Adding content to Footer of PagelinePro

[dipaksaraf 0]

Hello I am using PlatformPro theme and I can see options in the footer options of the Platfrom Pro setting. In the footer option on the first column there is option to add the log which is working fine. In addition to logo i want to add a logo which will be linking to mailing list. How do i add this in the footer? Another option i want is after the footer menu, a MP3 Player, I am able to add the MP3 player by editing the footer.php file but i guess that is not the cleanest way to do that, so is there any good way to do that may be via hook or custom CSS? Thanks Dipak

Hi Dipak, Have you checked out the widgets area? Go to Appearance->Widgets and you'll see where you can add widgets, which will take the place of any default content in the footer.

Hello kate Thanks for the reply, I have seen the widget option but would prefer to go with the default option as this give me more flexibility for using the content at ease.Can i used some hooks to accomplish the requirement of adding content below the logo? Any other way to add MP3 player below the Footer, without editing the footer.php theme file. Thanks Dipak

Yes hooks would be the way to go. Do you have code you would like to use the MP3 player?

How about adding addition content below the logo on column1 of Footer

You can probably use a hook for this, too.

I know i can use a hook but which one will be appropriate for this one i really don't know, so can you folks help me on the same. Do i need to write this hooks in function.php??

You can go to Template Setup in the platformpro settings. Click on "Advanced Setup" of the drag-and-drop boxes to see a list of hook names related to each element. Yes hooks should go in the platformbase/functions.php file. Some more info here: http://www.pagelines.com/docs/base-child-theme Basically something like this: ` function dipaks_mp3_hook() { echo do_shortcode('[jwplayer config="Custom Player1" playlistid="403"]'); } add_action('HOOK_LOCATION_HERE', 'dipaks_mp3_hook'); `
