laptop it also looks wrong.....any ideas?
