Remove "Policy Notice" from Footer

Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering how one would go about removing the "Policy Notice" link in the footer. See the bottom of my site here: http://expediterelocation.com/

We don't currently have anything for Policy Notice so we just want to remove it.

Thanks in advance :D

Re: Remove "Policy Notice" from Footer

I don't see that in your footer did you find the solution? :smile:

It's still there in the footer. Look for "Copyright © 2010 Expedite Relocation. Designed by RTS Website Design Privacy Notice" on the bottom bar.

I've tried looking through the footer file, but I'm stumped as to where I would be able to remove that link in the code :(

Re: Remove "Policy Notice" from Footer

FOOTER_TEXT_BODY is defined in english.php, but you can use the Admin - Tools - Developers Tool Kit to search for privacy notice to be sure.

My footer text in english.php looks like this:

define('FOOTER_TEXT_BODY', 'Copyright © ' . date('Y') . ' <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '" target="_blank">' . STORE_NAME . '</a>. Designed by <a href="http://www.rtswebsitedesign.com" target="_blank">RTS Website Design</a>');

Where the heck is this "privacy notice" link coming from? Is there something that I'm supposed to switch off in the Zen Cart admin?

Re: Remove "Policy Notice" from Footer

Did you use the Developers Tool Kit ?

No I didn't. Does it make any difference though? I searched the entire website for "privacy notice" using the search function in Dreamweaver.

Re: Remove "Policy Notice" from Footer

Try the DTK and see if you get any results. I've never used Dreamweaver, so I don't know how its search works.

Re: Remove "Policy Notice" from Footer

First, check using the Developers Tool Kit, as stevesh has suggested, in the bottom input box for:
privacy

and select Catalog then click search ...

Only other place that I can think of to check is the Tools ... EZ-Pages ... as that is where in a clean Zen Cart there is a link to the Privacy Page ...

Re: Remove "Policy Notice" from Footer

i'm having the opposite problem...

i found the define_privacy.php and put my legal-eez there.

i've verified that my admin > configuration > define page status > define privacy status is set to 1 so the link and text will show...

but where do they show?

Re: Remove "Policy Notice" from Footer

The link should be in the Information sidebox if you have it enabled.

i knew it had to be something simple in the admin like this, but i'm going mad trying to find where to enable that sidebox. google and forum searches are not being helpful.

i've looked in
Admin > Configuration > Layout Settings
Admin > Tools > Layout Boxes Controller

I've even put the text "Information Sidebox" in the Tools > Developer Toolkit and can't find a logical reference there either.

Re: Remove "Policy Notice" from Footer

ok. when in doubt, search in the browser page. i found it in Admin > Tools > Layout Boxes Controller. i had seen the item on this page for the "More Information" sidebox when looking earlier and thought... 'well, where the heck is the just plain 'ol Information one?'. i didn't see it below the 'fold' of the page.

I had the same problem. It seems to be template specific but I bet yours is in the same place.

I found mine in includes/templates/template_name/common/tpl_footer.php

Look for something like this:

<div class="copy"> <?php echo FOOTER_TEXT_BODY; ?>** <a href="<?=zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY)?>"><?=BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY?></a>** <?php if (SHOW_FOOTER_IP == '1') { ?> <div id="siteinfoIP"><?php echo TEXT_YOUR_IP_ADDRESS . ' ' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?></div>
