Footer Content Control

[sparks80]

I have scanned the header and footer section quickly, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I'm sure there is something out there, but I have come up empty.

I have a very basic footer. Just a simple black background, with my default links in it. When I have tried to add items to the footer, they wind up above or below the black background.

How can I create a footer than can contain the default links as well as images if I need them. I'm guessing this is simple, but after a week and a half of site development, my eyes are crossed.

Please help.

Are you adding the image or additional content within the div you have for the links? Like here is what you have and I added a image (in bold) and it stays within the black area.


<footer role="contentinfo" class="c-enterprise-footer">
<div class="c-enterprise-footer__footer-links"><img src="http://i657./uu300/EliteList/Crazicons/CCJ/CC30plus.png">

</div>
</footer>

There in lies the problem Tumbleweed. I couldn't seem to find a footer div object on any of the layout templates.

What is currently being generated seems to be done automatically by the site, unless I'm imagining things and looking right past it.

I'm was having and still am having some sort of dumb moment. Of course that is generated by ProBoards. But it threw me because the links instead of going to Proboards goes to pages on your site and for some reason I figured you were just ad free and thus had your own footer. However, I'm guessing you are have a forums.net site (I don't deal with fourms.net sites, typically) or you simply just have ad free. Or did you have the Proboards coders set this up for you? Anyway, doesn't really matter, I was just confused for a bit.


Anyway, if you go into your wrapper template do you see the bold below toward the bottom?

$[footer] 


If you find that we can put a div around it and then you can add images to it. Something like this:

<div style="margin:auto;background-color:black;">

<img src="http://i657./uu300/EliteList/Crazicons/CCJ/CC30plus.png">

$[footer]

</div>

If you need further help positioning things so it looks nice, I can help with that. I just want to make sure this would work for you first.

Yes, that site is a forums.net site.

Thanks Tumbleweed. I'll try out the div idea.

Worked like a charm. Thanks for the help Tumbleweed.
