How To Edit Footer In Magento stock

May 10, 2011 Leave a Comment

The items in the footer area are in two different locations. One part is a static block created within the magento admin area (CMS > Static Block). The other part is held in the related .phtml / .php / .xml files within the design files.

First off, the XML files

app/design/frontend/*/*/layout/page.xml
Here you will find some footer reference:

app/design/frontend/*/*/layout/cms.xml




footer_links

You can see that the footer area of each page (page.xml) adds footer links via:
app/design/frontend/*/*/template/page/html/footer.phtml
This file (footer.phtml) contains a method to get it’s children HTML as referenced in the page.xml file – ($this->getChildHtml();)
-app/design/frontend/*/*/template/page/switch.phtml
-app/design/frontend/*/*/template/page/template/links.phtml

How to SEO Your WordPress Blog

June 6, 2010 Leave a Comment

WordPress is one of the most seo friendly publishing systems today, but to get the best results you still need to tinker with it a little bit!

So let’s see what steps you need to take to modify WordPress so it will turn into a true seo CMS:

1. Permalinks structure: the default structure is no good at all – although search engines have no problem in indexing pages that have urls with variables, it’s very clear that they prefer clean urls.

The best results I have seen are when permalinks structure is set to “%postname%”, and only that. This is something to keep in mind for any site you build, WordPress or any other CMS.

2. Related posts plugin : this is good for both your visitors and the search engines. It automatically finds related posts and displays them in a list – very useful when visitors arrive on a page looking for something and they get more info on the same subject. [Read more...]
