Footer at Bottom of page

liamb2001 · #1 05-29-2008, 08:05 AM

Hiya guys, ive decided to have a go at designing a new template for my xcart site and ive run into a little problem, i have read the editing guide from here but must be doing something wrong.

I have managed to do a lot of my design by myself editing the tpl files etc, placed my background but i intend on having a shaped graphic at the bottom and i cannot for the life of me figure out where im supposed to put the code.

Sorry for my diagram but ive created this to try to explain what i mean

http://www.collectif.co.uk/samp1.jpg

I have used the text "FOOTER" to show show what i mean.

All i require is to be able to pout the text from inside the white area (blue arrow) to outside the white area (red arrow)

I have tried putting it in skin1/bottom.tpl at the end with no luck and i have also tried it in rectangle_bottom.tpl & powered by but i cannot seem to get it outside the box.

Its probably really simple but i just need pointing in the right direction of the file im supposed to edit please

any help would be appreciated

Liam

With this file everything is fine.

Try after these lines inserted your text and after that - cleaning cache (http://yourdomain.com/xcart/cleanup.php).

PHP Code:


		
			
{if $active_modules.Google_Analytics ne "" && $config.Google_Analytics.ganalytics_code ne ""}
{include file="modules/Google_Analytics/ga_code.tpl"}
{/if}

If that does not help, give a link to your store with already pasted some text (which is above). I would look where the error occurred.
