CMS Made Simple Forums

Have just installed CMSMS and XAMPP on a thumb drive.I am experimenting with changing templates etc to see how they all work.

I want to change the footer text. Not the Global stuff, have done that, just the normal footer content. In Admin, I go to Content/Pages then Home and open the template I am using. Just the main site template. All it shows is the main content text not the footer text. What I need to find if possible is what shows up in Page Source - the html bit so I can change the footer text.

Thanks.

The thumbdrive part should be irrelevant, If the site is working, it's working.

You can edit your footer in the global content block 'footer', you'll find it under 'content' -> 'global content blocks'

I've already been there - I changed the copyright notice but there is a whole heap of text I want to get rid of and I can't find it anywhere. I am using a copy of the template that is the default when first installed but am changing it. The footer is huge and contains a whole bunch of links. I have reduced it in size but the links are still showing.

are you talking about the Menu-links that show in the footer. Then remove the {menu} calls in the footer area in the template....

The template has everything. In this case, it has some sort of {menu} call at the bottom as Ronny mentioned. The best way to debug this type of thing is to go into the template and start commenting stuff out. Inevitably, you will find what section of the template is generating the HTML you are looking for.

Thank you both - this is exactly what I wanted to know.
