I need the footer to have a white background like the rest of the site content. How can I do that?

Hi,

This is a really good template, well done!

I would like to ask if is possible to use Fual Slimbox or Lightbox with this template? and what editing you would need to do to get it to work?

Thanks

Hi markalan

I am currenty using the lightbox feature with this template and am experiencing a problem, which is documented in this thread. the following link will explain what the problem is and a fix to the problem. However this particular fix creates another problem, (also mentioned in link) which still needs attention. jade is going to have a look at it for me when she can.

What "Nav" in the header are you talking about?

Why not use the ezpages function to add those as ezpage links in your footer?

I just checked the site using IE7, and there is nothing there.
I was using Ie6 building the site, and there are navigation buttons in the header, such as Home, My account, etc. How come they don't show up on IE7, Also I want to stritch the site white color to include the footer, how can I do that?

Glamorousshoe:

This will take more than one step, but I will try to explain it the way I did it.

Locate the fileincludes/templates/Cherry_zen/common
open tpl_header.php

Locate the following code"
if you want to add a link you can copy one of the line starting with<li> and then paste it wherever you want to add the "about us" link.

Make sure you edit the link to correspond to the about us files, for example change these 2 links

This might get confusing, you better off adding a link in the ez-pages header section.

I have been trying to move it all the way to the right but It doesn't seem to move, The closest to the right I got it was to be right after the navigation bar.

You can turn it off from the admin panel and just use the one in the side box instead!

I'd also like to put a (separate) background behind the footer -- as the font can't be seen right now.

Its on the left by standard. So just go into admin and box layout and set it on!

Hey Jade,
How come the template look is different between the IE6 and IE7. Don't get me wrong Iam not complaining"its Free" but I am just curious.

It looks much better and cleaner in IE7.

Iam having problems with displaying the border when browsing and item, Sometimes it breaks on the sides.

Do you see the same exact issues with my default install at http://www.cherryzen.jadetrue.com ?

IE6 won't display the drop shadow borders, there's more information on that in the readme.txt.

Are you talking about homedecoronline.net? I know we had this discussion before, but I answer a lot of questions and can't remember what site we're referring to.

If you are talking about homedecoronline.net, it looks like you've significantly changed the header, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Does the header menu on my test site, http://www.cherryzen.jadetrue.com show up in IE7?

The "footer" you've created is not the real zen cart footer, you've added a table. You'd have to give that table a css style name, then add a white background to that style in the css.

For example, right now you have this:

<table border="0" width="98%">

	<tr>
    	<td align="left" valign="top" width="255">
        	<a href="http://www.homedecoronline.net/">
			<img src="../includes/templates/Sami/images/logo_small.jpg" alt="Modern Home Decor" /></a>
     	</td>
    	<td valign="top" align="center">
            <a href="index.php">Home</a> | 
            <a href="index.php?main_page=page_2">About Us</a> | 
            <a href="index.php?main_page=contact_us">Contact Us</a> 
			<br />

            <a href="index.php?main_page=account">My Account</a> | 
            <a href="index.php?main_page=shopping_cart">Shopping Cart</a> | 
            <a href="index.php?main_page=checkout_shipping">Check Out</a>
			<br />
            <a href="index.php?main_page=shippinginfo">Shipping & Returns</a> 
   
            <br />

    	</td>
        <td valign="top" align="right" width="253">
        	<img  src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/bnr/horizontal_solution_PPeCheck.gif"alt="Secure Payment" /></a>

        </td>
 	</tr>
</table>

If you change it to this:

<table border="0" width="98%" id="footerTable">

	<tr>
    	<td align="left" valign="top" width="255">
        	<a href="http://www.homedecoronline.net/">
			<img src="../includes/templates/Sami/images/logo_small.jpg" alt="Modern Home Decor" /></a>
     	</td>
    	<td valign="top" align="center">
            <a href="index.php">Home</a> | 
            <a href="index.php?main_page=page_2">About Us</a> | 
            <a href="index.php?main_page=contact_us">Contact Us</a> 
			<br />

            <a href="index.php?main_page=account">My Account</a> | 
            <a href="index.php?main_page=shopping_cart">Shopping Cart</a> | 
            <a href="index.php?main_page=checkout_shipping">Check Out</a>
			<br />
            <a href="index.php?main_page=shippinginfo">Shipping & Returns</a> 
   
            <br />

    	</td>
        <td valign="top" align="right" width="253">
        	<img  src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/bnr/horizontal_solution_PPeCheck.gif"alt="Secure Payment" /></a>

        </td>
 	</tr>
</table>

Then add this to the css:

#footerTable {background:#ffffff;}

You should also fix the errors for your site:

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.homedecoronline.net%2F

This needs to be removed from your site, somehow that was added somewhere:

You also need to get rid of the:

and

That is enclosing your navMainWrapper section. (should be found in tpl_header.php)

Just getting rid of those may fix most of the errors. I don't think you are missing any </div>'s like the above link says, its just because of some faulty html.

It is on the left in the navigation bar. Did you turn it on under "tools", "layout boxes controller".

Lovely:

You can style the footer through the #navSuppWrapper tag in the stylesheet.css.

Everything Should be Fixed, Thanks again for all the help.

oops! replied on wrong message

Thanks...I would really appreciate it. Thanks for the link too.

Do you, by any chance, have a wishlist button for this template. I would gladly pay for you to make one if not. Just pm me with details.
The template is on my adult site:

Thanks again for yet another great template!

I don't have one made... can make one in the next few days.

I am totally in love with this template. I am testing a new shop with this template and I find a problem if I view the site in IE6. The left column starts after the last bit of the content. So if you content is long, you won't see any category links etc on the left side unlease you scroll down.

The test site can be view here: http://www.lampworking.nl/stempelwinkel

I found the problem. I enlarged the left column in the admin part, after I reduced it, everything works fine.
