impossible to customize the footer? really!?

Hi all,
I wonder is it really impossible to customize the footer? I reviewed several posts in this forum about the matter. I can't believe such a complete software don't provide me a panel to change the footer.

by the way, would you please help me to create my own unique footer?

warm regards,

No it is not.  The footer control is located in themes/default/masters/master.ascx. 

The source for the footer ( if you downloaded the sdk ) is in src\controls\utility\footer.cs

As far as I am aware you can do what you want with it provided that if you do not hold a valid license for community server you must display the "Powered By" logo on every page.

How did you want the footer customising ?

 

 

Hi Emad

I wrote a detailed blog post about how to make a sitewide footer.

You can read it here

Hope this helps

Here is what I did to get around this problem:

 In Themes/Default/Masters/Master.aspx I changes the bottom lines in the file.

 From:

<div id="CommonFooter">

<CS:MPRegion id="BodyFooterRegion" runat="server" >

<CS:Footer runat="server" id="Footer1"/>

</CS:MPRegion>

</div>

 

To:

<div id="CommonFooter">

<CS:MPRegion id="BodyFooterRegion" runat="server" >

<CS:Footer runat="server" id="Footer1" visible="false"/>

<CS:ContentPart runat="server" contentname="commonFooter" id="commonFooter" />

</CS:MPRegion>

</div>

To keep the cs guys happy I'm including the EULA.gif in my now custom footer.

aarondh:

<div id="CommonFooter">

<CS:MPRegion id="BodyFooterRegion" runat="server" >

<CS:Footer runat="server" id="Footer1" visible="false"/>

<CS:ContentPart runat="server" contentname="commonFooter" id="commonFooter" />

</CS:MPRegion>

</div>

To keep the cs guys happy I'm including the EULA.gif in my now custom footer.

GREAT IDEA! I'm surprised I hadn't thought of that one myself!

CS don't mind you editing it, I've even edited the CS:Footer control for my purpose, adding some new icons.  and for CSMVP's.com, I just hid it and wrote HTML above it
