Ezpages Footer Columns support

[carol2848]

I noticed that an update is due to be released any day now. If I install the mod today, will the new version be an easy override, or should I just wait a few weeks for the release? I just want to make it easy!

You would need to merge any custom defines you had made into the new language define file, but aside from that there will be nothing changed in the base setup, just some new capabilities. The rest of the files can safely just replace the current versions. You might want to tweak the styling a bit too.

Hi Glenn - dumb question of the day. Can this mod be used for the Main Page, i.e. index or home page. If so how does it apply, index page doesn't show up in E-Z Pages to use the mod as per your instructions. If not then can you direct me to the area I should be in to modify my footer, i.e. to include external links (links being links to my other sites). I will use this mod for E-Z pages as I develop more and include in existing ones.

cheers,
Mike

The footer columns will display in the footer of all pages, home/index or any other, unless you add custom coding to limit it.
Just install it and configure some ez-page external links per the readme, and see how it works.

Hi:

I installed the mod and everything was great until I looked at it in Compatability View. Then the headings and page titles are all messed up. I am using 1.3.9h.

You can see it at http://poolcuesexpress.com/testsite. Username is dave, Password is dave123

I would appreciate any help anyone could give me.

I'm out of time to look at this right now, but the problem only happens in IE7 compatibility view, not IE8 or 9, so it must be some effect of an IE7 bug. IE developer tools seem very rudimentary and I haven't yet found out how to edit the CSS to add properties. What happens if you look in your stylesheet and replace the

#navSupp{background:#fff;}
.ezpagesFooterCol{float:left;padding:0 0 0.5em 0}

with

#navSupp{background:#fff;display: table; width: 100%;}
.ezpagesFooterCol{display: table-cell; padding:0 0 0.5em 0}

This is some of the updated CSS I use in the upcoming version of the mod; I don't know if it will have any effect on the background color and text height you are getting in IE7, but it can't hurt to try it.

Glenn, I tried that code and it took the background color away but the text still wasn't fixed.

You said that that only happens in IE7? If that's the case then I am not going to worry too much about it.

Thanks for the help and support. The mod works great other that that and it does exactly what I wanted it to do.

Hi Glenn,

I just uploaded the mod, and instead of footer I get:
WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.

The only two things I can think of are my version, and the language:
1.50 Italian

I made a copy of the english directory, and uploaded it.

Last bit of info is I haven't created any ez-pages yet, but I would expect the rest of footer to show.

Thank you

There are no v1.5.0 changes to core files the mod touches, so the version shouldn't matter. Correct copying of language files should not cause a problem. Can I see the site where this is happening?

What is the latest myDebug file in /cache/?

Thank you.
