Miscellaneous Hacks - vbulletin.org Footer Info Panel

NEW 1.0.1 VERSION (download product_gtfooterpanel.xml)

The 1.0.1 version is a "No Template Edits" version

Many times it's difficult for visitors to find information. That's why the "Footer Information Panel" was created.

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).

Show your support and click Mark As Installed, Nominate For MOTM, or Support Developer.

Want to insert additional links?

Go into the global_setup_complete plugin and edit the following to suit your needs:

PHP Code:

// uncomment to add links to footer info panel 
// $template_hook['footer_info_left'] .= "<li><a href=\"info.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpage\">link on left side</a></li>";
// $template_hook[footer_info_right] .= "<li><a href=\"info.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpage\">link on right side</a></li>";

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="$show['guest']">
			<li><a href="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Register to Participate</a></li>
			</if>
			<if condition="$vboptions['forumleaders']">
			<li><a href="showgroups.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[view_forum_leaders]</a></li>
			</if>			
			<if condition="$vboptions[privacyurl]">
			<li><a href="$vboptions[privacyurl]">$vbphrase[privacy_statement]</a></li>
			</if>
			<li><a href="$vboptions[contactuslink]">$vbphrase[contact_us]</a></li>
		</ul>
		</td>
		<td class="alt1" align="$stylevar[left]" valign="top">
		<ul>
			<li><a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Frequently Asked Questions</a></li>
			<if condition="$show['guest']">
			<li><a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=lostpw">Did you forget your password?</a></li>
			</if>
			<li><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a></li>
			<if condition="$show['member']">
			<li><a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=logout&amp;logouthash=$bbuserinfo[logouthash]" onclick="return log_out()"><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[log_out_x]</phrase></a></li>
			</if>
    </ul>
		</td>
<td class="alt1" align="$stylevar[left]" valign="top">
		<ul>
			<li><a href="URL LINK">NEW THIRD SECTION</a></li>
			<li><a href="URL LINK">NEW THIRD SECTION</a></li>
			<li><a href="URL LINK">NEW THIRD SECTION</a></li>
			<li><a href="URL LINK">NEW THIRD SECTION</phrase></a></li>
    </ul>
		</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

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