The footer by default has the osCommerce image displayed in the footer. This article will teach you how to style the footer and remove the branding from your osCommerce site. Below are the steps on how to do this.

Create a footer.png image

In this tutorial, we will need a footer image to match the header and background images in the “Sunny” Theme. The image we will use in this tutorial is the one to the right. The image was designed to repeat across the bottom of the page. Once you get your footer image created, follow the steps below to get the footer to display at the bottom of your osCommerce website.

   Edit the following file with the code editor.
   

   includes/footer.php

5. 

   Comment lines 22 to 38 and delete the grid_24 class from the the footer div on line 17.
   

   The code should look like the snapshot to the right.
   

Now edit the stylesheet.css in the installation directory of your osCommerce site.

Add the following lines in the stylesheet.css:

.footer { color: #ffffff; height: 119px; margin: 20px 0px 0px 0px; padding:10px 0px 0px 0px; background: repeat-x bottom url('images/footer.png') #fff8e5; } .footer p a{ color: #ffffff; padding:0px; margin:0px; }
