Hi there,

I'm a newbie to opencart and have not been able to yet find this in the documentation.

If I wanted to remove some items from the footer as described here.

Could someone please point in the direction of some documentation on how to do this? Alternatively, please tell me how to go about this?

Thanks in advance,
Michelle

Hi Michelle,

The easiest way to remove links from the footer is to edit the "footer.tpl" file in your template.

Open in your Text Editor (NotePad++) the following file:
../catalog/view/theme/[your-theme-name]/template/common/footer.tpl

Links are of this form:

Code: Select all

<li><a href="<?php echo $voucher; ?>"><?php echo $text_voucher; ?></a></li>
Simply remove the lines you don't want, Save, and Upload the file back on your server.

No errors should appear in your Error Log for removing those lines.

Please note that adding lines is not that easy, but it is ok for removing them.

Thanks again Villagedefrance. What seems a bit inconsistent to me is that I can go to Catealog > Information > and disable (About Us,Delivery Information,Privacy Policy,Terms & Conditions). But If I look for Catalog>Customer Service or Catalog>Extras etc. these do not appear in the menu.

I suppose I'm making this more for comment than anything else. The paradigm just seems a bit inconsistent to me but perhaps it because I do not yet have a deep understanding of OpenCart.

Nevertheless, thank-you for your reply (again :) )

The information pages only appear in the footer area (if you check the box to do so) unless you have add on coding to display links to information pages elsewhere.

I'm guessing that 'Customer Service' and 'Extras' are pages you've created and they would be under the 'information' link as well. The only other possibility without being able to see your site is that the theme developer has added these additional pages / features.
