changing the footer/copyright section

I want to add some additional information in the copyright section of the footer, but can't figure out where to do that. Can anyone tell me which file I need to modify?

Re: changing the footer/copyright section

in includes -> templates -> YOUR_TMPLATE -> common -> tpl_footer.php

Find:

<!--bof-navigation display -->
<div id="navSuppWrapper">
<div id="navSupp">
<ul>
<li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>

And just comment it out.

Re: changing the footer/copyright section

define('FOOTER_TEXT_BODY', 'Copyright © 2003-2006 <a href="http://www.zen-cart.com" target="_blank">Zen Cart</a>. Powered by <a href="http://www.zen-cart.com" target="_blank">Zen Cart</a>');

I'm trying to add another line below this but get a parse error.
You can't change one thing without getting an error.

Also, I told my client we need to keep the Powered by but what about the copyright? I couldn't also change any text without getting an error.

What do I do or where do I go to add another line at least?

Re: changing the footer/copyright section

You should be able to do something like this.

define('FOOTER_TEXT_BODY', 'Copyright © 2003-2006 Your Company Name. Powered by <a href="http://www.zen-cart.com" target="_blank">Zen Cart</a><br />whatever text you want goes here');

If you are using a stock template with the included graphics you must leave the copyright. If you make a custom template and use your own graphics you may change the copyright.

Shops that wish to be listed in the Zen Showcase must leave Powered by Zen Cart in the footer for identification.Leaving the Powered by Zen Cart is advantageous to both you and Zen Cart because a relevant reciprocal link can help you with search engine rankings. In the event you do not wish to be listed in the Zen Showcase, Powered by Zen Cart may be removed, but it may not be changed.

Re: changing the footer/copyright section

Thanks Clyde.
It had to be the <br /> because I just used <br>.

Kuroi. I changed the graphics and everything so I guess the answer is yes.

Thanks, Steve

Re: changing the footer/copyright section

I have changed the Footer Copyright to:

define('FOOTER_TEXT_BODY', 'Copyright © 2003-2006 <a href="deleted URL" target="_blank">My Company</a>. Powered by <a href="http://www.zen-cart.com" target="_blank">Zen Cart</a>');

what I would like to know is how to replace the original deleted URL with an email link to "My Company".

Re: changing the footer/copyright section

Hi Ajeh

Instead ... why don't you make that a link to the Contact Us ...

Link is to me as I am the template designer and nothing to do with site activity or site owner. Not too worried about spam bots as my mail server is heavily filtered.

BTW was the Acrobat/Secure PDF info useful to you?

Re: changing the footer/copyright section

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=That Zen Template thingy you did">Though under the circumastances you described, I'd link to your own site rather than an email address. Avoids spam, and gives you an incoming link, not to mention who would take seriously anybody doing any form of web design who appeared not to have a site of their own?

Re: changing the footer/copyright section

Hi kuroi

Thanks for the reply and good point about the website link had not considered that,
however,

who would take seriously anybody doing any form of web design who appeared not to have a site of their own

I am not a web designer or developer, my main activity is as a Network/PC systems Technician and my own website is designed mainly around this field, however that may change in the future as I am getting more requests to deal with websites just recently.

But for now I would like to keep enquiries for the two seperated just to monitor the situation, I can always change this at a later date, as I keep a record of all Link ststuses.

Re: changing the footer/copyright section

If you mean the Zen cart banners at the bottom of the page go to:

Admin > Tools > Banner Manager

Move the following section in your tpl_main_page.php to the bottom. Whether you move the </div> that comes immediately afterwards, will depend upon the effect that you want to create.

Re: changing the footer/copyright section

I'm sorry, my response to you appears to gotten truncated. Odd. But you've managed to work out perfectly what I was going to say anyway. Well done.

However there is still a problem. Although your site looks OK in Internet Explorer, it looks broken in better browsers such as Firefox and Opera. This is because your table containing the links starting with "Funeral Home Info" has hard-coded widths that are greater than the width that you have set for your page. Here's the relevant code from your table> <table cellSpacing="10" width="992" border="0">

<tr> <td>width="970"><b><font face="Arial" color="#99cc99" size="2"><center> <p><strong><a href="http://www.funeralhomeinfo.com/">Funeral Home Info</a></strong></font><strong><font face="Arial" size="2">The bits in red red should be deleted.

This will make your site robust and cross-browser compatible, but also narrower. If you them wish to make it wider, let me know and we'll do it in a way that works properly in all browsers.

Re: changing the footer/copyright section

I corrected that part. Thanks for your help. **How can I reduce the side margins? ** Thanks again
