<historylink type="back">🠈 Back</historylink> 🠉 FAQS TIPS & TRICKS
It is a common requirement for shop owners to want additional content modules specific to their shop e.g. an additional navbar or footer content module to link to new information pages.
This is easily achieved by making a clone of an existing module that already performs a similar function.
The same process can be applied similarly to any module if required, not only navbar and footer modules.
In this example a new footer content module is made to show a link to the new information page that was made here - How to Make a New Page
This new module is made by cloning the existing cm_footer_information_links module which performs a similar function to make a cm_footer_about_us_links module
The module has a main file, a template file and a language file so a clone is made of each.
- On your local computer, find and open the downloaded and unzipped (extracted) CE Phoenix folder or download and unzip a new one.
- Go to includes → modules → content → footer
- Find the cm_footer_information_links file.
- Open the file in a file editor.
- In the file editor menu, go to Edit → Find to open the input box.
- All references to the old file name information must be changed so enter information in the input box to see this:
- There are 19 references shown.
- Change every instance of information to the new file name about_us (used here as an example) ensuring the same text case is used e.g. replace information with about_us and INFORMATION with ABOUT_US.
- In the file editor menu, go to and click File → Save as...
- Enter the new file name (about_us) and click Save
