I have done this on my site: I should do a tutorial about this next week.

<div id="footer">
                <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/page/general/faq/" target="_self">Faq</a>
                <!-- IF settings.enable_tellfriend OR settings.enable_invites -->
                    {anchor:url1="invitefriends/",url2="index.php?m=invitefriends",name="core|menu_invitefriends"} |
                <!-- ENDIF -->
                <!-- IF settings.enable_feedback -->
                    {anchor:url1="contactus/",url2="index.php?m=contactus",name="core|menu_contactus"} |
                <!-- ENDIF -->
                    {anchor:url1="page/tos/",url2="index.php?m=pages&p=tos",name="core|menu_tos"}

Hi I am hoping someone can help me out also on adding a FAQ page and Site Map page link to the bottom of my site, I am using "Soft Green".

I have created a new FAQ page in cp

However when I open the footer.tpl I only see the following code, I am having trouble locating which tpl file contains the footer links, hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

<script type="text/javascript">$('a.tooltiplink').ToolTip('tooltipbox');</script>
<script type="text/javascript">$('a.toolpiclink').ToolTip('toolpicbox');</script>
</body>
</html>

password= go to ---> Control panel - settings - automation.
there can you find the password you have set in cron url.

<div id="footer">
                <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/page/general/faq/" target="_self">Faq</a>
                <!-- IF settings.enable_tellfriend OR settings.enable_invites -->

Okey but I have give you the code here above ... now I don´t understand that you mean.
you should change it in /templates/softgreen/footer.tpl you must replace the code in you footer.tpl with this new one. and I must tell you some knowledge in html needs to understanding how it work. we can help you but you must have little knowledge self to change it in footer.tpl but we can give you some idea how it work.

<a href="http://www.your-domain.com/index.php?hp=1&m=cron&s=password" target="_self">Site map</a>

you must have you own cronurl if you not have it I can´t help you. instead of =password" you should write you own cronurl. It is not the same for all sites. go to ---> Control panel - settings - automation.
there can you find the password you have set in cron url. replace password with you own cronurl.
I link to the post you name "cryptic" there you can read about sitemap to get a idea about how it work.

Hello Gugu

When you change the footer template - Where is this template located on the host control panel? - I have never really accessed this before and if you can tell me what to click on to get there I would most appreciate it and will learn from that for next time.

Also if one makes changes should one make a copy of it and keep two in the root (one adjusted and one unadusted or will that confuse things.

Perhaps the copy on my PC of vld software which was downloaded in zip format is enough protection as backup. Or do I need to backup my 'control panel changes' once the site is ready to go.

Thanks!
