I believe this can probably be done easily. I will add a "Show only on homepage" button to the general settings with the 0.7 update.
For version 1.0, I plan to introduce advanced customization options that will allow you to select which component (block) to hide on the homepage, profile page, discussion page, or globally.
A widget system is part of my future plans for this extension. To summarize:
Currently, we have "about" and "links" widget (block) types. I plan to first add a custom HTML and raw text widget, giving you the freedom to select the desired widget for any block and to add or remove links dynamically instead of having a fixed number.
Afterward, I plan to introduce widgets like "recent discussions," "hot discussions," and "statistics."
Additionally, the footer design currently works with your forum's secondary color. I plan to keep this as the default and also add a few more themes.
First and foremost, thank you for your kind words and suggestions. If you'd like to sponsor the development of the extension, I’d be delighted to discuss this with you.
I’m always happy to hear more requests and suggestions!
@huseyinfiliz Is it possible to add links in the <a href></a> footer?
It would be interesting to be able to put 2-3 images of sponsors or game publishers for example with links. The location could be between the links and the footer. But this would require a new addition
Amarok You’ve made an interesting suggestion! Just to clarify, are you requesting to replace the current "links" block with a custom HTML area where you can include clickable images (e.g., sponsors’ logos)?
Or are you asking for an additional custom HTML section to be added below the existing links in the footer?

For an additional customisable HTML zone added between the footer links and the "copyright" field
Amarok Roger that, sir!
I came across the following visual randomly on the internet, and I believe it serves as a good example. I'm confident it will offer different use cases.
I'm working on the 0.7 update and including this as well (of course, I’m open to suggestions regarding this area)
huseyinfiliz that's the idea
huseyinfiliz
That's exactly the concept. I think having custom HTML in this section would be more than enough to implement various ideas, promotions, or ads, etc. Perhaps you could even consider directly replacing the "foot-bottom" area.
Subarist yes, I think so too. Let me work on the design a bit.
I’ve added some really interesting features, and I’m already excited about introducing the 0.7 update!
huseyinfiliz Hello again. I don’t usually write things like this, but I want to say that you’ve created a very useful extension. It seems to me that it has a chance to make it to the 1st or 2nd page of the most popular Flarum extensions if it stays free. I would definitely buy your future extensions, seeing how well you work

Additionally, I think it might not be necessary to have a separate custom JS code feature.
This is quite an important functionality in native Flarum and is also present in V2.
Keeping it integrated within the admin panel might reduce confusion. Of course, the native backend’s description could emphasize the purpose of JS in this context.
Capybara hello! Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. I’m really glad to hear that you find the extension useful! Your support means a lot, and it motivates me to keep improving and creating. I’ll do my best to live up to your expectations, and who knows, maybe we’ll see it on those pages soon!
To be honest, I’m currently spending more than 5 hours a day developing this extension. This is, of course, because I’m still new to Flarum and have been away from software development for quite a while.
I don’t have any plans to make the extension paid directly, but I am considering different options. My goal is to make the footer as easily customizable as it is in WordPress. For that, I might need a sponsor or consider a paid "pro" version.
However, this isn’t something I’m focused on right now. My priority is to make the extension more useful and quickly reach the 1.0 update.
Subarist I thought it might be useful for adding Google Analytics code. Additionally, the custom-footer extension also had a custom JS field. I decided to keep this feature for those who want to transition from the custom-footer extension to the modern-footer extension.
Instead of placing it in a separate menu, I could move it to a less visible area, but I’m not considering removing it entirely.
Thank you for your suggestions! I’m looking forward to hearing more from you!

Don’t worry too much about my perspective on custom JS—it’s just my personal opinion.
I don’t have the ability to contribute to Flarum through coding. Most of the things discussed by the experts here are beyond my understanding. However, I know they’re incredibly passionate, and their goal is very clear: to make Flarum better.
For an average user like me, the biggest challenge with Flarum is that it’s really hard to make it look even slightly unique. It’s truly difficult. Not everyone has the talent for playing with colors and design like @Capybara
It took me about six months of exploration and learning just to barely achieve the style I wanted to present. But even then, it’s not easy to quickly replicate or adapt it for other projects. I love Flarum’s spirit, but when it comes to websites that emphasize distinctiveness, I still struggle to choose it.
For people like you who are willing to develop extensions to enhance Flarum’s appearance—honestly, I’m very grateful. It takes all kinds of talents to make Flarum more complete.
Subarist i am grateful for your contributions and suggestions. Please feel free to share with me any thoughts that come to your mind. I want you to know that I will always be open to criticism and suggestions and I will be happy about it
Subarist meihuak codeX I have developed a feature that allows the footer to be displayed or hidden only on specific pages, taking your requests and needs into account. I would like to hear your thoughts before releasing this feature.
Do you think this functions will be sufficient, or do you have any other suggestions?
Show on all pages: The footer will be visible on every page of the website.
Hide on all pages: The footer will be hidden on every page of the website. I thought you might want to hide it while adjusting the extension settings.
Hide on discussions: The footer will be hidden only on the discussions pages.
Hide on all pages except the index page: The footer will be visible on the homepage (index page) but hidden on all other pages.
Custom: Allows you to set specific rules for when and where the footer is shown or hidden, based on your preferences. I'm not sure if I'll be able to release this soon, but why not in the future?
Finally, I have one more question. Do you think there should be a permission setting for displaying the footer?
For example, would you want to hide it from visitors or members? Or would that be unnecessary and pointless?
First of all thank you for your efforts. It looks great the way it is, I don't see the need to hide the feature for visitors, but it can still be added.

Great ! Thank you for your work
huseyinfiliz Afterward, I plan to introduce widgets like "recent discussions," "hot discussions," and "statistics."
Speaking of compatibility.... Existing widgets aren't compatible with Pallet Theme. I don't want to bother you with this today, but if one day you make your own version of widgets, it would be nice to think about it
