How to add links in footer?
 

I want to add a link in the footer and have added it in the file customer->bottom.tpl; however, it is not clickable. Can anyone tell me how to make it clickable?

Below is a sample link as how I added it in the bottom.tpl:

=====================================
{*
$Id: bottom.tpl,v 1.2 2008/08/21 09:52:43 max Exp $
vim: set ts=2 sw=2 sts=2 et:
*}
<div class="box">
<div class="subbox">
<div class="left">{include file="main/prnotice.tpl"}</div>
<div class="right">{include file="copyright.tpl"} <a href="http://www.samplelink.com">samplelink</a></div>
</div>
</div>
======================================

Have you tried adding it in the copyright.tpl?

Re: How to add links in footer?
 

Yes, but still no luck!

I tried to add the link to prnotice.tpl and copyright.tpl, but it is still not clickable!

Re: How to add links in footer?
 

I further discovered that the links in prnotice.tpl and copyright.tpl are clickable in the admin control panel but not in the shop front. Any suggestion to solve the problem?

Re: How to add links in footer?
 

could possibly be a layout issue with a container on top the the botom.tpl since it is absolutely positioned.

try playing with the z-index of whatever CSS you have controlling the bottom portion of your site.

did you try to change the z-index of #footer to 999?

#footer{
z-index:999;
}

Re: How to add links in footer?
 

in the css file find #content-container { and remove z-index

It works perfect. Thanks a lot.

your welcome.

Ok, I tried to do the same thing, when adding to bottom.tpl it only affects the admin. I added a link to copyright.tpl and it removes the text that the { smarty } tags generate for the copyright text and only displays the link. However like mentioned above its not clickable (I'm assuming the z-index fix will work here), but how do I get my copyright notice back as well?

I'm not replacing, deleting or commenting out, just insert a link above it and having <br/> to separate the lines.

Any ideas?

post the code please. and url.

Re: How to add links in footer?
 

I decided to not edit bottom.tpl as it only changes the Admin footer it seems.

This is my copyright.tpl.

are you editing skin1/bottom.tpl or skin1/customer/bottom.tpl

Re: How to add links in footer?
 

I think you should change the height of the bottom box, you also might need to change the bottom margin of center-main I think.

Re: How to add links in footer?
 

No, I'm only editing ../copyright.tpl as that is the only .tpl that affects the public footer it seems.

I just increased #footer height: 39px; to 50px; in main.css (more than enough to fit 2 lines of text) and it didn't fix my problem, it just made the footer larger without including the copyright text. I'm thinking adding the link where I did is somehow overriding the copyright text, but why?

***********MAKE SURE YOU BACK UPI YOUR FILES FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!

you will need to change the following CSS. change height and line-height to whatever larger number you would like. maybe 80.

#footer .subbox {
position: relative;
border-top: #ffd30d 1px solid;
background: #f4f5f7 none;
color: #667d92;
height: 40px;
vertical-align: middle;
padding: 0px;
}
#footer .subbox .left {
background: transparent none;
position: absolute;
left: 12px;
top: 0px;
line-height: 40px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
#footer .subbox .right {
background: transparent none;
position: absolute;
right: 12px;
top: 0px;
text-align: right;
line-height: 40px;
vertical-align: middle;
}

then here

#content-container {
clear: both;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
padding-bottom: 39px;
margin-top: 140px;
}

change padding to match topm number.

Thanks for trying, but it did absolutely nothing :).

did you clear browser history?

Re: How to add links in footer?
 

did you change it back?

Re: How to add links in footer?
 

No it's still there with edits.

I did a forced refresh.

Re: How to add links in footer?
 

what CSS file are you editing?

I look at your CSS and it still says the 4o pixels

Re: How to add links in footer?
 

main.css

Using Firebug, it shows that I have edited it.


Maybe you need to clear your cache ;)

Re: How to add links in footer?
 

Ok, seems like the padding was pushing it below the page for some reason, I've gotten it to show now, however, there's a gap between the link and the copyright text, even though I only put in one non-breaking space. I'll have to figure out why the gap is so large and then look into getting your z-index fix to work.

Thanks for the help Ashley, as always, much appreciated :)
