Nice new footer!

[RobParker]

Rob, don't we have a forum here where you can post work that you need done ??

Services requested, programmers please respond and bid....

I think this might be it, but it sure needs a better forum description because I had a hard time finding it.

I think that's more intended for freelance stuff rather than asking the devs and as Kier's already intimated that he's considering writing a tutorial I'm fairly sure I'm in the right place here, but thanks.

Well hopefully this will become a module as you say, but until then you can custom code your own or look at other plug in modules like this one.

I have been attempting to get my technical administrator to create something for a year or so that could be run across all the forums (3 vb) with ad zones built in so we could shoot ads in the footer block with OpenX ad server, but nothing ever got done, so I'm all for something like this to be built in.

Erik makes a very nice footer in his Flexile style. Just sayin.....

I agree that it'd be cool if there was a tutorial to add this to out own sites.

I have made a guide on doing the footer but as template edits, it's on my site in small mods.

Very nice, I'm sure I'll be using it on my new site.
BTW, how did you get the random quotes in your forum's sidebar?

Anyone can make their own custom footer, it is commonly done when forums are part of a large network so guests can get to other forums or portals owned by the same group.

www.cnet.com is a great example of this concept as are many large web publishers who own a lot of web properties they want to cross promote.

I have a network of sites, so this type of thing would be ideal for me.

this Random Quotes is very nice! Would like to have it as well....

When I find a coder that does more than blow hot air I will let you know about him or her, until then don't hold your breath, I would have been dead years ago if I did that waiting on these guys.

Upload this icon to the path you see in the code below


I added this to the very top of the sidebar_online_users template

<div class="secondaryContent">
<div class="randquote"><img src="@imagePath/xenforo/icons/randquote.png" alt="" /> {xen:phrase randomquote}</div>
<div class="bqstart">&#8220;</div>
<div class="quotes bq" style="padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 5px;"></div>
<div class="bqend">&#8221;</div>

Nice. Thank you.

 

[ToDie4]

Nice. Thank you.

Ooops, sorry Peggy but I forget, you need to add this to the EXTRA.css template/

.randquote {
font-size: 12pt;
color: @primaryLight;
padding-bottom: 2px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
border-bottom: 1px solid @primaryLighterStill;
}

 

[Peggy]

Got it. Thanks.

 

[ToDie4]

Got it. Thanks.

Now you're gonna be mad with me, I forgot to add the closing div,
After this bit

<div class="bqend">&#8221;</div>

add an end div, sorry mate, was tired when I posted, I don't sleep so well.

 

[Erik]

Oh god, I'm all for these kind of stylish and functional footers (see: my original Flexile mockup), but please don't include this in the product.

 

[Kier]

Is it possible to make a simple step by step to replicate the mod utilizing that. I remember (I think) on one of your video tutorials on creating addons had me create a page looking similar in it's layout. I don't know if I am just stupid or what but I don't know what to do with this. Risking sounding any worse I would have to ask if it would be daunting (timewise) to make a barebones step by step txt tutorial that we could to follow to a "T" in order to replicate. This is one of those things that I think may just be able to look at in it's entirety with the end result of me gaining an understanding of how to make use of the development tab in the ACP. Regardless...thanks for this.. I kind of get it, but you already know...I'm just a few sandwiches short of a picnic basket.

Et voila:

XenForo Template Hooks Tutorial

Nice! I just woke up too...this put's a positive spin on a day that I started out grumpy. Thank you Kier...I could have waited longer than a day though I am most definitely NOT complaining. It will be my morning coffee and then a follow up of me following this. Awesome.

Don't worry, they're not.

Naw not mad at all. Take Advil PM. Knocks me right out. It's the only way I get any sleep at all.
