Footer Navigation/Links
« on: Nov 06, 2011, 05:09:46 »
I was recently looking for help creating a footer navigation/Site map but no-one seemd to know how to do it so i decided to go playing with code and make my own one. I have coded it myself to get my own desired effect. I decided I would share it with everyone. I made this on a HTML document so it may need to be adapted to work with SM forums.
The code is pretty straight forward but may be a bit messy as I am still learning.

What the footer looks like



The CSS code is as follows:
Code: [Select]
<style type="text/css">
#footer-container { /* Footer CSS Start */
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 10px 0;
    width: 920px;
}
.footer {
height: 300px;
}
.footer {
background-image:url(images/footerbg.png);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
color:#FFF;
position: relative;
    text-align: left;
    width: 100%;
}
#footer .first {
    width: 250px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
}
#footer .col {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 30px;
unicode-bidi: embed;
display:block;
}
#footer .second {
    width: 260px;
}
#footer .third {
    float: right;
    width: 260px;
}
#qvposts {
    list-style: none outside none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0 !important;
    width: 250px;
}
.clear {
    clear: both;
}
ul, li {
padding-bottom: 20px;
}
#footer h5 {
    border-bottom: 2px solid #FFFFFF;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow',arial;
    font-size: 140%;
    font-weight: bold;
    letter-spacing: -0.01em;
    line-height: 1em;
    margin: 10px 0 15px;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
} /* Footer CSS Finish */
</style>

The HTML code is as follows:
Code: [Select]
<body>
<div id="footer" class="footer"><!-- Page Footer Main -->
    <div id="footer-container">
       
    <div class="col first">
        <h5>Site/Owner Description</h5>
                <img alt="Image of your choice" src="http://cdn.dejanseo.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/image-optimisation.jpg">

            <div id="qvposts" class="col second">
            <h5>Links Of Interest</h5>

                <li>

<div class="clear"></div>
</li>
                <li>
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Link2</a>
<div class="clear"></div>
</li>
                <li>
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Link3</a>
<div class="clear"></div>
</li>
                <li>
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Link4</a>
<div class="clear"></div>
</li>
                <li>
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Link5</a>
<div class="clear"></div>
</li>
                <li>
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Link6</a>
<div class="clear"></div>
</li>
                <li>
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Link7</a>
<div class="clear"></div>
</li>
            </div>
           
        </div>
</div><!-- Page Footer End -->
</body>

If you could reference me when using the code it would be great as it took me quite a while to get right and I am giving this to you as open source to use as you wish. My website is http://www.hallynet.com which is currently under construction so not accessable at the moment.

Thanks
Brian

Thanks mate. Got tired of looking for the code so decided to put my head down and make my own which worked out very well in the end and is very customisable which is exactly what I waned to achieve.

No problem mate. Its basic enough but a few CSS edits will make an awful difference

When you want help, I'm likely to ask you questions. It's not because I'm a stubborn pain in the backside, it's because I need that information to actually be *able* to help you. Sooner you provide it, sooner you get help, simple as that.

Hmm, reminds me of http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2966

Ya looks a small bit similar to that but mine isnt a mod its just the code so that it can be added to any website whether its an smf forum or not  :)

Oddly enough my code result in almost the same look visually but mine is also added code and not a mod.  ;)

*shrug* I can add that to SMF 2 without any changes to any files at all, but that's another story... Just it looked similar is all.

Well ive had help from you before with website edits so I know that your knowledge of html and css etc is alot greater than mine but I was happy that I got it to work and thought it would be a good idea to share it for people wheo dont have the know-how.

Heres a picture of the one i have edited on my new site which is still under construction atm.
