How can I change “Contact Us” to just “contact” using the same approach?

Thanks,

Peter.

app/etc/modules/Dboxx_Contacts.xml

true
local

app/code/local/Dboxx/Contacts/etc/config.xml

0.1.0

Dboxx_Contacts_Helper

app/code/local/Dboxx/Contacts/Helper/Data.php

and in local.xml trying to remove it with

cms_footer_links

thanks for the walkthrough

class Namespace_Module_Helper_Data extends Mage_Core_Helper_Abstract
{
    public function getContactsUrl() {
        return Mage::getBaseUrl() . 'contacts/';
    }
}

also, did you create a config.xml file in app/code/Namespace/Module/etc/ ? It would look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Namespace_Module>
            <version>1.0.1</version>
        </Namespace_Module>
    </modules>
 
    <global>
        <helpers>
            <module>
                <class>Namespace_Module_Helper</class>
            </module>
        </helpers>
    </global>
</config>

The <module> tag inside helpers is the lowercase name of your custom module.

I tried setting up a custom module to remove the contacts link by creating the xml fil with my Namespace_Module.xml, saving it in etc/modules/ and then creating the directory structure under code/local with my Namespace/Module/Helper/Data.php and used the above code you provided and then tried to remove the contacts link by URL helper, and it doesn’t work.

Anything I’m missing in that sequence for creating the custom module? In Config > Advanced >Advanced I see my module in the list, but the function isn’t working.

Thanks

footer_links

I’m trying to remove the CMS Static Block, but it’s removing the links.phtml sourced links instead of the CMS block:

footer_links

Thanks,
Rick

So does it mean I can do sth like to break the footer into two parts?

……
< br / >

This seems like a silly method to me….
Any thought?
Thanks.

Say you wanted to wrap your link in a span tag:

<action method="addLink" translate="label title">
  <label>About Us</label>
  <url>about</url>  
  <title>About Us</title>
  <prepare>true</prepare> 
  <urlParams helper="core/url/getHomeUrl"/> 
  <position>1</position>
  <liParams/>
  <aParams>'class="top-link-about-us"'</aParams>
  <beforeText>&lt;span class="whatever"&gt;</beforeText>
  <afterText>&lt;/span&gt;</afterText>
</action>

will make a link like this:

<span class="whatever"><a href="[HOME_URL]/about" rel="nofollow">About Us</a></span>

NOTE: that – rel=”nofollow” – won’t show up. our thing automatically adds it and i can’t get rid of it.

be

instead?
The “Beforetex” statement I am referring here…

Also what do they mean actually?
And how can I break down the footer links into two lines?
Thanks!

<action method="unsetChild"><name>cms_footer_links</name></action>

to:

<action method="unsetChild"><name>footer_links</name></action>

If you know how to make a custom module and want to get rid of JUST the contacts link:

in app/code/local/CUSTOMNAME/MODULENAME/Helper/Data.php:

public function getContactsUrl() {
        return Mage::getBaseUrl() . 'contacts/';
}

and in local.xml:

<default>
...
    <reference name="footer_links">
        <action method="removeLinkByUrl"><url helper="modulename/data/getContactsUrl" /></action>
    </reference>
...
</default>

NOTE: make sure your modulename is lowercase

This
cms_footer_links
didn’t work for me to remove the footer.

However, the real issue is with contacts (god knows why they made it so hard to change) because it will not adopt the new theme I just downloaded! Like everyone else, I really don’t want to mess with the code code so local.xml seemed like a gift from heaven – except we can’t get rid of contacts!

Any other ideas grately appreciated,

Jerry

you would create the following file:

/app/design/frontend/CUSTOM_INTERFACE/CUSTOM_THEME/layout/local.xml
