Help with new footer.

[SPEEDKILLZ]

I am trying to figure out the footer section on my new theme. (See attachment) I have read the instructions over and over and still can't make it out. Maybe someone has a better way of explaining.

Note mine does not show up at all. See link in sig.

Here are the instructions given.

At the bottom of the theme is the footer region. In the default theme installation, there are four columns. The first two columns contain a list of links. The third column contains an example "About Us" section. The fourth column contains the search box and "Connect With Us" social icons. The names for these templates in the Style Manager are "footer_column_1", "footer_column_2", "footer_column_3", and "footer_column_4". These are the templates that must be edited to customize the footer region. The CSS for the elements in the footer region can be found in the "additional.css" template. The names of the CSS IDs corresponds to the name of each column; for instance, the ID for "footer_column_1" is "#footer_column_1".

You can see all the included social icon images in the "tf_ideal/social" folder.

Remember, if the themes were imported maintaining the proper hierarchy, you need only edit the footer column templates for the "TF_Ideal Fixed" parent theme. All the subsequent child themes will inherit the edits.

The logos for each individual theme (logo.png) are contained in their respective /misc folders. (i.e. the logo for the red version of the theme is contained in the tf_ideal/red/misc folder). To replace these logos with your own, create a logo with the same file name, including the .png extension, and upload it to the above locations, overwriting the old files. Alternately, you can point the logo url to another location in the theme's StyleVars. The StyleVar for this is "ImagePaths" > "titleimage". This must be changed for each individual theme.

The search box in the footer honors your search settings in the admincp. If you have the search functions on your forum disabled, the search box in the footer won't appear, and the "Connect With Us" section will move up in its place.

The following is an example of one way in which you might customize the footer region to your liking.

Let's say you only want one column of links instead of the two included in the default theme installation. First, go to "Styles & Templates" > "Style Manager" and expand the template listings for the "TF_Ideal Fixed" theme by clicking the "? ?" button. Double click the "footer_column_2" template to open up its edit box. Remove all the code in the "Template" box and click "Save".

Anyone?

I would ask the style developer for help on that. I really can't tell what is up by looking at the style except that it looks nothing like the image. The style doesn't even look like the image. Are you sure you didn't modify the style in some way and remove the code?

[SPEEDKILLZ]

Im pretty sure i just need to add something to make it show up. See i have this in my footer code.

<div class="clear"></div>
<vb:if condition="!empty($ad_location['ad_footer_start']) or !empty($ad_location['global_above_footer'])">
  <div style="clear: {vb:stylevar left}"> {vb:raw ad_location.ad_footer_start}
    {vb:raw ad_location.global_above_footer} </div>
</vb:if>
</div>

And these custom footer templates

[SPEEDKILLZ]

And this is what it looks like in the footer columns

[Lynne]

There are variables that are most likely defined in a plugin:
{vb:raw footer_column_1}
{vb:raw footer_column_2}
{vb:raw footer_column_3}
{vb:raw footer_column_4}

Did you upload a product to use that footer?

[SPEEDKILLZ]

Just The Style Folder. Nothing more.

[Krusty1231]

I have that same theme. Did you edit out anything in the footer column 1,2,3,4 as the code for the missing stuff is in those templates. If you left those alone, then I'd contact Themeforest developer and shoot him a PM asking why you have that issue.

[SPEEDKILLZ]

I Never Messed With Any part Of The Footer.
