How do I...



add more links in the footer portion of BV5 and how do i get the text to display?



I have tried doing this in the styles.css file. However you can only move the positioning of the footer links in this file.



I have tried doing this in the Footer.ascx file and it works and creates the hyperlink but on the home page it does not show the text(I have attached a word .doc file screenshot to show what the problem is) however if you rollover you can see the link in the status bar or IE 7 browser per the code below:

[color=red><%@]<%@ Register Src="../../Controls/CustomPagesDisplay.ascx" TagName="CustomPagesDisplay"
TagPrefix="uc2" %>
<%@ Register Src="../../Controls/PoweredBy.ascx" TagName="PoweredBy" TagPrefix="uc1" %>
<div id="footer">
<div id="footernavmenu">
<ul>
<li>
<asp:HyperLink ID="lnkHome" runat="server" NavigateUrl="~/Default.aspx"/></li>
<li>
<asp:HyperLink ID="lnkCart" runat="server" NavigateUrl="~/Cart.aspx"/></li>
<li>
<asp:HyperLink ID="lnkSearch" runat="server" NavigateUrl="~/Search.aspx"/></li>
<li>
<asp:HyperLink ID="lnkSiteMap" runat="server" NavigateUrl="~/Sitemap.aspx"/>
</li>
</ul>
<uc2:CustomPagesDisplay id="CustomPagesDisplay1" runat="server">
</uc2:CustomPagesDisplay>
</div>
<div id="footercopyright">
Copyright 2005-2006 BV Software LLC/ Daniel's Mod</div>
<uc1:PoweredBy ID="PoweredBy1" runat="server" />
</div>[/color]


I even went further into the Footer.ascx.vb file and made changes there, still unable to get footer text to show up on homepage per the sample code below:

[color=red>Imports]

Partial Class BVModules_Themes_Bvc5_Footer
Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl[/color]

[color=red> ] lnkHome.Text = Content.SiteTerms.GetTerm("Home")
lnkHome.ToolTip = Content.SiteTerms.GetTerm("Home")[/color]

[color=red> lnkCart.Text] lnkCart.ToolTip = Content.SiteTerms.GetTerm("Cart")[/color]

[color=red> ] lnkSearch.ToolTip = Content.SiteTerms.GetTerm("Search")[/color]

[color=red> ] lnkSiteMap.ToolTip = Content.SiteTerms.GetTerm("SiteMap")[/color]

[color=red> ] If DirectCast(Me.Page, BaseStorePage).UseTabIndexes Then
lnkHome.TabIndex = 10000
<FONT color=red>lnkCart.TabIndex = 10001[/color]
lnkSearch.TabIndex = 10002
lnkSiteMap.TabIndex = 10003

End If
End If
End Sub
End Class




If anyone has encountered this problem, possibly direct me on how I should be doing this, or even if the approach I am using is incorrect please let me know. I have been trying to figure this out for the past two days.





Thank you,

Dan

I have selected the BVC5 "Aurora" theme. that is currently the selected one. I am modifying it to suite my needs.


Why would I have to compile the site? How would I go about doing that?



I have not adde the site Term "CART" to the list of site terms; is this in the BV admin menu somewhere or in the BVC5&gt;Themes folder and has to edited in a file manually?



Thank you for your response and your help on this.



Look forward to reply back on this,



Dan

Chris,



Thank you very much. Your reccomendation has helped greatly!

I appreciate all your valuble time and consideration,

Dan.



note: Also, just an FYI, I am having to add additional terms to make it work even though there are premade terms. I can't figure out why that is. It seems when I manually edit the files that retrieve the site terms and add new site terms the pages recompile on their own. However I think it should do that with the premade terms as well, but I get compiling errors whenever I use them. Do not know if that makes sense.
