Newbie Question - Global Footer
Permalink
Hi folks, I still haven't discovered all the advantages C5 offers. This is why I come up with a new problem of which I hope, you can help me solving it... :-)
I currently use the clipboard function to organize my footer content. I've created hundred of pages w/identical footer content this way.
Now I've realized I made a few mistakes w/some links.
So what can I do to fix this?
If I had to correct the link addresses page by page, it would take me months before I am done.
Is there a more comfortable way to correct my mistake?

Hi Vinzent,
hmm, I feel sorry, but I think I have been a bit imprecise.
In fact, I have added 4 rows to the footer area of all of my pages. Besides there is also a special design with a 1px border on the right side of the first three rows.
I think the code you've given me won't work for this layout, will it?

If you use multiple areas that you want to be globally the same, you can replace them all by changing the
new Area('nameofarea') into new GlobalArea('nameofarea')
it doesn't edit anything in your design, it just makes it globally the same.
If you still have problems, you can PM me giving your site url and ill see what you mean. :)

Hi captainzero,
As per my knowledge, there is already a global area for footer. You just need to put the correct content & links for footer in your home page. Then Click on the global area as Edit mode & copy it to Clipboard. Now move on to other anonymous pages & paste it from Clip Board.

Citytec, thank you, too for trying to helping me. Unfortunately I don't understand what you mean.
"Then Click on the global area as Edit mode & copy it to Clipboard."
I am sorry, but where do I find the global area I have to click on?
I hoped there'd be a fast way to change my footer for the pages I have already created. Some kind of solution that avoids to delete the current links, 'simply' updates them.
Any chance to get this job done with C5?

Then modify your theme's footer file. Turn the area you see there into an global ara by replacing it with this code:
now you just have to edit 1 block and every footer on your site will change. (its a global area now)
Hope this helped!
