Modern Footer Extension (Responsive & Compatible)

damuji

Hello

I'm trying to add some fontawesome icons (free) and it doesn't show. As you can see it only shows a gray square.
I'm stalled font awesome ext and it works nice in others forum sections but not in modern footer.

Thanks.

huseyinfiliz

damuji I need a bit more detail — for example, when you right-click the button and inspect it, what does it look like in HTML? Also, do other Font Awesome icons display correctly?
I’d appreciate it if you could share a link. You can also reach out via email or Telegram if you prefer.

Hello Sir,
Greetings of the day. I have installed the Modern Footer extension, and everything was working fine initially. However, my forum suddenly started showing the following error:

"Something went wrong while trying to load the full version of this site. Try hard-refreshing this page to fix the error."

When I disable the extension, the site works normally again.

Could you please help me resolve this issue?

b4allb4u I'm sorry you received this error. If possible, please share the error message from the log file so we can better understand the issue. My first guess is that it might be caused by incorrect code added to the "Custom JS" section or a similar misconfiguration in other settings.

The best approach would be to activate the extension and share any errors you see in the log file or browser console. You can also enable Flarum debug mode to view the error directly on the forum.

This is a generic error, so it's hard to identify the root cause without more details. I'd be happy to help if you can provide more information 💖✨

Hello Sir,
I didn't find any anomalies in the log files. I followed a simple troubleshooting step: I uninstalled the extension and then reinstalled it. This resolved the issue.

huseyinfiliz

b4allb4u That's interesting — it might have been a conflict between extensions. Removing and reinstalling the extension doesn't change its settings in the database. It's possible that the load order of the extensions changed, which may have resolved the conflict. I'm glad to hear the issue is resolved for now. Have a great day!

Thanks for your valuable support...! Have a great day!

Sir,
I was wondering if you could help me set up the crop settings. My forum is hosted on Hostinger, and I have access to set up cron jobs manually via my hPanel. However, despite adding the cron job, it doesn't seem to be working.

Here is the cron job I've added:

/usr/bin/php /home/u635597225/domains/b4allb4u.com/public_html/datahub && php flarum schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

huseyinfiliz

b4allb4u test it

/usr/bin/php /home/u635597225/domains/b4allb4u.com/public_html/datahub/flarum schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

huseyinfiliz

Sir, Perfect, it works flawlessly. You’ve truly been a lifesaver! 🙏.

huseyinfiliz

b4allb4u I'm glad your issues got resolved! By the way, I just searched "hostinger laravel cron job" on Google and found the answer on Stack Overflow, just so you know 🖐

Hi @huseyinfiliz. When I install and activate the plugin on my Flarum site, the admin panel looks like this:

There is no problem when I disable the plugin. Also, there is a line in the log records that says:

[2025-10-08 11:48:11] flarum.ERROR: ReflectionException: Class "huseyinfiliz\ModernFooter\Listeners\LoadSettingsFromDatabase" does not exist in /home/u330890880/domains/xxxxxxxxxx.com/public_html/forum/vendor/illuminate/container/Container.php:877

What could be the problem?

huseyinfiliz

serdaresenturk It’s a known bug, but there’s no fix for it at the moment. If I manage to resolve it in the future, I’ll let you know. It’s most likely a very rare issue related to a server configuration.

serdaresenturk

huseyinfiliz I completely uninstalled the and reinstalled extention. Strangely enough, the problem disappeared. A simple but effective solution.

Thank you for your interest. Your extension is very useful. 👍🏻

meihuak

if you updated to v 1.8.11, it will broke the forum

huseyinfiliz

meihuak I updated to 1.8.11 myself and didn't encounter this issue. Maybe the extension was updated during the Flarum update?

After major updates, simply disabling and re-enabling the extension usually fixes problems.

Still, try these steps, and if the issue persists, I'll investigate further:

Clear Cache

php flarum cache:clear

Disable and Enable Extension
Disable and enable this extension on admin panel.

php flarum extension:disable huseyinfiliz-modern-footer

Update Flarum dependencies:

composer update --prefer-dist --no-dev -a

Run Flarum Migrate

php flarum migrate

Reinstall Modern Footer:

composer remove huseyinfiliz/modern-footer  
composer require huseyinfiliz/modern-footer  
php flarum cache:clear

Note: Removing and reinstalling the extension won't delete data unless you manually clear it. However, I still recommend taking a backup.

Try these and let me know if it works!

meihuak

huseyinfiliz thanks bro, it works now, I reinstalled it.
Maybe the reason is that I use v0.7 version. Now the latest version is v0.8

huseyinfiliz If there are other pages where the footer should be hidden, please share them in this discussion.

I'm using the Landing Page extension because my forum is for members only.

In the Modern Footer settings, when I'm using Footer Display Mode: "Hide on all pages except the index page"
the Modern Footer is shown on the Landing Page as well as the index page when logged in – which is in my case the "All Discussions" page.

I'd love to show the Modern Footer only on the Landing Page. @huseyinfiliz can you think of any quick and dirty hack to remove the footer from the index page for logged-in users but only show it on the Landing Page for non-logged in users?

huseyinfiliz

flavour1 Of course, I can add that. It may take a few days due to my workload. Thank you for your interest.
