Luc Wolfe Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Hi guys, I was going into my default theme setting and notice they have no footer option, I think it's kind of funny we don't have that option as for their customers, has most CMS gives you a footer option. Reason I ask is that my coding knowlegde has gone poor with all the responsive coding, when I tried to make one it was breaking everywhere when changing view.
Luc Wolfe Posted July 24, 2017 Author Posted July 24, 2017 is it compatible with 4.2? That's my biggest issue with third party is that whether they will support it for the long run...
CP Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 @TAMAN is good about keeping his plugins, apps, and skins updated. I haven't upgraded to 4.2 so I am not sure if it will work or not. I mentioned him so he could answer for you. He would know more about it then I would.
TAMAN Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Hi, Yes, advanced footer works in ips 4.2 version So far i only upgraded to fix bugs or and issues with the plugin, otherwise i never upgraded to support any ips version upgrades because the plugin is just a theme hook and it should always work with 4.x.x

However, other developers are wary of your advice because there are better (and safer!) ways to implement the same solution. For eaxmple, it's recommended to make changes to the custom CSS file and not the original templates. This is a superior solution because it isolates the changes to the custom CSS file while allowing IPS to independently upgrade it's templates. By manually overwriting, you will potentially need to re-enter the edits in EVERY upgrade. And with IPS pumping out updated templates like there's no tomorrow, it's an unnecessarey burden when they provided an alternative and superior solution You've posted some interesting and useful guides, and the community benefits. But we can benefit even more when correct advice is offered, by learning from the experience and coding standards from others.

Mark Round Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 This is one of the worst topics i have ever read.First of all its very easy to make your own footer,second is how many people jump on the band wagon and tell you not to....seriously!
sweethoney Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 yes there is with out a mod advance footer dont like it
sweethoney Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 just 2 add that some other members might not like the way advance footer looks if they did they would not ask how to make a footer like ips
Cyboman Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 I like the "advanced footer" plugin but I'm also interested in the way others code their footers themselves as I own multiple communities and not everyone requires an advanced footer. Unfortunately I'm not a good "responsive coder" yet. Easy Code examples would be highly appreciated. So if your own footer developments aren't a secret, please show us the code and give some tipps for the implementation concerning where to edit (so it will also work on mobiles f.e.) and your advices for a good responsive design. Thanks.

I like advanced footer and I think it looks great (only exception: the curvy element needs getting used to )! But I will definitely buy it... But for my other communities, I'm interested how to write a simple responsive footer myself and kindly ask for -> code examples. I don't want to talk about which is the "best looking solution" as everyone has their own preferences and favors... Many members say it's easy to code, so please help out with easy code examples that will manage the job in a nicely manner. Thanks. By the way, the topic starter asked for examples like the IPS footer. (see below )
sweethoney Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 no i do understand ya post i just want to make my point like you sed it easy to just code it rather than a plugin
TAMAN Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 54 minutes ago, Cyboman said: the curvy element needs getting used to ) One line of css can remove that curved svg element which is sad because it makes it really nice for two rows of footer blocks lol Anyways, the curved line doesn't even show if you use only one row of footer^^ it is basically like a border separator, to separate the rows if you have more than one
