information links question

[salomonsson]

Hi!

Can anyone please tell me how to link (link codes) specific information titles to different positions in the footer.
I mean for example, in stead of putting all the information in the same box which will be in the same column,I want to put "About us" in one column, "Terms of use" in another column.

Thank you very much for your kind help.

If you need more detailed help then state the titles for each box you want together with the items that you want under each title!

Hi Mcamca!

Thank you very much for your reply. I’ve got problem with the server and have to rebuild my web. Now I come back to this point again.

I want to have four boxes in footer and I would like them to be as follows:

Under Box 1 – Company Info
4 items:
About us (original footer)
Our blogs (a new page in Information, SEO URL : i-smycken-bloggar)
Terms of use (original footer)
Sitemap (original footer)

Under Box 2 – Sales info
5 items (all 5 are new pages in Information):
Orders and delivery (SEO URL: smycken-leverans)
Payment options (SEO URL: smycken-betalning)
Money Back Guarantee (SEO URL: smycken-angerratt)
Complaint and Return (SEO URL: smycken-retur)
Personal Information (SEO URL: smycken-personuppgifter)

Under Box 3 – Customer service
4 items:
Cotact us (original footer)
Returns (original footer)
Newsletter (original footer)
Tell a friend (a new module URL: index.php?route=information/tellafriend)

Under Box 4 – Extra info
5 items:
Presenkort (original footer)
Coupons & Gift Vouchers (a new page in Information SEO URL: smycken-kuponger )
Caring for Jewelry (a new page in Information SEO URL: varda-smycken)
Ring size guide (a new page in Information SEO URL: ringar-storlek )
Lengths of necklaces (a new page in Information SEO URL: halsband-langder )

I hope that I’ve given clear information. Except for the original footer items , I need codes for those new items (marked with red color). My website is bilingual.

I tried this way:
<li><a href="http://www.i-smycken.se/smycken-leverans">Orders and delivery </a></li>
But it seems that both language shows "Orders and delivery". It doesn't change to Swedish title when in Swedish page (when click the link in Swedish footer, it goes to Swedish page. The problem is that when it's in Information Box, it shows the Swedish title. As soon as I move it to another box using the above way,the title refuse to change to Swedish).

Can you please help me? I really get stuck here! This is almost my last step in finishing my website. A lot of thanks in advance!

Hi MarketInSG !

Thank you very much for your reply. I have posted the details. In my case, what will be the codes for the links of new information pages and new modoules in footer.tpl for a bilingual website? If you can give one example of each case, then I can understand the constructure and do the rest by myself. Best regards Salomonsson

Hi MarketInSG!

Thank you very much for your tips. Yes, I've done everything and have the pages ready to use.

For example, I have this page ready: http://www.i-smycken.se/smycken-betalning
It works properly under information box. But how can I move the link of this page to Extra Box and still can show English title in English page and Swedish title in Swedish page? ( What will be the codes in footer.tpl?)

You can see very clearly my question if you go to this page. I put the same link under both Information Box and Extra Box. (the last item). When yo click English, both show "Payment options". But when you click Swedish, under Information Box, the item changes to Swedish, but under Extra Box, it still shows " Payment Option".

As it shows only general link of Information Box in footer.tpl, so I don't know how to link each independent page.

With best regards
Salomonsson

Code: Select all

<?php foreach ($informations as information) {
if ($information['href'] == "place the link of the payment option here") { ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $information['href']; ?>"><?php echo $information['title']; ?></a></li>
<?php } } ?>


use this code to replace the link under the extras column

Thanks a lot, but sorry, the link is: http://www.i-smycken.se/smycken-betalning
When I put this under the extra column:

<?php foreach ($informations as information) {
if ($information['href'] = "http://www.i-smycken.se/smycken-betalning") { ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $information['href']; ?>"><?php echo $information['title']; ?></a></li>
<?php } } ?>

It shows "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in footer.tpl on line 27".

Have I made things correct?

Thanks a lot, but sorry, the link is: http://www.i-smycken.se/smycken-betalning

Yes, you have made a mistake.
The line:

Code: Select all

if ($information['href'] = "http://www.i-smycken.se/smycken-betalning") { ?>

should be:

Code: Select all

if ($information['href'] == "http://www.i-smycken.se/smycken-betalning") { ?>

ie. in this line of code you should use == NOT =

[mcamca]

To make room for an extra column in the footer in:
catalog/view/theme/yourtheme/stylesheet/stylesheet.css
Change:

Code: Select all

#footer .column {
   float: left;
   width: 25%;
   min-height: 100px;
}

to:

Code: Select all

#footer .column {
   float: left;
   width: 20%;
   min-height: 100px;
}

You can then add another column to the footer in footer.tpl
You may also find the following useful!
To make the language change you should include the new item/s in both of the language files and define them in the controller footer.php
But a way that does not need these files changing is as follows:
In footer.tpl:
eg. for Necklaces use:

Code: Select all

<li><a href="http://www.i-smycken.se/halsband/"><?php $lang = $this->language->get('code'); if ($lang == "en") {echo "Necklaces";} elseif ($lang == "sv") {echo "Halsband";} else {echo "Necklaces";} ?></a></li>

or:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.i-smycken.se/halsband/"><?php $lang = $this->language->get('code'); if ($lang == "en") {echo "Necklaces";} elseif ($lang == "sv") {echo "Halsband";} else {echo "Necklaces";} ?></a>

if its not part of a list.
You can use the same principle for the column header or any other words.
TAKE NOTE IN THE ABOVE OF WHERE = IS USED OR ==
Tell us how you get on!
