Removing links from footer - Prestashop 1.6

gracenote · June 21, 2014

Hi, my name is Michelle. I'm new here. *waves hello* Prestashop is awesome.

Setting up my shop has been quite the adventure in learning. It's amazing what Prestashop + a little determination + google can do to get things done.

I'm running into a problem in regards to removing links from my footer..

This is the footer:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9hi9u5y1eupn870/screenshot1.png

I want to get rid of the following links: Specials, Best sellers, New Products

As you can see here, I have them unchecked in the Configure CMS Block Module:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/nfitn3cdjwshbhs/screenshot2.png

Am I going about this the wrong way? I'm lost!

Also, I'm not quite sure how to get rid of the link to "SEO from Move Marketing" from the very bottom edge of the site. Any thoughts?

Thank you for your time and patience with a newbie!

Hello

Sometimes this does not work, I don't know why, anyway to resolve your problem go to:

Your Shop/themes/default-bootstrap/modules/blockcms/blockcms.tpl

and round line 73 {*Comment out*} these lines of code

<h4>{l s='Information' mod='blockcms'}</h4>

{if !$PS_CATALOG_MODE}

{*<li class="first_item">

<a href="{$link->getPageLink('prices-drop')|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" title="{l s='Specials' mod='blockcms'}">

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

</a>

</li>

{/if}

<a href="{$link->getPageLink('new-products')|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" title="{l s='New products' mod='blockcms'}">

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

</a>

</li>

{if !$PS_CATALOG_MODE}

<a href="{$link->getPageLink('best-sales')|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" title="{l s='Top sellers' mod='blockcms'}">

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

</a>

</li>*}

{/if}

{if $display_stores_footer}

<a href="{$link->getPageLink('stores')|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" title="{l s='Our stores' mod='blockcms'}">

{l s='Our stores' mod='blockcms'}

</a>

</li>

{/if}

Didn't work for me. I've never "commented out" code before. I looked at tutorial on how to do it. Perhaps I messed up there?

Below is the code for the module.

Thanks Paul!

I could be wrong, but I think Paul expected you to know how to comment something out. It's pretty tedius, so he I think he might have just used the {* and *} to show you which lines to comment out - I don't think those characters are actually the "comment out" characters.

It's a little complicated, because the comment out characters differ between HTML and CSS files. In a CSS file the comment code is:

/* comment */,

and you cannot comment out more than one section at a time (i.e. you can't nest comments). But in an HTML file, the comment code is:

I think (I'm no expert) that you can nest comments in html files

<!-- here is one comment

-->

If that is true (and someone who really knows this stuff will have to verify it) then Paul wanted you to put in this:

{if !$PS_CATALOG_MODE}

<!-- <li class="first_item">

and then go down and put in this:

</li> -->

{/if}

That would have commented out the whole section inside the "IF" command.

Of course, I could be totally wrong - I'm not a programmer. But that's what I would have interpreted his statement to mean.

What I don't understand is how that would impact the footer. Unless I'm misunderstanding, this seems to be code related to when the shop is in catalog mode. But perhaps your shop IS in catalog mode. We will have to wait for Paul to explain, I think.

I wish I could be more help.

Hello again

You have used

I have just done this again using  and it works

http://screencast.com/t/1B1rj5pvuy

You have made these changes to the correct CMS module, their are two

Paul

gracenote · June 21, 2014

Hmmmm.... I'm stumped. As you can see, I merely replaced Paul's {* and *} with these comment symbols I pulled up from an online tutorial,  (I assumed that's what I was supposed to do.)

Anyway, I pasted that particular chunk of code below that I added the symbols to.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate your help.

Hello again

and you have changed the correct CMS module?

Paul

gracenote · June 21, 2014

Hi Paul,

The module I have been using is BLOCKCMS

The file I made changes to is:

blockcms.tpl

-Michelle

Paulito · June 21, 2014

Hello

the reason I ask is that their are two CMS modules

Your Shop/modules/blockcms/blockcms.tpl (incorrect)

Your Shop/themes/default-bootstrap/modules/blockcms/blockcms.tpl (correct)

Paul

gracenote · June 21, 2014

Oh! Wow! I think that's my problem.... let me verify... hopefully I will return with a good report!

gracenote · June 21, 2014

Awesome!! That was my mistake right there... I had edited the wrong module!

Thanks Paul for your time and patience with me and for helping me resolve this.

Have a great day!
