Extended Footer
An extended footer can contain general site info, stats, links, etc. Generally this technique looks best with smaller print and less contrast than the content area of the page. Often darker and/or muted colors are used. If smaller text is used, more than one column should be used, and the info grouped appropriately. The default Wikka footer is a little sparse on the divs, as it should be, it's much easier to add what you need than to wade through lines of code you
don't need.
Here's how I added a two column extended footer to
DescentiaPedia∞:
First, find (in footer.php):
<?php
echo $this->FormClose();
?>
and, after, add:
?>
<div class="extended_footer">
<div class="smallfloatl">
<?php
include_once('actions/changesclip.php');
?>
<br /><br />
<?php
include_once('actions/stats.php');
?>
</div>
<div class="smallfloatr">
<?php
include_once('actions/commentsclip.php');
?>
<br /><br />
This adds the div classes "extended_footer", "smallfloatl" and "smallfloatr" to the footer. And three actions, "changesclip", "stats" and "commentsclip".
