I searched the threads but could not find anything on how to add 3 columns, vertically, with links in the footer? Can anyone tell me where I could read up on how to go about accomplishing this. Is it true you have to be very careful messing around with the footer area. I'm using Atahualpa 3.4.2.

You can put HTML and PHP right into Style & edit FOOTER -> Footer: Content, i.e.

<table id="myfooter" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<colgroup><col><col><col></colgroup>
<tr>
<td>
<a href="...">Link</a><br />
<a href="...">Link</a><br />
<a href="...">Link</a>
</td>
<td>
<a href="...">Link</a><br />
<a href="...">Link</a><br />
<a href="...">Link</a>
</td>
<td>
<a href="...">Link</a><br />
<a href="...">Link</a><br />
<a href="...">Link</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Add a HTML/CSS Inserts -> CSS Insert

table#myfooter {
table-layout:fixed;
}
table#myfooter td {
vertical-align:top;
}

To have different widths for the 3 columns, add this as CSS Insert as well:

.footercol1 {
width: 200px;
}
.footercol2 {
width: 150px;
}
.footercol3 {
width: 250px;
}

And change in the HTML code above, this:

<colgroup><col><col><col></colgroup>

to:

<colgroup><col class="footercol1"><col class="footercol2"><col class="footercol3"></colgroup>

Thanks so much Flynn. I will do what you just said and see what happens. I am sending another donation to you now. I appreiciate you taking the time to answer my questions.

Hi Flynn
Thank you once again for answering my question. I donated last night but could not find a paypal donate button for you. Everytime I pressed donate at the end of your reply the only option was to donate to BytesForAll or juggledad. Since juggledad did not answer my question I donated to BytesForAll. Sorry about that. If you could tell me where your donate button is at I will send another donation to you.

The "BytesForAll" button goes to me.

BTW, the "Don't post..." post was not directed at you although you and me are the only ones in this thread. It was directed at a banned user who's posts are deleted now. I posted about these "ghost posts" here http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=2988

Thanks a lot for this improvement
because the footer of this fantastic theme is not very developped
this hack its working but the cells are not centered in the footer.
How to have them centered in the footer?

Daniel

Have you tried just adding a new wiget area to the footer?

Please don't post the same question in multiple threads
