Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA - how do I put a %bar2 in the footer

OK, here's my answer. It is a hard code change which allows me to enter %bar1 and %bar2 into ATO=>Footer=>Style and Edit Footer=>Footer Content

In ATO=> Appearance=> Editor=> bfa_footer.php

add the following code anywhere (I preferred at the top just after “global $bfa.ata, $post”)

Code:

// Horizontal bar 1



if ( strpos($footer_content,’%bar1′) !== FALSE ) {

$horizontal_bar1 = ‘<div>&nbsp;</div>’;

}



// Horizontal bar 2



if ( strpos($footer_content,’%bar2′) !== FALSE ) {

$horizontal_bar2 = ‘<div>&nbsp;</div>’;

}



$footer_item_numbers = array(

“%bar1″,

“%bar2″

);



$footer_output = array(

$horizontal_bar1,

$horizontal_bar2

);



$footer_content = str_replace($footer_item_numbers,  $footer_output, $footer_content);

New, different style bars (%bar3, %bar4, etc) can be created by defining them in css.

Also note that by adding any of :

Code:

“%pages”,

“%page-center”,

“%page-right”,

“%cats”,

“%cat-center”,

“%cat-right”,

“%logo”,

“%image”,

into:

Code:

$footer_item_numbers = array(

and correspondingly adding:

Code:

$page_menu_bar,

$page_menu_bar,

$page_menu_bar,

$cat_menu_bar,

$cat_menu_bar,

$cat_menu_bar,

$logo_area,

$header_image,

into

Code:

$footer_output = array(

any of those features become available as options in ATO=>Footer=>Style and Edit Footer=>Footer Content as well

Notes:

On first try %page-center and %cat-center are broken and needs a tweek, however, I see no need to repeat these menu bars in the footer. This is, however, a good springboard to add a separate custom navigation bar in the footer if needed/desired by creating a new function using bfa_hor_cats.php or bfa_hor_pages.php as a template.

While they are NOT broken, the same goes for $logo_area and $header_image. They can be used as templates to create an advertising space in the footer where clickable link images can be placed. Also using $logo_area allows for the RSS feed with icons in the footer as well.
