Advanced Footer [ Support topic ]

[Lars Bredvig]

Hi guys,

Firstly thanks for a awesome plugin, this should really be a standard feature in IPB. 

I have question. Would it be possible to arrange the width of the columns so when going full width, columns stay directly under the width of the forum, and not as screenshot below shows. I'm trying to keep a tight look . I saw that one of your themes have this enable when going full width with the footer.. Think it was Magnum theme i saw it on. 

Could you advise on how to do this with some css perhaps?

Actually, I've just discovered your "Behemoth Them" what a nice theme mate! lots of credit for that one. I will most likely go with that one for my project, however above would still be nice to know in case I would use it on the standard IPB theme.

Hello,

Yes, its pretty easy, Just add the below css to your theme custom.css

.af_Container .af_Layout .ipsColumns{
	max-width: 1310px;
  	margin: 0 auto;
}

You might only need to adjust the width a little bit

Do you have any idea if it works well with Ehren's themes?

Hello,

Yes, It works  

It really only depends on some of ips suite css classes and id names which must and should exist on any themes out there.

@TAMAN

How do I get something like this: (that you have in the demo image of the Advanced Footer).

 

With the slopped gray bottom that it looks like it came from the Behemoth theme (I recently got the Dreadnought one), I would like to try and have something very much like the Spartac guys they did an amazing job on theirs ~

In plugin Colors tab you can enable Seperate Rows setting and then you can add a different color to top row 

 

It is same as Spartac website, the only thing i might see it different is the background colors which is transparent on his website

I just tested all the settings on my side it doesn't look like that at all, can you tell me what settings are you using on the plugin configuration tab?

basically, if you're selecting to set the advanced footer in the main body layout, theres no need to select Wrapper width selection, just select full width

When I do full, it looks like this:

Yes thats because you are selecting full width lol ?

Im not quite sure what you're trying to do. could you simply tell me what do you want so i can help?  

if you're trying to make it adaptive to wrapper and above the ips footer

look at the settings in this image

after that your advanced footer should look like this

Okay I did those settings and it looks more like it now but the width doesn't match still which i think it's cause I resized the theme and set it to 77% to make it a little bigger. 

Is this fixable or maybe a setting you can add?

Oh, are you using fluid width in your theme settings? 

then try this settings

[United We Stand]

Yes, now it's the same length but now there is a gap

[TAMAN]

Add this to custom.css 

.af_Container {
    padding: 0;
}

this is just some padding which is quite necessary on most of the themes 

however, i will add a setting to optionally add or remove padding in next update.

Would you know how to change up these lines on the ends so it blends in together? Also do you know how they did the transparent? I don't think you can type transparent where those numbers go.

Also awesome thanks for the quick and great support TAMAN! I'll make sure to pop good reviews.

actually looking at it, the Spartan guys have a follow us and a powered by spots in each corner, just trying to figured that out so that maybe I dont need those lines changed

The follow us is the social links, located in "About us" tab 

the other one on right side is a custom editor block located in custom block tab  

[United We Stand]

I have the logo in the editor block one, in the custom html (by mistake) i put the logo + img tag in that, I'm guessing for the Powered By thing I need to put html for the other img, but everytime I delete that code out of the html part and click save, I go back and it keeps coming back.

thats the opps I made, and no matter what I type, or leave blank and try to save it keeps coming back.

There is a bug in codemirror field that the field does not save unless if you open the plugin editing page, it has been reported before, IPS need to fix it, and this is not a bug with my plugin. 

anyways, open the plugin editing page in a new tab,  simply right click on the pen icon and open in a new tab and then edit the custom html field and save  

 

 

You can use the custom EDITOR field to add the image too

ahh okay, yep that did the trick, this might be the last one thanks for all the help so far.

 

 

how can I remove that middle line. Also how can I do that transparent thing like the Spartan guys did?

I believe this is the border color, i cant check i turned my pc off,

But simply make the border separator color same as the background color and it will disappear

Hi Taman, 

I just bought the plugin and installed it on my test board. It does work on the default theme, but alas not on the one from Ehren. Can you point me in the direction to troubleshoot this?

[TAMAN]

Hello,

Can you send me a link to check?

also, try the "Position" settings in configuration tab maybe

Edited April 10, 2017 by TAMAN

[jair101]

I tried the position settings and it worked only when it is "inside the body". Looks ok for now, I will play with it, but it would be great if you can investigate. I can provide access to my test board if you want.
