Hm. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think we already gave your template an index.tpl, did we? If we didn't, it would be pretty circumstantial to do so just to give it a copyright footer - why don't you do that one in the sidebar using the HTML Nugget sidebar plugin? That will be shown on any page, too.

No, you'd have to copy the index.tpl from /templates/default to your theme directory (s9y_thin, if it's still called that way) and edit it like this:

Code: Select all

{if $is_embedded != true}
<div id="footer">
        <p>© 2007 carlitocabana all rights reserved | Design: carlitocabana & <a href="http://www.yellowled.de">YellowLed</a></p>
</div>

However, that footer might need additional CSS code, but I don't have time for that right now. Let's see how it looks without any, then we can fix it if necessary.

Morning YL, I copied the index.tpl from the default template to the w9y_thin template dir. but no succes.... i don't see anything....

To do this with the HTML nugget how can this be done? I already got 1 nugget with a link to my portfolio. can i create a 2nd nugget and place this at the bottom (portfolio is in the middle)

Hohum. That's strange. Did you actually edit the copied index.tpl and add the code I posted?

Well if i only paste the code you told i get a white page with an error
If i add the following code

<div id="footer">
<p>© 2007 carlitocabana all rights reserved | Design: carlitocabana & <a href="http://www.yellowled.de">YellowLed</a></p>
</div>

after the code

{if $is_embedded != true}

I get the footer on top of the page

*kick* found anything?

Ouch

I'm terribly sorry, I almost forgot about that one. Let's get going: Copy a fresh index.tpl from /templates/default to your template directory and edit it like this:

Code: Select all

<table id="mainpane">
    <tr>
{if $leftSidebarElements > 0}
        <td id="serendipityLeftSideBar" valign="top">{serendipity_printSidebar side="left"}</td>
{/if}
        <td id="content" valign="top">{$CONTENT}</td>
{if $rightSidebarElements > 0}
        <td id="serendipityRightSideBar" valign="top">{serendipity_printSidebar side="right"}</td>
{/if}
    </tr>
    <tr id="footer">
        <td>© 2007 carlitocabana all rights reserved | Design: carlitocabana & <a href="http://www.yellowled.de">YellowLed</a></td>
    </tr>
</table>

That's it, right?

Almost YL it's at the bottom now

as you can see on my blog now.
But I like it more when it's centered.
Also it's now on the left menu and stretches my left menu bar out of proportion.
Anyway to fix this?

Edit your index.tpl like this:

Code: Select all

    <tr id="footer">
        <td colspan="3">© 2007 carlitocabana all rights reserved | Design: carlitocabana & <a href="http://www.yellowled.de">YellowLed</a></td>
    </tr>

and add this:

Code: Select all

#footer { text-align: center; }

to your style.css. That should do the trick.

OMG YellowLed you did it again hehe it's awesome

BTW a little request....

Can the footer text be boxed (from left to right side of the page index)?
See below:

Something like this?

Code: Select all

#footer td { padding: 1em; border-top: 1px solid #000; }

Damn your right again

Is there a way to get the box smaller in height perhaps?

Sure. Right now, the height of the box is determined by "padding: 1em;". Have a look at it with padding: 0.5em; or padding: 0.25em; - if even that's too much, leave out the padding line altogether.
