Re: Adding links to the Footer Page

HI,

Yes I have done this and it dose not work all I have is the "Powered by xoops" gif at the bottom. I know how to remove the gif but it then leaves a RED "X" where the missing image used to be.

Going to the System -> Preferences -> Meta Tags and Footer and modify the "Footer" setting dose NOT appare in the footer. This is what I have in the foot at the moment:

Please advise.

Advise: make sure that in your themes/your_theme_name/theme.html the place where your footer should be (at the bottom of the file), the following tag is there (and not the footer texts) <{$xoops_footer}>.

I'm also having the same problem.

I added the:

<{$xoops_footer}>

to my theme.html, and changed the content in the Meta Tags and Footer under preferences. But I when I refresh the home page I still get the "Powered by xoops" gif.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

yup - the default setting is for smarty to cache your theme files, so your site is probably using the cached version of your theme, not your changed one. Try removing all files from the templates_c directory.

HI

I'm still haveing problems make the info I added in the footer box in the admin section show on the footer.

I have clearded the Templetes_C directory out, how often should this be cleared out? and is it like the Temperory intenet file clean up on your PC?

Do I need to back up the files in the Templets_C folder?

Re: Adding links to the Footer Page

I haved gon to themes/default/theme.html and opend this HTML (not in an editor) and have the following:

<{$xoops_module_header}> <{$xoops_banner}>

<{foreach item=block from=$xoops_lblocks}> <{include file="default/theme_blockleft.html"}> <{/foreach}> <{if $xoops_showcblock == 1}> <{foreach item=block from=$xoops_ccblocks}> <{include file="default/theme_blockcenter_c.html"}> <{/foreach}>
<{foreach item=block from=$xoops_clblocks}> <{include file="default/theme_blockcenter_l.html"}> <{/foreach}> <{foreach item=block from=$xoops_crblocks}> <{include file="default/theme_blockcenter_r.html"}> <{/foreach}>
<{/if}>
<{$xoops_contents}> <{if $xoops_showrblock == 1}> <{foreach item=block from=$xoops_rblocks}> <{include file="default/theme_blockright.html"}> <{/foreach}>


Where do I, and what do I need to do to correct this code so that it picks up the footer message I added in the admin section?

Please help.

That worked. Thanks for the help.

davidtillyer -
I'm still a beginner, but I added:
<{$xoops_footer}>
to the footer in the theme.html code.

Then changed the content in the admin area.

Then deleted all the files out of the template_c directory (like ackbarr said to do)

Refreshed the page, and the content that I entered in the admin area appeared in the place where I put the <{$xoops_footer}> tag.

Hope this makes sense.
