Hi all,

I wants to add links to footer of my website. I have created footerMenu.php like;
<?php
/**
* Defines the FooterMenuPage page type
*/
class FooterMenu extends Page {
static $db = array(
);
static $has_one = array(
);
static $allowed_children = array('Page');
}
class FooterMenu_Controller extends Page_Controller {
}
?>

And added footerMenu.ss in includes;

<% if FooterMenu %>
<ul id="FooterMenu">
   <% control FooterMenu %>
      <li class="$LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title page">$MenuTitle</a></li>
   <% end_control %>
</ul>
<% end_if %>

I also had added tab in behaviour of page like show only in footer menu and trying to call in page.ss under div footer like $footermenu but it didn’t work at all for me.

Can anyone guide me where I am making mistake? What I need to add more. Plz help me I am not too good at PHP.

Thanks in advance

I took the following approach to footer links;

Create a file called FooterLinks.php and place it under mysite/code with the contents - http://pastie.caboo.se/195936
Note the line 'MyPage' => 'Page', if you want the Footer tab to appear on every Page then it will.

In Page.php add

   static $many_many = array(
'FooterLinks' => 'FooterLink'
   );

and add the following to function getCMSFields() in Page.php

      $linksTablefield = new ManyManyComplexTableField(
   $this,
         'FooterLinks',
       'FooterLink',
       array(
          'LinkText' => 'LinkText',
       'LinkURL' => 'LinkURL',
            'LinkID' => 'LinkID',
   ),
   'getCMSFields_forPopup'
   );
   $linksTablefield->setAddTitle( 'A Link' );
   $fields->addFieldToTab( 'Root.Content.Footer', $linksTablefield );

when you rebuild database you will have the tab for adding/removing and enabling footer links in the CMS.

You then need to display it in the template.
For this you could create a Footer.ss file and place it in the includes directory
This could have the following contents

<% if FooterLinks %>
<ul>
   <% control FooterLinks %>
      <li><a href="$LinkURL" id="$LinkID">$LinkText</a></li>
   <% end_control %>
</ul>
<% end_if %>

You then need to place <% include Footer %> in the main Page.ss
You can then style the list items as required.

I guess I could put this in as a recipe but it wasn't immediately obvious how I create a page in the docos. Anyone point me in the right direction?
