The following tutorial is going to show you how to manage header and footer links in PrestaShop 1.5.x templates.<\/p>\r\n

PrestaShop 1.5.x. How to manage footer and header links<\/a><\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. \r\n

    Log into your PrestaShop admin panel and navigate to Modules -> Positions<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

    \"image1\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  2. \r\n

    Here you should search for \u2018Top of pages\u2019<\/strong> position and check which module is used to display header links.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  3. \r\n

    That would be Permanent links block in our case.<\/p>\r\n

    \"image2\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  4. \r\n

    Connect via FTP to your domain and navigate to themes\\themeXXX\\modules\\blockpermanentlinks<\/strong> folder, where themeXXX is the theme you have installed. Here you should edit blockpermanentlinks-header.tpl<\/strong> file using any code editor.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  5. \r\n

    The following lines of code display header links:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n<ul id="header_links">\r\n<li><a href="{$link->getPageLink('index.php')}" class="header_links_home">{l s='home' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li id="header_link_contact"><a href="{$link->getPageLink('contact', true)}" title="{l s='contact' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}">{l s='contact' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li id="header_link_sitemap"><a href="{$link->getPageLink('sitemap')}" title="{l s='sitemap' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}">{l s='sitemap' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li id="header_link_bookmark">\r\n<script type="text\/javascript">writeBookmarkLink('{$come_from}', '{$meta_title|addslashes|addslashes}', '{l s='bookmark' mod='blockpermanentlinks' js=1}');<\/script>\r\n<\/li> \r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/pre>\r\n
    Each line of code represents one menu element. E.g. This line is displaying Sitemap menu element:<\/p>\r\n
    \r\n<li id="header_link_sitemap"><a href="{$link->getPageLink('sitemap')}" title="{l s='sitemap' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}">{l s='sitemap' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/pre>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  6. \r\n
    You should remove line of code in case you would like to delete some menu element, or you should add a new line of code if you would like to add a new link to menu.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  7. \r\n
    Foe example, we will add a link to Specials page to header links section. URL to Specials page is http:\/\/domain.com\/index.php?controller=prices-drop<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  8. \r\n
    You should edit themes\\themeXXX\\modules\\blockpermanentlinks\\blockpermanentlinks-header.tpl<\/strong> file using any code editor.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  9. \r\n
    Search for the following code:<\/p>\r\n
    \r\n<ul id="header_links">\r\n<li><a href="{$link->getPageLink('index.php')}" class="header_links_home">{l s='home' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li id="header_link_contact"><a href="{$link->getPageLink('contact', true)}" title="{l s='contact' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}">{l s='contact' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li id="header_link_sitemap"><a href="{$link->getPageLink('sitemap')}" title="{l s='sitemap' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}">{l s='sitemap' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li id="header_link_bookmark">\r\n<script type="text\/javascript">writeBookmarkLink('{$come_from}', '{$meta_title|addslashes|addslashes}', '{l s='bookmark' mod='blockpermanentlinks' js=1}');<\/script>\r\n<\/li> \r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/pre>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  10. \r\n
    Add a new line of code<\/p>\r\n
    \r\n<li id="header_link_specials"><a href="{$link->getPageLink('prices-drop')}" title="{l s='Specials' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}">{l s='Specials' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/pre>\r\n
    right below:<\/p>\r\n
    \r\n<li id="header_link_contact"><a href="{$link->getPageLink('contact', true)}" title="{l s='contact' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}">{l s='contact' mod='blockpermanentlinks'}<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/pre>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  11. \r\n
    Let me explain the meaning of the code:<\/p>\r\n
    href=\"{$link->getPageLink('prices-drop')}\"<\/pre>\r\n
    we should insert a part of URL to the page. The part which goes right after controller=<\/em><\/strong>. That would be prices-drop in our case.<\/p>\r\n
    title=\"{l s='Specials'<\/pre>\r\n
    is the name of the button which is displayed on your site.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  12. \r\n
    Now we will check which modules are used to display links in footer of the site.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  13. \r\n
     Navigate to Modules -> Positions<\/strong> in PrestaShop admin panel and search for Footer position.<\/p>\r\n
    \"image3\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  14. \r\n
    These modules are used to display content for footer links section:<\/p>\r\n
    \"image4\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  15. \r\n
     CMS Block<\/strong> is displaying CMS pages. You can navigate to Modules -> Modules<\/strong> section, search for CMS block, Configure it and select which pages to display on the page.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  16. \r\n
    Our Stores link shows up in CMS block if Display in the footer<\/strong> option is enabled under Preferences -> Store Contacts<\/strong> section<\/p>\r\n
    \"image5\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  17. \r\n
    Categories column displays all the categories activated in Admin > Catalog > Categories<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  18. \r\n
    My account block for your website’s footer is displaying My account section. You can enable or disable that block under Modules -> Modules<\/strong> in your PrestaShop admin panel.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  19. \r\n
    My account links can be modified in \/themes\/themeXXX\/modules\/blockmyaccount\/blockmyaccount.tpl<\/strong> file,  where themeXXX is your theme folder name.<\/p>\r\n
    \r\n
