How to edit footer links in magento?

[shunavi]

Change the footer links in magento is quite easy but I believe many people who get started with magento will need it. Here is a quick tutorial, hope it will help you guys.

The first step is to login to the administrator back-end of the store:

http://yourdomain.com/index.php/admin

If you have installed magento under a subfolder of the www root folder for an example “store” you should add this directory name before the index.php.

As we are using the default Magento template the footer links look like this:

Note that only the About Us and the Customers Service links are manageable via the footer static block.

However most of the templates available will use the same Identifier for the footer. After you have logged in the magento back-end, allow it to render completely and navigate to the CMS > Static Blocks tab:

As we are using an empty magento installation for this tutorial only the “footer_links” block is available. Now click on the name of the block and this will load the editor for it:

You have an advanced html editor enabled by default. If you would prefer to add html code you created for the footer you may disable the editor functions and use plain one via the “Show/Hide Editor” button.

After you have completed editing the links for the footer click the “Save Block” button available at the  top right corner of the page and navigate back to the front-end. You should refresh the page to see the changes you have set.

Hi,

Magento’s XML layout and template framework and the flexibility that it brings is awesome, but unfortunately it does come with its own learning curve. This can take some time getting used to if you’re unfamiliar with Zend Framework and can turn the most trivial of tasks like modifying the links in the footer of a page somewhat more involved.

So let’s have a look at template/page/html/footer.phtml

You will be able to see that this gives us the footer div and loads most of the content through:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml() ?>

This is looking for xml layout instructions with a reference named “footer”. We find one appearance in cms.xml.

<reference name="footer">
<block type="cms/block" name="cms_footer_links" before="footer_links">
<!--
The content of this block is taken from the database by its block_id.
You can manage it in admin CMS -> Static Blocks
-->
<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>footer_links</block_id></action>
</block>
</reference>

As the comment explains, this merely defines that there is a static block available, named “footer_links” and its content is defined in Magento Admin->CMS->Static Blocks.

You can change the static block that is loaded by updating the block id with the name of your block.

You can then create your list of links as appropriate in the Magento backend, the default footer block contains:

<ul>
<li><a href="">About Us</a></li>
<li class="last"><a href="">Customer Service</a></li>
</ul>

There are a couple of reasons why it’s great to edit the footer links in this way. One is that the store owner can easily change the footer at a later date without needing a professional to hand. Another, is the flexibility to add different content if you so wish, it doesn’t have to be a simple list of links.

Another block with a “footer” reference can be found in page.xml:

<block type="page/html_footer" name="footer" as="footer" template="page/html/footer.phtml">
<block type="page/template_links" name="footer_links" as="footer_links" template="page/template/links.phtml"/>
</block>

In the page/template/links.phtml file we can see a function call to $this->getLinks();

The structure for this Block is in

/app/code/core/Mage/Page/Block/Template/Links.php

Now layouts can add links to this structure. So if we take a quick grep of the layout files for block name “footer_links”, we can see what else is adding items to the footer links by the addLink method.

layout/rss.xml

<reference name="footer_links">
<action method="addLink" translate="label title" module="rss" ifconfig="rss/config/active"><label>RSS</label><url>rss</url><title>RSS</title><prepare>true</prepare><urlParams/><position/><li/><a>class="link-rss"</a></action>
</reference>

layout/catalog.xml

<reference name="footer_links">
<action method="addLink" translate="label title" module="catalog" ifconfig="catalog/seo/site_map"><label>Site Map</label><url helper="catalog/map/getCategoryUrl" /><title>Site Map</title></action>
</reference>

layout/catalogsearch.xml

<reference name="footer_links">
<action method="addLink" translate="label title" module="catalogsearch" ifconfig="catalog/seo/search_terms">
<label>Search Terms</label>
<url helper="catalogsearch/getSearchTermUrl" />
<title>Search Terms</title>
</action>
<action method="addLink" translate="label title" module="catalogsearch">
<label>Advanced Search</label>
<url helper="catalogsearch/getAdvancedSearchUrl" />
<title>Advanced Search</title>
</action>
</reference>

layout/contacts.xml

<reference name="footer_links">
<action method="addLink" translate="label title" module="contacts" ifconfig="contacts/contacts/enabled"><label>Contact Us</label><url>contacts</url><title>Contact Us</title><prepare>true</prepare></action>
</reference>

Now that you know where each of these are defined you can remove them if necessary in your theme. Of course, you have now realised that this is also a second method for adding footer links! The advantage of this method is that if all you need is another link, it doesn’t require you to go into the Admin interface to add new cms block. It all can be done in xml files rather than being in the database.

Hi,

Magento footer links are in footer static blocks. To edit footer links you have to edit the footer static blocks. First login into your magento backend. You will have to go to CMS -> Static blocks. In the identifier column search 'footer' keyword. You will find footer_links block there. All your footer links are in it. In its general tab you will find various things like Block Title, Identifier, Status, Content. You have to edit the content section. Make all the necessary changes. After making changes do not forget to clear cache.

Hope you find this helpful.

Thanks! Great Information.

The footer links may differ from template to template. You can find them in the Magento admin panel -> CMS -> Static blocks. Each Magento store includes static blocks called Footer Links.

The static blocks code looks as follows:
<ul>
<li><a href="{{store direct_url="about"}}">About Us</a></li>
<li><a href="{{store direct_url="customer-service"}}">Customer Service</a></li>
<li><a href="{{store direct_url="template-settings"}}">Template Settings</a></li>
<li class="last privacy"><a href="{{store direct_url="privacy-policy-cookie-restriction-mode"}}">Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>

and Footer List
<h4>Why buy from us</h4>
<div class="footer-col-content">
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Shipping & Returns</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Secure Shopping</a></li>
<li><a href="#">International Shipping</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Affiliates</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Group Sales</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<h4>My account</h4>
<div class="footer-col-content">
<ul>
<li><a href="{{store url='customer/account/login/'}}">Sign In</a></li>
<li><a href="{{store url='checkout/cart/'}}">View Cart</a></li>
<li><a href="{{store url='wishlist/'}}">My Wishlist</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Track My Order</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Help</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

Hope this helps !
