Adding text to footer

Hi
I know this is probably glaringly simple, but I'd like to add some text to my footer under the copyright & powered by zencart line

I've checked out the "How do I change the Copyright message in the footer?" tutorial, but not sure how to add additional text.

thanks
S

Go into /includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php. Put your changes after > <!--eof-banner #5 display --> It is at the bottom of the file.

Add text, pics, etc.....

Thanks Straw for your reply.

My file doesn't have that statement at the bottom; this is what I have:

Not a big deal. I assumed yours had that and was just using that as a marker to look for. You don't need it. Put your text under the last </div>. You could also place text above the first <div class= > if that looks better for what you are trying to accomplish.

I would also look at your css file to determine what all those div classes are for. Modifying those might be better since so many were placed in the footer.

Post a link to your site so we can see what all you have going on and have a better insight.

Hi Straw - I'll give that a go! - thank you

here is my site for greater insight (I still have heaps to go, tho)

Thanks for your help - been on a giant learning curve ride & getting a bit brain-weary:blink:

Ignore that. I just looked at your site and those are just tied to images used to create the green background of the footer.

I like your overall look, bright and cheery.

Put your text above this last bit on the page:

.....text text text text.....

<?php
} // flag_disable_footer
?>

Thank you Straw - I'll try that out

• oh - and thanks so much for your comments :smile:
  Ditto for your site:clap:

all the best

Id like to add a few images in the footer above the IP and copyright

do I open the tpl_footer.php and add this...

<!-- Begin add paypal and cc logos -->
  <tr>
  	<td align="center" width="100%">
<!--Spam Buster added by Kelly Keeton (www.eshopping4less.com)-->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
// Change User Name and Domain Name
username="chris32882"
at="@"
domainname="themccormickshop.com"
// End of Change
document.write("<A HREF='https://www.paypal.com/verified/pal="+username+""+at+""+domainname+"'><img src='http://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/icon/verification_seal.gif' border='0'></a>")
</script>
	</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
        <td valign=top align=center><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/logo/logo_ccVisa.gif" border=0 alt=" Visa"><wbr><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/logo/logo_ccMC.gif" border=0 alt=" Mastercard"><wbr><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/logo/logo_ccDiscover.gif" border=0 alt=" Discover"><wbr><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/logo/logo_ccAmex.gif" border=0 alt=" American Express"><wbr><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/logo/logo_ccEcheck.gif" border=0 alt=" eCheck"></td>
  </tr>
<!-- End add paypal and cc logos -->

above...

<!--bof-ip address display -->
<?php
if (SHOW_FOOTER_IP == '1') {
?>
<div id="siteinfoIP"><?php echo TEXT_YOUR_IP_ADDRESS . '  ' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?></div>
<?php
}
?>
<!--eof-ip address display -->

website is below :)

I figured it out, it was quite easy after all

This is what I did

I made a PayPal Transparent logo with PhotoShop CS3 (also uploaded it to contributions)

Keep in mind you can do this for Text as well :)

I edited my stylesheet.css

Which is located in: includes/templates/CUSTOM/css

find this line in the stylesheet.css file

/wrappers - page or section containers/

right below it add the following:

#paypalcc {
	text-align:center;
}

You can put this basicly anywhere you want, but what I did is put it in the footer.

Locate tpl_footer.php in includes/templates/CUSTOM/common

Under this line <!--eof-navigation display -->

add the following code:

<!-- Begin add paypal and cc logos -->
<div id="paypalcc">
<!--Spam Buster by Kelly Keeton (www.eshopping4less.com)-->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
// Change User Name and Domain Name
username="YourUserName"
at="@"
domainname="YourShopName.com"
// End of Change
document.write("<A HREF='https://www.paypal.com/verified/pal="+username+""+at+""+domainname+"'><img src='http://YourShopName.com/images/paypal.gif' border='0'> </a>")
</script>
  </div>
<!-- End add paypal and cc logos -->

Make sure to download the logo in Contributions labled "PayPal logo with CC" and upload to your sites image folder.

Thought I would share this with everyone. Thanks for the help!

This probably wasn't a good place to post this, I should of posted this in another thread, can this be moved to a proper thread? Sorry :(

Seems relevant to me - adding something to the footer area. Thanks for contributing the modified PP logo.
