Footer Links

[Peggy]

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to decipher where to place links in my footer.
Could someone guide me? I would like for them to appear below the style/language choosers/copyright text.

Here's my footer template content -

<xen:edithint template="footer.css" />

<div class="footer">
    <div class="pageWidth">
        <div class="pageContent">
            <xen:if is="{$canChangeStyle} OR {$canChangeLanguage}">
            <dl class="choosers">
                <xen:if is="{$canChangeStyle}">
                    <dt>{xen:phrase style}</dt>
                    <dd><a href="{xen:link 'misc/style', '', 'redirect={$requestPaths.requestUri}'}" class="OverlayTrigger Tooltip" title="{xen:phrase style_chooser}" data-offsetY="-11">{$visitorStyle.title}</a></dd>
                </xen:if>
                <xen:if is="{$canChangeLanguage}">
                    <dt>{xen:phrase language}</dt>
                    <dd><a href="{xen:link 'misc/language', '', 'redirect={$requestPaths.requestUri}'}" class="OverlayTrigger Tooltip" title="{xen:phrase language_chooser}" data-offsetY="-11">{$visitorLanguage.title}</a></dd>
                </xen:if>
            </dl>
            </xen:if>

            <ul class="legal">
                <li id="copyright">{xen:phrase xenforo_copyright}</li>
                <li><span>Flexile theme by Erik Swan.</span></li>
            </ul>

            <ul class="footerLinks">
            <xen:hook name="footer_links">
                <xen:hook name="footer_links_legal">
                    <xen:if is="{$tosUrl}"><li><a href="{$tosUrl}">{xen:phrase terms_and_rules}</a></li></xen:if>
                    <xen:if is="{$xenOptions.privacyPolicyUrl}"><li><a href="{$xenOptions.privacyPolicyUrl}">{xen:phrase privacy_policy}</a></li></xen:if>
                </xen:hook>
                <xen:if is="{$xenOptions.contactUrl.type} === 'default'">
                    <li><a href="{xen:link 'misc/contact'}" class="OverlayTrigger">{xen:phrase contact_us}</a></li>
                <xen:elseif is="{$xenOptions.contactUrl.type} === 'custom'" />
                    <li><a href="{$xenOptions.contactUrl.custom}">{xen:phrase contact_us}</a></li>
                </xen:if>
                <xen:if is="{$homeLink}"><li><a href="{$homeLink}">{xen:phrase home}</a></li></xen:if>
                <li><a href="{$requestPaths.requestUri}#navigation">{xen:phrase go_to_top}</a></li>
                </xen:hook>
            </ul>

At the end of the template i would assume.
Unless im missing something which is entirely possible..
Thats where mine are here... http://www.doberman-chat.com/community/index.php
But for whatever reason that seemed far to easy so im guessing im wrong and probably messed up some sort of code validation on my own site.

LOL don't be so negative. I'm going to try it and see what I come up with.
Thanks!

oh pppfffttt it's not cursed. You'll get it worked out, I'm sure.

 

[Peggy]

That worked, thanks!

We'd be willing to do a footer link exchange with all of you if you'd like to do the same with us

I'll be adding the footer links this weekend, so if anyone wants to do that, let's get something going

 

[Peggy]

I'm in Arny. I was going to ask you anyway since your TV site would fit nicely with my parents site, imo.
I'll start another thread for this.

Ok I successfully got my link in the footer, however, it's a totally different color than the other links (copyright, home, contact us, etc).
I actually want these links to be white, so how do I go about getting them to be white? What code would I add to my link code (example shown below)?

<div style="text-align: center;">
<li><a href="http://thecraftingforum.com" target="_blank" title="A fun discussion forum for all things crafty!">The Crafting Forum</a></li>
</div>

 

[Paul B]

This will do it.

<a style="color: white" title="A fun discussion forum for all things crafty!" target="_blank" href="http://thecraftingforum.com">The Crafting Forum</a>

However, if you use the same code as the theme, it should automatically match your other links.

 

[Peggy]

Great! That's the completely correct code. I didn't know how to get all to look like that, so settled for what I had since it worked.
Now it is css'ly correct.

Thanks Brogan.

<div style="text-align: center;">
            <a href="http://weheartourkids.com" target="_blank" title="A fun discussion forum for parents!"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">We &hearts; Our Kids!</span></a></div>

you can change the rgb to a hex# to color: #FFFFFF if you prefer

 

[FredC]

Bla im 3 minutes slower then the Human XF Wiki

 

[Peggy]

ROFL!!

How would I do that?
