Remove Information Sidebox & put links in Footer?

This sounds so straight forward and yet, I'm at a loss for where to start. Is this do-able (hahah.... in Zen, it should be right?)?

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Once I know how to do one, it should be straight forward to do the rest.

Turn the sidebox off in admin -> tools -> layout boxes controller

to add links to the footer try here in the tutorials/FAQ

There is no need to handcode links to put in the footer when you can turn on the EZPages footer Menu.

You still have to include (hand code) the EZpages internal links so that they show up in the footer.

Thanks Clyde.

I went to look at this tutorial you linked but it's for the header logo?

I want to get rid of the "Contact Us", "Shipping & Returns", etc.

If you read the tutorial closely I think it says something like:

we will use tpl_header.php in this article but the same technique is used for tpl_footer.php.

Also as Kim pointed out; you could use the internal link functionality of EZpages to add the links and turn on the EZpages footer.

I found the problem - there was no reference to the footer so I did a search on the tpl_footer.php you mentioned above and I found the correct FAQ. :D

Am working on this as we speak. Thank you! I knew it had to be here somewhere.

I am "Lost" on this one...

I wish also to move all the information (sidebox links) to the footer.

In admin>Tools>EZpages

I see "privacy notice" listed but not "conditions of use", "site map" but not "contact us" etc...

How do I add the links to this menu in order to enable adding to the footer?

So do I create a new EZ page for "conditions of use" in admin>Tools>EZpages>new file and then what about the pages defined in Define Pages Editor?

Ok, I got "contact us" into the footer using the above link.

But thats where the trail goes cold...

Unless a page is already in the In admin>Tools>EZpages

you must hand code a link into the tpl_footer

like contact us in the above link:

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

I do not know the zen href link code (. zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, '', 'SSL') for the other terms:

Shipping & returns, conditions of use, and Newsletter Unsubscribe.

I have searched for these terms and found : BOX_INFORMATION_SHIPPING etc....but am unsure of the their true FILENAME or correct coding:unsure: I guess I could copy the url and paste in as an external URL, but that doesn't seem to be the correct way.

Found the correct file names : /includes/modules/sideboxes/MYTEMPLATE/information.php

and have copied

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

to

etc...

For the benefit of others I am posting: kim was right....There is no need to hardcode....as I finally figured out: if you want a link in the footer, copy the post store url ex: index.php?main_page=conditions and create a new page called "Conditions" and paste url in the Internal Link URL: under the html box in the ez page admin....and place in the footer on this page...sometimes the easy way can be elusive...

Just wanted to say a quick thanks to dharma for posting the solutions as it plus OPTION 2 of https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=234 helped solve soemthing I have been stuggling with for many many hours!
