Ezpages Footer Columns support

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).

The zip will be attached here until it is available in Free Addons.

Ezpages Footer Columns is now available in Free Addons.

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.

I have worked through a few issues that I had with this addon on this thread here:

thanks

I am pleased with how my footer has turned out, however for a more clean and tight feel of the page from top to bottom, I would like to integrate or at least mesh the copyright line into the footer. If you look at it, it still seems like it is out of place or awkwardly sitting below the footer.

At the very least I guess I could just find where on the .css that white space is coming from.

Site is testmulberry.com

Thanks in advance.

It seems I have gotten it to appear more 'integrated', by changing 'float: left;' to 'float: center;'.

Any other way of doing this?

There is no such thing as float: center; - that is an invalid declaration. You can only float left, right or none.

There are several things contributing to the space between the footer links and the copyright line.
One is the ul height - if all columns will have the same number of links, there is no need for it at all:
.ezpagesFooterCol ul {
border-left: 1px solid #000000;
float: left;
height: 3.2em;
margin: 0.3em;
padding: 0;
width: 95%;
}

The other biggest one is the padding on #navSuppWrapper:

stylesheet.css (line 351)
#navSuppWrapper {
border-top: 1px solid #262B31;
margin: 25px 0 0;
padding: 8px 0 12px;
}

Change 12px to 0.

Hey Guys,

Can anyone help me with the column widths within this mod ? I would like to make the colours slightly wider.

Cheers.

EDIT...

No problem just figured it out. For anyone else trying to achieve this just adjust

.ezpagesFooterCol ul {float: right; margin: 2em; padding: 0; border-left: 1px dotted #66bbcc; width: 95%;}

Hey Again lol

Can anyone help me with adjusting the individual column widths within this mod ?

Cheers.

Each column has a classname based on the first digit of its links' sort orders, like .col1, .col2, etc.
Style them like this to override the width set in the code:

#navSupp .col2 {width: 123px !important;}
#navSupp .col3 {width: 22% !important;}

A little help....
I just put everything in the correct places under my template name and my footer has completely disappeared. Can anyone give me a suggestion as to how I might fix this?

I do have my ez page footer links numbered in such a manner:
Column 1 - 101, 102, 103 etc.
Column 2 - 201,203,204 etc.

And the EZ page setting for the footer is set on 1

Thank you in advance!

My guess would be that a file ended up in the wrong place, or is corrupt. Your page output cuts off at <div id="navSupp">, which indicates a PHP error in the footer nav files.
Look in /cache/ in your site root for the latest myDebug file, and paste it here so we can see what it thinks is the problem.

Thanks gjh42 lol it was in the readme after looking over it again !! I should really learn to read those lol

Here is the error?
