Menu in footer needs repair?

http://astringofpearls.biz/

the tiny menu at the bottom of the pate is showing only "Home". I suppose I need to replace the script. What & where is the file where I can do that?

Re: Menu in footer needs repair?

those links are normally created using your EZ-pages. you can access EZ pages from admin > Tools > EZ pages ..
in ezpages window , you can create other pages and show the links in footer, header, sidebox,as well as make those pages SSL .

you can find tons of tutorial about ezpages. in FAQ/Tutorials.

I don't want to create a menu, I just want to fix the one that came with the original template. Isn't there a file that contains the script for the footer minu?

generally that file should be located in:

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php

Re: Menu in footer needs repair?

What makes you believe your footer menu is malfunctioning? Did it work before? Does it work if you switch to the Classic template? Do you have ez-pages set to display in the footer, with non-zero sort orders?

Taking your advice, the default template yielded the same problem: Footer menu shows ONLY the "Home" lin

As for your other suggestions, I don't know how to set ez-pages to display in the footer, with non-zero sort orders. Please tell me how this is done.

This is not a "problem" this is the default display for the footer in Zen Cart.

When I first installed ZenCart <3 The default included the full set of menu items in the footer. BTW, I looked into that footer file u suggested and it reffered to another file that I also inspected. Nothing I could find helped.

Right now, my footer menu is showing only "Home". That wasn't the original default, but I agree, this isn't a problem beyond my lack of experience with css/php scripting. Give me good old fashion html and I would see it for what it is. HELP

The original you're talking about used ez-pages (internal links) in the footer. You've evidently disabled these ez-pages and that is why there is only the "home" link in the footer.

go to admin -> tools -> ez-pages and check to see what footer items have been disabled. You'll see red icons for the disabled items.

There's nothing in the ez-pages section. Well, there was one where I was trying to install an SSL seal, But I deleted that.

Well, if you want links in the footer then you're going to have to create ez page internal links to the pages you want to appear in the footer.

Here's a link to one of several tutorials on using ez pages

Hey, now that worked, but is there a list of internal links like the one in the example:

<?php if (DEFINE_CONTACT_US_STATUS <= 1) { ?>
<li><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, '', 'SSL') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a>'; ?></li>

<?php } ?>

And what part of the above script represents the link?

the internal link used in ez pages would look like this:

index.php?main_page=contact_us

Re: Menu in footer needs repair?

I have ZenCart runing under EasyPHP on my laptop. Looking in at its ez-page manager, I see lots of them and all the menu items are turned on from that. What file/s should I upload to my web host's server to import those ez-pages?

ez pages are stored in the database and not in files.
