Ezpages Footer Columns support

**gjh42** · 29 Dec 2010, 02:29 AM

This mod allows you to organize the ez-pages footer links into columns.

* You can choose in admin how many columns to have (up to 9).
* You can define a heading for each column (it may be an image if desired).
* You can set in admin the display order of links in each column.
* You can define one or more subheadings in each column.
* You can define a comment to go below each link.
* You can highlight the link for the current page, if any.
* You can style columns individually if desired.
* The default Home link in the footer is disabled; you can include a home link as an ez-page internal link.
* Menu display content is all compatible with multiple languages (even though stock ez-page contents are not).

Hi,

Read me file says "You can choose in admin how many columns to have (up to 9)."

But I dont see the option in admin to select the number of columns in Admin>Configuration>EZ Pages Settings.

Can you also post a screenshot of how the links look say in 3-4 columns or even more columns?

Thanks.
Dhaval

PS. - here is where I tried to install http://beautysupplyweb.com

If you will read the rest of the readme, you will see the directions:

Application

The number of columns and location of each link in the columns is determined by the footer sort order set in Tools > EZ-Pages > edit page.
The first digit of the sort order determines which column the link will be in; there will be as many columns as there are different first digits.
The links in each column will be displayed in the sort order set here. Set the sort orders like 110, 120, 210, 220, etc.

I don't have a public demo site; I'll work on getting a screenshot posted until someone can link to a live site using EFC.

You have only two links in your footer, so there will be no more than two columns. Add more links and experiment with the sort order numbering.

Hi,

I installed (tried to) this mod. FTPed files etc. Nothing is showing up in the admin panel to give me the impression that it has worked. Any help?

There will be no changes in the admin appearance. You need to set the relevant ez-pages' footer sort orders as described in the readme.

You will get no footer columns until you have set ez-pages to appear in the footer.

Here is a screenshot of footer columns on my local test site, showing headings, a subheading, a current page link and a note for the new link to Home.
The second is an example of making a titled column "double-wide" using only stylesheet tweaks.

I will leave these up until there are good live examples to see.
