You can actually do this without editing anything but the footer.tpl file.
What I did was edit the structure of the footer.tpl file:-
Code: Select all
<div id="footer">
<div id="links"></div>
<div class="div1">Powered By <a href="http://www.opencart.com">OpenCart</a><br /> Your Store © 2010</div>
<div class="div2"><a onclick="window.open('https://www.paypal.com/uk/mrb/pal=W9TBB5DTD6QJW');"><img src="catalog/view/theme/ProShop2/image/payment.png" alt="" /></a></div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And then use some javascript like this:-
Code: Select all
$(function () {
$('#information a').clone().removeAttr('id').removeAttr('class').prependTo($('#footer #links'));
$('#nav a').clone().removeAttr('id').removeAttr('class').prependTo($('#footer #links'));
$('#footer a span').parent().remove();});
});
Of course I have renamed my information and categories boxes but the same could be achieved by using the first element in say a $('.box') result object.
I haven't styled it like you have but styling it is really the easy part.
I'm posting this alternative method because as template developers the less we have to touch anything outside of the template/ directory the better, for us and our clients.
If theres enough interest in this way of doing things I'll write up a full tutorial.

Would you be able to put more than just info in the footer? Can Categories go in there too? If so please do a tutorial.
Thank you

I considered the commercial mod but as it is only a single website license I will hang on for Maansy's tutorial
Or it might even be in 1.5?

Be my guest bro, or anyone would like to share their own way of reaching the same goal. I don't mind at all.
Regarding my tutorials, I will try to find time soon to do a nice write up.
If you guys can't wait, there are few commercial add ons it does the same thing I believe.
Cheers

If its my mod you want, don't worry about the single license as the only thing I ever ask is not to sell my mods on, if you want to use it for a number of sites that's fine with me. (the opencart guys might not agree with my view, but unless there are safeguards placed by the developer then it's to hard to control)
If you are a developer and make money from the sites you sell that's a bit different, but even at that, just as long as your not selling the mods individually as your own, I don't think think this is a bad thing as you have already bought the code. Only my opinion.
As a developer myself I don't mind buying other developers mods, I have done so quite a few times, but I tend to butcher them and add/remove features when required, so is that then still the code you bought, Mmm I feel a debate coming on...
Or am I wrong???
