Need Help as a Newbie to creating themes

[meSingh]

I have a theme which have some fields in footer that require custom text provided by user.

At the movement i have set set pure html there. But i want to use xenforo template syntax and allow users to add text from the style properties page.

Now the problem is that i am completely new to xenforo coding. I have checked a couple of tutorials by Kier but they didn`t helped me much.

Can someone help me in this and provide just a sample code to put a custom text in footer. I am sure i will be able to add more later myself.

Thank in advance to anyone who helps me

You can put custom text in the footer by editing the footer template.

If you want the content of that to be a custom user input, create a new user field and then include it in the footer template using the {$user.customFields.x} where x is the field ID.

Thanks for your response. But i already said above i am totally a newbie. I don`t know how to make a new custom filed and how to display it.
It will be a great help if you can give me just a simple code example.

I can't give you a code example because it requires making a custom user field.

Admin CP -> Search (top right) -> Field - top result will be 'Custom User Fields'

Click that link and you'll find yourself at a page allowing you to create a custom user field. Create one, and fill out the options appropriately, and then make sure you remember the field ID.

Then you can use the code: {$user.customFields.fieldID}

Ohh, looks like i was not clear enough here.

I want the option to come under my custom style in style properties tab and i want to place that text in a custom box in footer.

Hope this makes you clear enough
