Footer Columns

Recommended Posts

vburnham

Hi I have tried to adjust the width of my footer columns using the .fcol and other such tags with no luck. Any thoughts? I am also trying to figure out how to put more than one footer item (pages, calendar, text widget, etc) within each column. Currently I am only allowed one per column. In some columns I want two and in others just one. So I guess my question is could this be fixed by setting the footer width so that it just continues to fill up until it just pushes the next content into the next column? Or is there a plugin out there that I can get that would give me more access to what I put in each column. Let me know if that wasn't clear. Thanks so much!

The footer is a very limited site element with a fixed width for each column, evenly spread among the number of columns. They basically allow one widget in each. The column will continue in height as far as needed So the things you're asking for are unfortunately not possible. However, there's no reason you cannot apply a full width or universal sidebar in place of the footer, then applying a text widget, add your own table designed as you please. I'm sorry about this solution but if you need maximum flexibility, this older method works best.

Thats fine. Thanks for the info! I do have another question that perhaps you can help with. (If I need to create a new topic thats fine) I don't really understand hooks but I'm trying to create space in between my nav bar and the page content where I can place an image and I am guessing that a hook is a good solution. Is that correct?

I'd suggest opening a new topic and include a link to your site. I'm not sure you would need a hook for that or, if you need another element such as a sidebar or something else stuck in between. Seeing it will help.

Sounds good. I do have another question about the footer though. I placed a table in there and it looks great except I can't figure out how to adjust the padding of it. Any thoughts?

More specifically the cell padding and spacing.

A table might not be the best way to go there, usually we use divs and margins, padding and/or floats to position elements (unless it is a real table of data). Could you send a screenshot if you don't have a live site? Without seeing it its hard to say what is causing the padding but this could work in your case: [code].fcol td {padding: 0;}[/code] or if your not using footer columns: [code]#footer td {padding: 0;}[/code]
