Magento – URL links in the footer to adapt

Usually in the footer are some links to find. A few of them (here z.B. Imprint, Terms and Customer Service) come from a static block (usually “footer_links”). This can be changed quickly and easily. If, however, the other links, come to change the template, this is a little harder.

I was in my case the URL “Contact us” bring to a separate page and not the CMS Contacts by Magento (see also this post to your own contact CMS pages).

The URL of the link is found, unfortunately, not as fast as the CMS links. But if one looks, there are usually also the answer. In this case, it is an XML file, the folder

/app / design / frontend /[base or default]/[IhrTemplate]/layout

lag. And indeed, appropriately, the

contacts.xml

This must then be looked, where the link is called and it was with me in the line 31

<action method=”addLink” translate=”title label” module =”contacts” ifconfig =”contacts/contacts/enabled”><label>Contact Us</label><url>contacts</url><title>Contact Us</title><prepare>true</prepare></action>

I wanted, that the link to my CMS page “contact” (without s) points and they have therefore converted into the:

<action method=”addLink” translate=”title label” module =”contacts” ifconfig =”contacts/contacts/enabled”><label>Contact Us</label><url>contact</url><title>Contact Us</title><prepare>true</prepare></action>

Then save as usual, Upload, evtl. Clear cache and then the link was changed.

Used in Magento Version 1.5.1.0 Comments? Additions? Notes? Gladly!
