Footer Menu Support Thread

DivaVocals:

People share ideas of how they use or modify mods all the time.. It's how the community shares and learns.. and sometimes some ideas make their way into mods.. I do not think Clyde will mind at all if you share how you have used his excellent contribution..

Clyde,

Do you mind if I share with how I modified your mod?

Hi,

I have a question regarding the footer menu. Is it possible to make it dynamically show the sub-category links? In other words, how can I display all brand names at the footer menu without hard coding? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have a question regarding the footer menu. Is it possible to make it dynamically show the sub-category links? In other words, how can I display all brand names at the footer menu without hard coding? Thanks in advance.

The footer menu was designed to provide "page" links not product/manufacture links.

If you want to show subcategory/brand names you'll need to re-write the mod so that it can make database queries to the appropriate tables in order to pull that information.

Hi, I am having some problem with About Us link in Footer Menu. I have attached the screenshot. Can anyone please help me to make this work?

I can't get the About Us link to work. It shows BOX_Information_About_us and points towards /index.php?main_page=FILENAME_ABOUT_US&zenid=ag4kbpvp6avf2vofaoj9vj2g87

I have modified the footer menu to my needs but this one is causing much problems for me.

Please some one help.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Downloading and installing the About Us Page contribution (from the downloads section) should take care of the problem.

Hi clydejones,

Thank you verymuch for your timely help. You saved my life.

Thank you once again.

Does anyone have an idea of how I would place the following code in the footer_menu_defines.php to work properly?

Define('BOOKMARK','<li><a href="javascript:bookmarksite('Kremer Publications', 'http://www.kremerpublications.com')">Bookmark this site!</a></li>');

It is for bookmarking the site.

Thank you.

try this:

Define('BOOKMARK','<li><a href="javascript:bookmarksite(\'Kremer Publications\', \'http://www.kremerpublications.com\')">Bookmark this site!</a></li>');

https://www.kremerpublications.com/index.php

jeskremer:

https://www.kremerpublications.com/index.php

is there any additional script(s) associated with the bookmark link?

Yes...

It is in the tpl_header.php:

<script type="text/javascript">

/***********************************************
* Bookmark site script- © Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
* Visit Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code
***********************************************/

/* Modified to support Opera */
function bookmarksite(title,url){
if (window.sidebar) // firefox
	window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url, "");
else if(window.opera && window.print){ // opera
	var elem = document.createElement('a');
	elem.setAttribute('href',url);
	elem.setAttribute('title',title);
	elem.setAttribute('rel','sidebar');
	elem.click();
} 
else if(document.all)// ie
	window.external.AddFavorite(url, title);
}
</script>

jeskremer:

Yes...

It is in the tpl_header.php:

Its in the wrong place then.

It should be in the <head> </head> section of the site.

The easiest way to accomplish that is to

create a new php document (jscript_bookmark.php) copy the script into that file. save it. and then upload to your server

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/jscript/jscript_bookmark.php

I have made that change.

Hi,

seems your site is down.

A adding the footer menu (which looks awesome) it aligned my sidebox text to the center. I've removed the files 4 now & my sidebox content is no longer centered. Thus we know the source of the issue.

Has anyone ever resolved this?
