NEW 1.0.1 VERSION (download product_gtfooterpanel.xml)

It's available to display the most important links to your site. It's accessible and user-friendly.

Custom modification brought to you by Joe Velez (aka Princeton vbulletin.org Admin).

// $template_hook['footer_info_left'] .= "<li><a href=\"info.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpage\">link on left side</a></li>";

not a good idea ... there will be many posts asking "how can I remove the dummy links?"

you can accomplish the same thing yourself .. just copy and paste

[StuntFactoryX]

actuly i was referring to below the add on box... below gmt time... how u layed the footer out. compliments this add on nicely :)

I was kind of wondering that myself. Good question.

[soletrader]

Hello,

Thank you very much for this. I was actually looking for this and glad I found it. One question, for vbadvanced users who have a left or right column, how can we get this table to align properly? The problem I have is that is spreads across the entire page. I would like to align it with the center section and not have it expand where the left column is located.

Thank you

[Quantnet]

wowo...

I'm interested in the no template edit version. Thanks

[rjmjr69]

I'de love to see it collapsable

[Xplorer4x4]

No template edit version would be nice :)

[ssslippy]

I would love to see a no tempolate edit version, so much easier.

[baghdad4ever]

how can i increase links in section New To Site?

[Princeton]

how can i increase links in section New To Site?
you will need to manually add the code (eg. HTML)

you can just copy/paste one of the existing links to get an idea

[rjmjr69]

I'de love to see it collapsable

So can this be done or not?

[Talisman]

Ty Princeton.. now I just need to figure out how we'll use the space down there.

[Masiello]

Hi, the logout say "Undefined" in the alert after clicks Log out link, I don't remember how to fix this.

[Masiello]

Ok, fixed myself by replacing
<a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=logout&amp;logouthash=$bbuserinfo[logouthash]" onclick="return log_out()"><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[log_out_x]</phrase></a>
to

<a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=logout&amp;logouthash=$bbuserinfo[logouthash]" onclick="return log_out('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]')"><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[log_out_x]</phrase></a>

getting the following error..

[NashChristian]

Hello Princeton, thanks for the mod!

I'm experiencing one little formatting issue, if you would be so kind as to help.

Site Demo (http://nashvillechristian.com/)

By the way, I'm running vBa if that makes any difference.

It appears that I currently have two line breaks <br /> ABOVE the footer panel, and zero line breaks <br /> below the footer panel. I would like to change this so that I have one line break above the footer panel, and one line break below the footer panel.

I can't figure out for the life of me, which template I need to edit to make this change. This code is not in the footer template. I don't see it in your product file. Where is the code located at responsible for this formatting?

Thanks for the help!
Jeff

edit gtfooter_panel template

[MissKalunji]

works fine :) *clicks install*
What would be the condition code to put to prevent it from showing in the portal?

[rolandogomez]

Does this work with vB3.7 B6? Thanks, rg.

[MissKalunji]

Does this work with vB3.7 B6? Thanks, rg.

it's just standard table code so yes it should

[rolandogomez]

it's just standard table code so yes it should

Well it worked somewhat. I had to hardcode the URL's to make it work in VBAdvanced, even after adding the files names in the global advance settings in the admin panel. I noticed too that the logout URL already in the XML file worked fine, inserting the /forums/ in the footer while in the VBA front page, but the other three links already included did not, so I got brave, edited the XML file, entered the full URL's there, it worked. Then I got brave again, played with the tables and now I have an area to sell text links, check it out, http://www.shotcritic.com.

Here's what I edited in the XML file:

Change this:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

Works great, though I had to re-enter the new links in the plugin management when I re-uploaded the XML file, thanks, rg sends!

[MissKalunji]

yeah Cool :) u didn't have to use the plugins it had the templates that u could have used.

Glad it worked out for you i did forget to tell you about the urls

[heeroyun]

Exactly what template to edit to add additional links ? :(

[MissKalunji]

in the footer

[heeroyun]

I don't see anything there :/

[MissKalunji]

oh wait you used the plugin

if u used the plugin

look for this template : gtfooter_panel

If u did the manual edit then it would have been footer

My bad

[heeroyun]

Ok , got it . Thx a loot Misskalunji :)

[MissKalunji]

[masterme]

I tried to install it, but there was no info panel :(
probaly a template issue, but uninstalled it anyway.

u don't HAVE to install the product you can just do the template modification

[viper357]

Are you using a hack for the info.php pages that are linked in the box, like the Meet Our Staff Page?

[viper357]

Are you using a hack for the info.php pages that are linked in the box, like the Meet Our Staff Page?
Anyone? What is vb.org using to create their pages?

[Boofo]

An info.php file with the code for the various pages in it and calling templates.

[carubmun]

So i dont need to install the plugin, just edit the footer template?
If so... nice :)

[chick]

Thank you very much (marked installed) I am going to attempt it.

[PHILIPS-08]

[vcruiser]

Fresh install and some links are showing up as 404. Where can I make the adjustments to make those links work?

[PoetJA-1975]

[joomlajunkie]

And hope its working for 3.7 version.

[PoetJA-1975]

Like at http://JPiCForum.info --- see the footer...
You simply edit the footer template - the code would look similiar to

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" align="$stylevar[left]" width="50%">New To Site?</td>
<td class="tcat" align="$stylevar[left]" width="50%">Need Help?</td>
<td class="tcat" align="$stylevar[left]" width="50%">NEW THIRD SECTION</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" align="$stylevar[left]" valign="top">
<ul>
<if condition="$show['guest']">

And yes - it works for 3.7 - simply use the template edit code instead of the actual product.
Hope this helps ;)
