Samples

Settings
There are six settings in this component that will help configure it easily
1. Heading
Text for the heading in the footer - you can use your site name for example - Max length 25 characters
2. Blurb
a short blurb about your community - Max length 180 characters
3. Link sections
Add link sections. The ideal number of sections is six. One item per line in this order: Text, title
Text: what appears on in the footer
Title: the text that appears when the item is hovered.
4. Links
Add links to link sections. One item per line in this order:
Parent, text, URL, target, title
It is a good idea to keep the number of links under each section similar
Parent: the name of the parent section which this link shows under. Use the text value from the list above
Text: the text that shows for this link
URL: the path this item links to. You can use relative paths as well.
Target: Choose whether this item will open in a new tab or in the same tab. Use blank to open the link in a new tab, or use self to open it in the same tab.
Title: the text that shows when the link is hovered.
5. Small links
You can add small links at the bottom of the footer like Terms of Service and Privacy. One item per line in this order:
Text, URL, target
Text: The text that shows for the small link
URL: The path of the link
Target: Use blank to open the link in a new tab and use self to open it in the same tab
6. Social links
Enter the social links youâd like to add to the footer in this format:
provider, title, URL, target
Provider: is the name of the provider like Facebook or Twitter
Title: The text that shows when the link is hovered
URL: The path youâd like the link to have
Target: Use blank to open the link in a new tab and use self to open it in the same tab
Notes
-
I left the placeholder items as defaults for the component so you can easily see what your settings should look like.
-
This component will use your themeâs color scheme to generate the colors used for the elements in it. but all elements have unique classes added to them in case you want to override something.
-
Since this component uses theme settings, it means that I can update it in the future to either fix or improve it and the data you enter would not be lost

I pushed some fixes.
Key changes:
-
the component now uses CSS variables, so itâs dark-mode compatible
-
some fixes to media queries to fix the bug @mbauman reported
-
added a setting that allows you to control whether or not the footer is displayed on login-required pages
https://github.com/discourse/Discourse-easy-footer/commit/a694b1ba8e31d5b24b2d0fd8e2b6190bf987527b
The cause here is CSS specificity. Your CSS targets .wrap, and it works, but this component also has some CSS that targets #main-outlet and adds some properties to it to keep the footer at the bottom even on short pages.
https://github.com/discourse/Discourse-easy-footer/blob/master/common/common.scss#L106-L113
The #main-outlet selector is more specific than your .wrap selector - because itâs id-based, so it overrides your styles.
You can fix this by adding this CSS
#main {
#main-outlet {
width: 1200px; // or whatever width you want to use
}
}
Sure, remove all the extra columns that you donât need in the settings, and youâll get three columns.
I cannot reproduce this issue, but the error implies that your settings are incorrect. Can you double-check and make sure that youâve followed the instructions under each setting? If your problem persists, can you share a link to the site you see the issue on?
I did a bit of cleaning up and deleted the replies for bugs that will be fixed once you update the component. If your issue persists, feel free to post about it again.

I wonder if the header text (This is a header) within [Easy Footer Theme Component by Joe] can be replaced with logo.
Iâve tried exporting the component to alter hbs files, but Iâve failed, I think I need some hints.
Any insight is much appreciated

Depending on what you want to do, you can simply try something like this:
-
in the Easy responsive footer theme settings delete the text inside the Blurb setting. If you want you can delete even the text inside the Heading setting.
-
create a new theme component and add in the Common > CSS tab
.blurb::before {
background-image: url(LOGO-URL);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
display: inline-block;
content: "";
/*change the settings below based on the size of your logo*/
background-size: 200px 200px;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
and the result will be something like this:

There should be an option to customize the colors of the background and text with CSS. By default, it doesnât match the header.
Otherwise it works great! Thanks!

This has resulted in the logo appearing in the blurb:before of search results, even after I specified this in the component
div.below-footer-outlet.custom-footer.ember-view > div.wrap > div.flexbox > div.first-box > .blurb::before {
background-image: url(image url);
}
Is there any way to make sure it doesnât appear in search results, but still appears in the footer?

Thank you for the awesome footer! I have been having issue showing the Tiktok logo from Font Awesome. I have tried adding fab-tiktok, fa-tiktok, fas-tiktok, tiktok to the svg icons setting, but none of them renders the tiktok logo.
Thank you for your help!

I want to change the 25 character limit for the title. I will place the title with CSS. What is the easiest way to do this?

Going beyond the character limit may break some things, but you can try:
.custom-footer .first-box .heading {
visibility: hidden;
}
.custom-footer .first-box .heading::after {
content: "This is something that is longer than 25 characters";
visibility: visible;
display: block;
}
Doing visibility: hidden, however, will still keep the white-space. However, depending on how large your title will be you can try doing this instead:
.custom-footer .first-box .heading {
visibility: hidden;
position: relative;
}
.custom-footer .first-box .heading::after {
content: "This is something that is longer than 25 characters";
visibility: visible;
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
}

You can add this CSS to your theme somewhere
.custom-footer a[href="#"] {
pointer-events: none;
}

EDIT: But itâs not right at all.

FYI BUG >>> If I add the following ⊠âCommunity, Tags List, /tags, self, List of all Tagsâ ⊠a horizontal rule is displayed on the frontend. If I remove the [space] between âTags Listâ and change it to âTagsListâ the HR goes away.

Hello, I have two problems with the social links and Fontawesome Icons.
-
I try to setup other Fontawesome 5 Icons in the Social area, but they do not show up.
I want <i class="fad fa-home"></i>
-
I setup the GitHub link and it already shows the icon on page, although I actually didnât add the Icon in the list of svg-icons.
EDIT: solved it by just using the icons name "home"

When using this theme component on my phone, the width is not set to the screen width. The width extends, almost to the size of a desktop monitor.
Testing can be done here: https://forum.tzm.community/
Make sure to open it on a phone (or use the debug option in your browser, in Firefox you can trigger the bug by using the Galaxy Note 20 Linux profile).
