Modern Footer Extension (Responsive & Compatible)

Mahendra

huseyinfiliz it work, thank you very much 🤗.

Already in use, thank you !
Great extension, hoping to become the first extension for Flarum soon~

I have two suggestions during the use process. Will they be adopted, or can you tell me other solutions as well?

Firstly, I hope to remove the background image of the contact information and use a PNG icon instead.
Secondly, the current logo appears too prominent and not aesthetically pleasing. I would like its color grayscale to be consistent with the color of other text, which would be more harmonious.

I am Chinese and using a translation tool to express myself. I hope you can understand my meaning. Thank you.

laoma2053 I also had some difficulty understanding since English is not my native language, but I understood you.

I found your first request quite reasonable, and I will include it in the 0.8 update within a week. Instead of a Font Awesome icon, if a link is provided, the specified PNG will be displayed instead of the icon. I believe this is a reasonable solution.

As for the second request, I didn’t fully understand what you are asking for. Are you requesting a setting to change text colors? I need a clearer and more detailed explanation from you on this matter. While I believe I understood what you want, I’m not sure if customizing text colors will be sufficient as a solution.

I think this part should be achieved by customizing a suitable icon. It should be relatively simple.

Subarist Honestly, I'm not entirely sure how to handle requests like this. I wanted the footer to work seamlessly with all themes and extensions, so I made it adapt to Flarum's secondary color. I even styled the buttons based on your theme's global border radius—whether rounded or sharp.

Customization is something I really enjoy too, but even now, there are so many settings that I've been working hard to simplify them. For example, if you replace the forum logo with text, it behaves just like the other blocks, and you can even add a Font Awesome icon.

This isn’t a complaint—don’t get me wrong. We’ve been developing this extension together since day one, and I’d love to hear feedback from people using it. My main concern is that adding too many customization options might compromise simplicity and compatibility in the long run.

At some point, I’m considering creating a "custom CSS library" instead of adding more settings, allowing users to apply their own styles if needed.

Lastly, I want to keep the extension lightweight—around 4-5KB—so it doesn’t affect the forum’s loading speed.

Please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts on this. I really appreciate all your feedback and suggestions. Thank you in advance!

I think what he wants is for the img inserted in the footer HTML to match the primary color tone. The simplest approach would be to directly find a replacement icon in the same color scheme. Alternatively, using svg with color fill could work, but that might be too complicated. This isn’t related to the extension’s code. just an img.

Amarok You're amazing! Once again, thank you so much for all the contributions you've made to this extension so far 🔥🎉

By the way, I’ve reviewed the translations, and I’m not entirely sure if “block” is the right term to use. If words like “block” or “section” feel unclear or confusing, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

Thanks again!

Amarok

huseyinfiliz both are doing very well. But column or section are more appropriate, I think.

huseyinfiliz

Amarok Thanks for your suggestions and advice. I'll take a closer look at what I can do 💪🏻

Subarist This approach often falls short outside of SVG because the dark mode extension can cause issues with matching background colors. Instead, I believe allowing users to customize text colors as they prefer might be a better solution. However, there hasn't been much demand for this feature, and it's something that can be easily handled with CSS. So for now, I don’t plan to include it in the extension. Thank you for sharing your ideas! ❤️‍🔥

I made a translation into Russian 👀

huseyinfiliz

Capybara Thank you for your contributions and support, especially with the Russian translation and other aspects of the extension 🇷🇺

Subarist Haha 😄 First of all, thank you so much for all the support you've shown for this extension so far!

Seeing the Modern Footer extension embraced and developed together with the community from day one has been an incredible experience. It honestly makes me so proud and happy! Without your valuable suggestions and support, we wouldn’t have made it this far.

I also want to take this chance to thank all Flarum users once again. This was my very first extension, and I never expected it to get this much love and support. You’re the best—seriously! I’ll always be open to new ideas and suggestions, so keep them coming.

Love you all, folks! ❤️

It seems that translating this extension has become a recent trend.
Alright, Traditional Chinese is done...

seodevse

Puh. This extension killed my whole site. Worked at first, but then killed it after a global update (probably)

Uninstalled it manually and now everything works...

Some hints:

seodevse I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing. The extension is still in its beta phase, and as mentioned in the update notes, you need to deactivate and then reactivate the extension after each major update. I believe the issue is related to this process.

I assume you're using PHP version 8.2 or 8.3. If not, the problem could also be related to that.

Reinstalling the extension after removing it may resolve the issue. I know that it is actively used on dozens of forums without any problems.

My guess is that the issue is still related to not deactivating and reactivating the extension after the update.

seodevse

huseyinfiliz php 8.3.

Yea I did not do that. I ran a global update...

Kind of bad this stuff can happen on a normal update...

huseyinfiliz

seodevse You are absolutely right; the 1.0 update will be a stable release. I’m making efforts to ensure these issues do not occur in the future.

The latest update was a major release that included translations for the extension settings page and many new configuration options. Additionally, all codes on the forum side were rewritten from scratch to improve performance.

In general, after updating extensions, it is recommended to manually run the following commands via SSH:

php flarum migrate  
php flarum cache:clear

Unfortunately, the extension manager does not perform these tasks. Instead of batch updating, performing soft updates for extensions one by one may help resolve potential issues.

Thank you for your interest!

Modern Footer v0.8 Released!

We are getting closer to the stable release with each passing day! 🎉

The previous version, v0.7, was a major update that completely revamped the extension. If you missed it, make sure to check it out first: 👉 v0.7 Changelogs huseyinfiliz

Demo

Here’s a quick demo to see the extension in action:
Demo

Note: The Sponsor Section was introduced in v0.7. To integrate it into your forum, refer to the v0.7 changelogs.

v0.8 Changelogs

🚀 What’s New:

Space Between Footer and Forum:
The CSS code that removes the space between the footer and the forum has been removed by default due to compatibility issues with certain themes. Users can manually add this back through custom CSS if needed:

  @media (max-width: 767.98px) {
    .App-content {
      padding-bottom: 0;
    }
  }

  .App {
    padding-bottom: 0;
  }

Social Media Buttons:
Fixed the issue where social media buttons were not clickable.
<footer> Conflict in Discussions:
The conflict caused by using the <footer> tag after every post in discussions has been resolved by completely rewriting the LESS (CSS) code.

Note: Make sure to clear your cache after updating the extension.

Footer Removal on Specific Pages:
- The footer is now disabled by default on the Drafts, Notifications, and Flags pages.
- If there are other pages where the footer should be hidden, please share them in this discussion.
Mobile Tab Height:
- Mobile Tab Height is now disabled on pages where the footer is hidden.
- Additionally, the background color has been removed in mobile tab height.
