Footer Not Showing

Hi,

On http://www.lakeslampshades.com/ the footer is not showing up? Anyone know why this is or what file I should look in? Thanks in advance for any help!:D

Nate

Yep, your footer's not showing. The source code quits immediately after the #contentMainWrapper table. To say any more about the cause would require seeing your php code.

For starters, what kind of mods have you made/installed? The file that controls the page flow is /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_main_page.php. Do you have a customized version of this?

I do have a custom tpl_main_page.php file. The code is below. This problem cropped up while I was trying to install Simple Google Analytics. The only other mod I have installed is the User Tracking mod.

<?php
/**
 * Common Template - tpl_main_page.php
 *
 * Governs the overall layout of an entire page<br />
 * Normally consisting of a header, left side column. center column. right side column and footer<br />
 * For customizing, this file can be copied to /templates/your_template_dir/pagename<br />
 * example: to override the privacy page<br />
 * - make a directory /templates/my_template/privacy<br />
 * - copy /templates/templates_defaults/common/tpl_main_page.php to /templates/my_template/privacy/tpl_main_page.php<br />
 * <br />
 * to override the global settings and turn off columns un-comment the lines below for the correct column to turn off<br />
 * to turn off the header and/or footer uncomment the lines below<br />
 * Note: header can be disabled in the tpl_header.php<br />
 * Note: footer can be disabled in the tpl_footer.php<br />
 * <br />
 * $flag_disable_header = true;<br />
 * $flag_disable_left = true;<br />
 * $flag_disable_right = true;<br />
 * $flag_disable_footer = true;<br />
 * <br />
 * // example to not display right column on main page when Always Show Categories is OFF<br />
 * <br />
 * if ($current_page_base == 'index' and $cPath == '') {<br />
 *  $flag_disable_right = true;<br />
 * }<br />
 * <br />
 * example to not display right column on main page when Always Show Categories is ON and set to categories_id 3<br />
 * <br />
 * if ($current_page_base == 'index' and $cPath == '' or $cPath == '3') {<br />
 *  $flag_disable_right = true;<br />
 * }<br />

Thanks,

Well, since I understand Google Analytics code generally goes in the footer, that would be the file to look at (tpl_footer.php or whatever file you were putting the code in).

Looks like it was the user tracking code I am supposed to paste in tpl_footer.php

<?php if (ZEN_CONFIG_USER_TRACKING == 'true') { zen_update_user_tracking(); } ?>

Is causing the problems. When I remove it, the footer shows, but I'd still like to have the ability to track users in Zen Cart. Any solution.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.:smile:

I am having the same problems.  Did you get this resolved?
Thanks, Kim

I think I just ended up using the google analytics mod from the downloads section: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=891

Good luck!

That is what I loaded...and not seeing my footer.

Kim

To be honest with you, I have no idea how I solved this problem. Should have posted when I figured it out :blush:

Does your footer show when you remove the code that I did?

Well, I tried to take out of tpl_footer.php. I think I messed up the code because I still do not see footer.

Does your footer end like this.......

I am wondering what I messed up.
Thanks, Kim

Do you have a backup of the tpl_footer.php file?

That code looks right...

Nope...need a backup. Know where I can get one?

Thanks, Kim

Try looking in the template_default or classic folders in includes/templates maybe? Can't remember ZC file structure off the top of my head.:unsure:

Ok...Found backup in temp file. I loaded and still do not have footer file. I also found tpl_main_page. Reloaded that and still no footer.

Can anyone help? Been trying to get footer back after doing Google analytics install.

Kim

Hi Kim,
I have the same problem 'footer' don't show up. :blink:
I checked your website and it shows fine. Could you tell me how you manage to get it back.
Thanks,Bimo

In response to your pm, I haven't installed Google Analytics, so I really couldn't tell you how Kim solved her problem.

I did not realize that it showed as white in my stylesheets. As soon as I gave it some color. It was back. Somehow when I did some changes some things over-ride. Not sure exactly what happened. In FireFox, use show css and click in footer area. The developer tools are great!

Check out your stylesheet.css.
Kim

Thanks for the reply everyone, I'll give it a try on the stylesheet file:smile:

Thanks again,
Bimo
