In catalog/includes/footer.php

Just comment out

<?php echo $counter_now . ' ' . FOOTER_TEXT_REQUESTS_SINCE . ' ' . $counter_startdate_formatted; ?>

to this:

<?php //echo $counter_now . ' ' . FOOTER_TEXT_REQUESTS_SINCE . ' ' . $counter_startdate_formatted; ?>

You need to understand you are trying to get rid of two things:

 

1. the footer i.e. is the bar and its contents

2. the bottom banner.

 

You can get rid of the banner by not having any! Just go into Admin. Banner management and get rid of them (probably only has the oscommerce one anyway)

 

In regards to the footer, don't call the function at all. You can leave it but just don't use it! Find out what calls it (can't remember off hand) and remove the call.

 

HOWEVER, before you remove the footer, have another think. It is best practice to havea footer which provides some navigation. If your form takes more than one screen you should not leave your user dangling once they scroll down. Making them scroll back up is poor practice.

thanks for your answer.

 

in fact my question is not how to supress the footer it is more on how to supress it without having the info box display messed up.

 

If you take a look at my online shop http://alexisdenervaux.free.fr/catalog/

 

you can see that the info box display is messed up when you first reach the site (if you do a refresh it s ok)

 

as soon as i activate a banner the display is fine again

Hi

 

I looked at your site and I saw a gap on the LHS info boxes before the final box like it was reserving space for something and the heading of the Promotions box was wider than the box. I did a refresh and it stayed the same. But if I looked at different pages and returned to the home page it was fine.

 

I have a 17" monitor.

 

I see you still have the footer displaying (footer.php) but no banner at all. Plus you must have deleted the copyright and powered by text from the language file.

 

What happens if you restore the banner - just use the text instead of the image to say "Copyright 2003"? Does it have any effect?

 

I have to say I love the colours of your site. Very sosphisicated. Great pictures too.
