Editing the Footer

[Guest]

Hey. I've been toying with forum code for awhile now. I want to add headers and paragraphs to the Footer and start "orginizing them" but im not sure how to do it. I'm not experienced in PHP but i do not HTML/CSS. I've looked at Core - Font - Global - Footer but the code is a mix of several things.

 

Anyone can advice me how i can add Headers, Paragraphs, links and such in HTML inside the forum in an easys way or there is no way for me to avoid it and employ/use the expertise of PHP programmer?

Just add your html into globalTemplate (either before or after)

		<footer id='ipsLayout_footer' class='ipsClearfix'>
			<div class='ipsLayout_container'>
				{advertisement="ad_global_footer"}
				{template="footer" app="core" group="global" params=""}
			</div>
		</footer>

If you want to add to the footer template (e.g. for links) then just add as per normal html ... usually within an li tag and find similar in the footer template

Trial and error mainly ... depending exactly what wanting to do

Remember though ... every update you will have to revert the template and upgrade then re-add your changesd

What do you mean? I need to delete the changes i did for the Footer code then reapply it ? WHy is that? Is there way around it?

Also does this forum have any grid system like bootstrap i can use to create 5 grids in footer?

Also thanks for your help guys. Its been invaluble.

Are you looking to create something on this line?

This is still in a test stage with a few minor responsiveness issues I need to work out

Reason being because updates make changes to templates (maybe not all but there will be changes ... otherwise no need for updates ... it has always been that way with updates) ... if you have made changes to a template then the upgrade will not update it ... it is left for you to update either as how I suggested or add whatever update changes there are to a template manually

Possible hooks may work I have no idea as beyond my expertise

@Woodsman very nice

I have a couple of these themes, and they have a footer grid built in.  Easy to configure in the ACP.

Great themes too.
