[How To] Remove Powered by Prestashop form the footer and center it

[safewithyou247]

So, have you ever wondered how to change the Powered by PrestaShop link on the footer? Or, have you ever wondered, how do I get that dang footer centered? Well, this how to guide is for you.

You will need to open the following file in your fovorate text editor. (Notepad++ for me!)

Browse to "\modules\blockvariouslinks". Open "blockvariouslinks.tpl". You will see the below text.

<!-- MODULE Block various links -->

    
{l s='Specials' mod='blockvariouslinks'}

    
{l s='New products' mod='blockvariouslinks'}

    
{l s='Top sellers' mod='blockvariouslinks'}

    
{l s='Contact us' mod='blockvariouslinks'}

    {foreach from=$cmslinks item=cmslink}
        
{$cmslink.meta_title|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

    {/foreach}
    
{l s='Powered by' mod='blockvariouslinks'} PrestaShop™


<!-- /MODULE Block various links -->

Change the code to the following code (you can just copy and paste if you want).

<!-- MODULE Block various links -->

    
{l s='Specials' mod='blockvariouslinks'}

    
{l s='New products' mod='blockvariouslinks'}

    
{l s='Top sellers' mod='blockvariouslinks'}

    
{l s='Contact us' mod='blockvariouslinks'}

    {foreach from=$cmslinks item=cmslink}
        
{$cmslink.meta_title|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

    {/foreach}
    <!--
{l s='Powered by' mod='blockvariouslinks'} PrestaShop™
 -->

<!-- /MODULE Block various links -->

Thats it.

If you want to add additional links to the footer you can do it in this file. This is just a html unordered list. Make sure you dont change any of the code in "{}".

Hope it helps!

great man, thanks alot, worked fine, but what about the TEXT? "Powered By PrestaShop" does it have to remain on the page, I meen can I remove the link and the text or just the link ?!?!

it's getting confuzing, :))

Or you could just edit your global.css file and add the center code as seen below

/* Footer */
#footer {
    border-top: 1px solid #000000;
    padding-top: 1em;
    text-align:center;
    clear: both;

actually, all you have to do to center those footer links is

#footer .block_various_links {
text-align:center;
}


its bad to insert css into the html because if you forget you did that your going to spend hours trying to figure out why something doesnt work.

you dont need to do that, just unpack prestashop in another folder and find out that code line and update it into the file.
Care to make it look like the new file.

Yeah bestto get rid of the css in the page, should all be in the stylesheet.

Hi, Iam using the prestashop 1.4 beta4 and tried using your code as described in the modules/blockvariouslink/blockvariouslink.tpl but cannot find any of /blockvariouslink/blockvariouslink.tpl these files under modules.Only found blockpermanentlink. Pls help. How do I add the copyright at the footer?

In PrestaShop v1.4, the footer code has been moved to the bottom of modules/blockcms/blockcms.tpl.

You should create themes//modules/blockcms/blockcms.tpl to override the file.

Thank you for this. I will surely use it in the future.

Newb here. Correct me if I'm wrong... but my understanding is that you should not make the changes in the tpl file. The changes should be made in the global.css?

[rocky]

That's correct, though you can override module tpl files.

[nuclearholocausto]

Thanks Rocky! Will keep that in mind. I'm loving PrestaShop already!!! Been trying to incorporate a shopping cart with Joomla! for a while but always getting stuck at some point. PrestaShop is the answer!

Funny I had a friend look over my page and the centered footer was his biggest concern.

I kept trying several things in the global.css file but nothing seemed to work.

safewithyou247 had it right to begin with! Also worked to get rid of/add pages!
