Flexible Footer Columns Menu for 1.5.x

rbarbour:

It is!

I played with the CSS a little and added some ID's, SEE Demo, I don't have time right now to post changes but will do in the next few days.

Cool :smile: Looking forward to it :smile:

v1.2 being uploaded today!

Sorry for the delay in releasing v1.2 but I wanted to make it as easy as possible.

New Features:

• Responsive, preset to stack rows/columns at a min-width of 480px
• Allows for Multiple Rows
• Allows Different # Columns per Row (Very Cool :cool:)
• Added ADMIN config to set Rows & Columns layout (no CSS tweaks needed!)

Upgrade is minor.
Only changes the template and css file for the catalog side and adds a new config for the Rows & Columns layout.

DEMO is here!

Version 1.2, see a DEMO and DOWNLOAD from here till approved.

Ok I feel silly asking this question but I seem to be missing something.
Why is my footer menu going vertical instead of horizontal? I am putting in the columns by number (1, 2 etc).
I have left some as they are showing up on the site....scroll down and you will see them on the right hand side, that should be column 1 and column 2 and column 4

and a bunch of add ons - do you need the list?
Thanks

I am wondering if anyone has been able to move or display the Mailchimp sidebox addon into the flexible footer menu? I'm using zc version 1.5.1 with the lovely winchester new template.
many thanks

Looks like you have CSS/JS loader installed - disable and see if it works, if so you may need to rename the stylesheet_flexible_footer_menu.css file

Yes you can!

Create a new page

open /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/templates/tpl_flexible_footer_menu.php

find:

$pages_id = $var_linksList[$i]['id'];

add below it:

if ($list_col == 5) {
      require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_mailchimp_sidebox.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_mailchimp_sidebox.php');

$col .= '<li>' . $content;
} else {
//show nothing 
}

Replace 5 with the column id assigned when you created a new page.

That's it!

Greetings rbarbour,

I have your awesome add-on installed (v1.1) and it works great! However, I just installed IH4 and the page titles under the admin area for IH4 is being overwritten by the flexible footer page title. The problem seems to be with the placement of the define statements within the admin dir structure.

It seems neither IH4 or Flexible Footer follows the placement of where the defines should go according to the "Programmatically adding a menu item to the v1.5.0 (and later) admin" document here:

Once I adjusted according to the above document for both IH4 and Flexible Footer Columns, all admin page titles seem to be playing well together!

Am I off base on this? or does it make sense? :blink:

Thank you! :D

Thank you,

I will take a look and update the next release.

Hi

I have Flexible Footer Columns Menu Version: 1.2 installed on zen cart 1.5.3 with an unmodified responsive classic template. I first noticed there are no instructions in the installation package. The INSTALL_DOCS folder does have a file, Flexible_Footer_Menu_Installation.htm but does not contain instructions. I renamed the responsive_template_default folders to my template name (assuming that was the thing to do), installed the files and sql patch.

tools > Flexible Footer Menu were left as default installation settings

configuration > ZCA Flexible Footer Menu Configuration

I have the settings

Assign 4 Columns to a Row: 1,2,3,4

The columns were stacking vertically with no styling.

I noticed the modules stylesheet wasn't loading and was named as stylesheet_flexible_footer_menu.c.CSS. I renamed that to stylesheet_flexible_footer_menu.css and that let the stylesheet load. The columns are still stacking vertically though. I don't have css/js loader installed.

Am I missing something obvious? :-)

ok, progress. I found my way to http://zcadditions.com/3/

There I found your footer menu columns are floating left controlled by the stylesheet, responsive.css

I added

[class*="col"] {
float: left;
margin-left: 5px;
}

to my stylesheet_flexible_footer_menu.css and that allowed the columns to line up 4 to the row. Off to play and hopefully that's all that was needed. Thanks for this module and other modules and templates you make available :-)

Hi I had it in mind that I would have a heading centered on two columns. If this were html I would just merge the two columns in the row and justify center. and below it I would have two columns of Links related to the header.
I'm a newbie and my developer installed this module and invited me to have at it, so if I have to modify code it will be my first time! Also how do I make suggestions as to font style size etc. It seems to have a mind of its own.
Thanks much.

You can create 1 column

Sort-Order 1 & Assign Header

Then create new page Sort-Order 11 & use HTML to create columns, using the same class already included in the plugin.

HTML Code:

This way these HTML columns are also responsive and stack at min-width.

Hope that helps!

I updated Demo: http://zcadditions.com/3/

You'll notice column 9 now has 4 column within it

Thanks, I see it works but I'll have to run it by my developer to use it since I don't really get how to "install" the code.

Also I have an odd problem. I have a graphic in column 1 that automatically left justified, then I put a graphic in column two that automatically center justified even though its associated text left justified. Is there a way I can control this since I would like them all to left justify except perhaps the Headline text above the links you can see the two graphics here at the bottom of the page....
http://adamrdesign.com/yogatest/index.php?main_page=page_2

Also As long as I'm asking.... I would love it if the words could go under not over the graphics (I think it would be more like a caption and thus more intuitive for users)

Also How do you get a column to go under the other columns and not next to them. Mine all seem to want to be shoulder to shoulder.

Thank you for pointing this out, yes .col was carried over from the responsive CSS and I forgot to add to the plugin CSS file for those not using a responsive template built with the Responsive DIY Template Default for 1.5.x

I will ad this to the next version.

Thanks again!

For one of my clients I had to convert this module to multi language. If people are interested I could make it into a new package

Already Done, all added via admin, just finding the time to upgrade and upload.
