Help getting my footer back into place?

[Guest]

Hi,

It is with interest I was reading Chemo`s thread on store speed optimisation and I tried to get rid of the banner code.

 

In this post here he suggested the following....

 

In application_top you'll find code that looks like the following around line 448 or so:

// auto activate and expire banners
require(DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS . 'banner.php');
tep_activate_banners();
tep_expire_banners();

 

Replace it with this code:

// auto activate and expire banners
#  require(DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS . 'banner.php');
#  tep_activate_banners();
#  tep_expire_banners();

 

Next, in footer.php you'll find code that looks like this:

<?php
if ($banner = tep_banner_exists('dynamic', '468x50')) {
?>
<br>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
  <td align="center"><?php #echo tep_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php
}
?>

 

Change it to this:

<?php
#if ($banner = tep_banner_exists('dynamic', '468x50')) {
?>
<!-- remove banner code
<br>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
  <td align="center"><?php #echo tep_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
//-->
<?php
#}
?>

 

I did exactly that and now my footer has totally dissapeared altogether which is strange.

 

I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this at all whilst my site has become noticeably quicker without the footer and probably more specifically the banner code I would still like the Osc copywrite still in there, and also the debug info that is displayed in the footer.

 

Thanks in advance anyone.

If anyone has any hunches or even guesses it would be appreciated.

James,

 

I don't see where the code above would result in your footer not appearing. That's the same code I use on many sites...

Neither do I Bobby but it certainly does, thanks for checking this thread though.
