i tried making footer links by editing the footer section in general settings of my drupal 4.7 by using html link tags.. but after i submit the changes it gives me a text not a link... and if put to links it will show only one link after i submit...

then i tried to make a footer block with html link tags... i put two links but it gives me only one broken link!...

i dont know what to do then.. can you show me a way to put links in the footer that appears in everypage...

example for links,

Terms of service -About -Contact -Feedback -Email Us

please help me in this, i swear i tried my best in this..

Thank you in advance..

ooh, sorry we posted at the same time. I haven't tried 4.7 yet, so it may not be the case.

but for 4.6 you definitely can, check out the footer of my personal blog: http://erik.mallinson.us/

I've no idea what you are exactly asking, or what your exact problem is but here goes:

Secondary links

<a href="/node">Home</a> |
<a href="/whatever">Whatever</a>

Of course you can spice these anchors with title attributes if you want to.,

The same goes for admin > settings and in footer.

You can put html code in your footer. You can customize the footer in the admin>settings page.

I'm working on a theme that has the secondary links in the footer area, so if you aren't in a hurry you could wait for that. I'm thinking a few weeks here.

by hacking the code of your theme -- most themes are commented well enough where you can fing the section of the theme that outputs the footer and put the html code in the right place. Using phpTemplate based themes, this section is near the bottom of the page.tpl.php file -- look for the $footer_message variable (this is the value set in admin --> settings), and put the code in after that.

With all that said, I'd still recommend using the footer section in admin--> settings -- It's working with no issues for me on several test sites, and you don't need to hack any code.

Cheers,

Bill

Go to yoursite.com/admin/settings

The top section is called "General Settings"

In that section, you will see a text area for the "Footer Message:"

Put the text in there.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Bill

Ok so I have put links into the footer using the above method, but they default to the left of the footer, how do I get links to align in the middle?

Thanks

You can set this using html code:
<div align="center">Footer Text</div>

or by setting it in the stylesheet. Setting it in the stylesheet is probably the cleaner solution, but both will work

Hope this helps

I put an external link in the footer message box but it doesn't work. It links to mysite.com/en/admin/%5C%5Cwww.external_site.com.

Any suggestions?

I'm using 5.2 ,art4_blue theme, I have -FOOTER- in the CSS styles but I don't have any -footer- in the admin/Settings where to add txt or html links.
I have attached two screeenshots of my -admin/settings, the yellow line is the footer, yellow as identification from the styles.css.
Anyone knows how to get it done?Thanks

I poke code into SITE INFORMATION section - footer

It does work, but I also have a left sidebar menu "not expanded" with the same links.
