Advanced Footer Rework · **Version:** 4.1.11

We have actually had a number of small forum display enhancements and mini mods coded for us last year. This is One of them. I thought I'd have them released to the Community and have marked the code re-useable since as its not sure how much support can be provided, so feel free to use it as you like and improve it.

What does this do?

Advanced Footer Rework is a Simple Mod that changes your forums footer and adds 3 small blocks to look more like this.

DEMO

Installation is very easy, and this should work with most versions of vBulletin 4.x. You simply replace the footer with the one below, add the bit of .css to your additional css and simply upload the 2 images inside the images.zip. Although its IMPORTANT and I do suggest you always backup before making any modifications. Please read all steps carefully.

To Install

1. Add this bit of code to your additional.css located Style Manager > CSS Templates > additional.css

Code:

/* Begin custom footer rework*/

Mod Version and Updates
Version 1.01 April 27 2012 - First version, Tested on vBulletin 4.1.1 and Released

Boofo · #2 04-27-2012, 07:43 AM

It might be nice to have a text file included in the zip with the instructions and code for the footer.

ProFifaLeagues · #3 04-27-2012, 10:49 AM

Great idea to release this one thank you!

Merenguista · #4 04-27-2012, 06:16 PM

I want to have two blocks as (Computer Help and Advice) the first in the right and the second in the left, and in the middle of them I want put footer_logo.jpg and Community Rules / Market Rules.

How can I do this? what should I change in the code?

Should be simple, I am not sure but you would probably have to move the codes around. You want to bring the logo to the center and make two blocks like the Computer Help and Advice Block on both sides and get rid of the about us Block, right?

try this..maybe it will work.. :up:

The amount of nonsense loading and constant timeouts I am getting at vB.org recently it really gives a hard time for me to reply or even edit a post

Preech · #6 04-29-2012, 03:44 AM

Wow, I like how this footer looks.

victorvu · #7 04-29-2012, 05:52 AM

Hi Rocketeers:

I installed it and it works with vB pages, not with the customer pages. Do you know how to fix it for customer pages?

Overall, it looks great on my vB pages, just exactly you have it on your vB pages.

Installed, voted and nominated.

Victor:up:

The Rocketeer · #8 04-30-2012, 04:40 AM

@ victorvu, I am sorry victor, but I think Custom(?) Pages have a separate footer, so you might have to manually figure that out how to enter in there or call the footer. it works everywhere in our forum granted we dont really have any custom pages

The Rocketeer · #9 04-30-2012, 06:41 AM

Quick Update: Guys I forgot to include this for you

I will will update the package later. please also download this dotted.png image attached to this post and upload it to the images folder, it will add the dotted lines effect :up:

Savraj · #10 04-30-2012, 04:00 PM

Hi I inputted the code as stated, and images. However, I cannot see any difference..

Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance...
