Login to your OpenCart admin panel. In your browser address bar type http:\/\/yourdomain.com\/admin<\/strong>. If you have installed your Opencart under a subfolder “store”<\/strong> for an example the above URL will change to http:\/\/yourdomain.com\/store\/admin<\/strong>. Login using your username and password.<\/p>\r\n

We will edit footer links and copyright notification.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

The footer links and copyright notification should be edited in footer.tpl<\/strong> file which is located under \/catalog\/view\/theme\/themeXXX\/template\/common<\/strong> folder<\/p>\r\n

You should edit it using any PHP\/Code editor<\/p>\r\n

First column<\/strong> is displaying Information\/Content<\/strong> pages<\/p>\r\n

\r\n<div class=\"column col-1\">\r\n\t<h3><?php echo $text_information; ?><\/h3>\r\n    <ul>\r\n    \t    <?php foreach ($informations as $information) { ?>\r\n    \t\t<li><a href=\"<?php echo $information['href']; ?>\"><?php echo $information['title']; ?><\/a><\/li>\r\n            <?php } ?>\r\n   <\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/pre>\r\n
You can edit them in OpenCart admin panel. Navigate to Catalog > Information<\/strong>. Here one can edit Information\/Content<\/strong> pages.<\/p>\r\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n
2nd, 3rd, 4th and copyright columns<\/strong> are displaying links which are defined in footer.tpl<\/strong> file<\/p>\r\n
Second column code:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
\r\n<div class=\"column col-2\">
\r\n  <h3><?php echo $text_service; ?><\/h3>
\r\n    <ul>
\r\n        <li><a href=\"<?php echo $contact; ?>\"><?php echo $text_contact; ?><\/a><\/li>
\r\n        <li><a href=\"<?php echo $return; ?>\"><?php echo $text_return; ?><\/a><\/li>
\r\n        <li><a href=\"<?php echo $sitemap; ?>\"><?php echo $text_sitemap; ?><\/a><\/li>
\r\n    <\/ul>
\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/pre>\r\n
Third column code:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
\r\n<div class=\"column col-3\">
\r\n\t    <h3><?php echo $text_extra; ?><\/h3>
\r\n    <ul>
\r\n    \t<li><a href=\"<?php echo $manufacturer; ?>\"><?php echo $text_manufacturer; ?><\/a><\/li>
\r\n        <li><a href=\"<?php echo $voucher; ?>\"><?php echo $text_voucher; ?><\/a><\/li>
\r\n        <li><a href=\"<?php echo $affiliate; ?>\"><?php echo $text_affiliate; ?><\/a><\/li>
\r\n        <li><a href=\"<?php echo $special; ?>\"><?php echo $text_special; ?><\/a><\/li>
\r\n    <\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/pre>\r\n
Fourth column code:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
\r\n<div class=\"column col-4\">
\r\n    <h3><?php echo $text_account; ?><\/h3>
\r\n    <ul>
\r\n        <li><a href=\"<?php echo $account; ?>\"><?php echo $text_account; ?><\/a><\/li>
\r\n        <li><a href=\"<?php echo $order; ?>\"><?php echo $text_order; ?><\/a><\/li>
\r\n        <li><a href=\"<?php echo $wishlist; ?>\"><?php echo $text_wishlist; ?><\/a><\/li>
\r\n        <li><a href=\"<?php echo $newsletter; ?>\"><?php echo $text_newsletter; ?><\/a><\/li>
\r\n    <\/ul>
\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/pre>\r\n
Copyright column code:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
\r\n<div id=\"powered\"><?php echo $powered; ?><\/div>\r\n<\/pre>\r\n
$text_contact, $text_return, $text_sitemap, $text_manufacturer, $text_voucher, $text_affiliate, $text_special, $text_account, $text_order, $text_wishlist, $text_newsletter and $text_powered variables are displaying the text in footer menu and defined in language files.<\/p>\r\n
Store title that is displayed in footer copyright notification can be changed via the admin panel: System->Settings->Your Store Name->General tab->Store Name<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
Language file for the footer is called footer.php<\/strong> and is located in \/catalog\/language\/english\/common<\/strong> folder<\/p>\r\n
Edit the file using any PHP\/Code editor<\/p>\r\n
\r\n<?php
\r\n\/\/ Text
\r\n$_['text_information']  = 'Information';
\r\n$_['text_service']      = 'Customer Service';
\r\n$_['text_extra']        = 'Extras';
\r\n$_['text_contact']      = 'Contacts';
\r\n$_['text_return']       = 'Returns';
\r\n$_['text_sitemap']      = 'Site Map';
\r\n$_['text_manufacturer'] = 'Brands';
\r\n$_['text_voucher']      = 'Gift Vouchers';
\r\n$_['text_affiliate']    = 'Affiliates';
\r\n$_['text_special']      = 'Specials';
\r\n$_['text_account']      = 'My Account';
\r\n$_['text_order']        = 'Order History';
\r\n$_['text_wishlist']     = 'Wish List';
\r\n$_['text_newsletter']   = 'Newsletter';
\r\n$_['text_powered']      = 'Powered By <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opencart.com\">OpenCart<\/a> %s &copy; %s';
\r\n?>\r\n<\/pre>\r\n
Here we can see all the variables which are used in footer.tpl<\/strong> with theirs values.<\/p>\r\n
To change Contacts<\/strong> to Contact Us<\/strong> one should edit the following line of code:
\r\n$_[‘text_contact’]      = ‘Contacts’;
\r\nand change it to
\r\n$_[‘text_contact’]      = ‘Contact Us’;\r\n<\/p>\r\n
To add external or internal link to the footer menu we should edit \/catalog\/view\/theme\/themeXXX\/template\/common\/footer.tpl<\/strong> file.<\/p>\r\n
E.g. to add link to http:\/\/google.com to second column we should locate the code for 2nd column in footer.tpl file<\/p>\r\n
\r\n<div class=\"column col-2\">
\r\n\t\r\n    <h3><?php echo $text_service; ?><\/h3>
\r\n    <ul>
\r\n    \t\r\n        <li><a href=\"<?php echo $contact; ?>\"><?php echo $text_contact; ?><\/a><\/li>
\r\n        <li><a href=\"<?php echo $return; ?>\"><?php echo $text_return; ?><\/a><\/li>
\r\n        <li><a href=\"<?php echo $sitemap; ?>\"><?php echo $text_sitemap; ?><\/a><\/li>
\r\n        <\/span>\r\n    <\/ul>
\r\n    <\/span>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/pre>\r\n
Copy the last line of code:<\/p>\r\n
\r\n<li><a href=\"<?php echo $sitemap; ?>\"><?php echo $text_sitemap; ?><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/pre>\r\n
Add a new line and paste the code we have copied. Please edit it as follows:<\/p>\r\n
\r\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/google.com\">Google<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/pre>\r\n
