How to add footer

Digital

Just read this great article explaining Infinite scroll and pagination pros and cons.
You guys may want to read it to better help you decide which is better for Flarum.

P.S.
My opinion, and I believe that the current setup works perfect as is (safe option whether you have small or big community).
It controls the traffic of feeds, which will not overwhelm users with floods of feeds (infinite scroll).
The best thing here is, users have control with the amount of feeds they want to digest.

And... they'll also have an option if they wan't to have a footer (via extension).

Just my opinion.

I think that there's too much debate in this thread. Most of them are off topic... -_-

A simple question was asked ! Nobody answered it -_-

Maybe @Jayce don't care about "good practices" and just WANT to add a footer because HE/SHE has some ideas in HIS/HER mind.

I see this too often, mindless debate on a simple question. Kinda annoying.

You guys are too passionate !

So i'll answer : Jayce I'm sorry i does not know much of the template system for the moment so i can't help you BUT it is possible to add a sticky footer on an infinite scrolling page via CSS.

Digital True, true

But thread got TL ; DR (all thread past a certain number cuz of that) ?

Sort of raising this thread from the dead.

Jayce I've created a custom footer extension you can use.

https://discuss.flarum.org/d/2926-davis-custom-footer

It can be used in conjunction with infinite scrolling and works on mobile.

I have just tried your extension and it gives a blank screen in the latest Flarum version

Csineneo Can you share the exact part of the footer. I modified this file but I can't see the footer class in dev tools etc.

Thank you!

Davis

omercan revert any changes you've made in the blade file and use my extension: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/2926-davis-custom-footer

Davis I tried your extension but I don't want to use extension for this. By the way, If you add to hide option for info logo, it might be good for beginners.

tarun

csf But force it on users and take away their ability to employ non-static footers, and I think you'll undermine Flarum adoption in business use cases.

Hey @csf.. Could you elaborate with a few examples, the business use cases you mentioned?

csf

tarun It's moot at this point. My concerns were expressed before Davis made his footer extension available. As long as a footer can be reached, that's all that matters to me. We're not using it in our boards yet, but one example of a footer's value is being able to show sponsors in that location, which we do in our main website footer (it's a common location for stuff like that so it displays globally), or legal notices, or auxiliary link lists for content that's not immediately concerned with the navigation of the boards (e.g., other department sites of your company), and so forth. That stuff can all be considered business-important, which will vary depending on type of entity (business, non-profit, gov...) or need -- whatever. Infinite scroll can interfere with that if users can never actually attain/see the footer. But, as I said, it seems to be a moot issue now.

tarun

csf Thanks for the info... Was trying to understand the business perspective better.

Davis

omercan What do you mean you don't want to use an extension for this? Is there a different option?

omercan

Davis Modifying core files?

jordanjay29

omercan Modifying core files is going to be a more volatile method and won't stick between upgrades. An extension would do the same thing, but would allow you to reuse it after an upgrade without much fuss. We basically don't give support for modifying core files, so this kind of thing is at your own risk.

Davis

omercan that's a dumb idea.

omercan

jordanjay29 I know, thank you for your reminding.
