Create a new footer controller, a new footer view and new footer language files, let's call them footer_home
Best way is to copy and adjust the contents of the current ones:

Code: Select all

catalog/controller/common/footer.php
catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/footer.twig
catalog/language/XX/footer.php

in catalog/controller/common/home.php you change the footer construction call from

Code: Select all

$data['footer'] = $this->load->controller('common/footer');

Code: Select all

$data['footer'] = $this->load->controller('common/footer_home');
