Hi all, pretty basic question here.

when you put something like

<div id="footer">
     <% footer %>
</div>

Where in the CMS admin panel do you control that content? And can you have something different for it on each page on the site?
Or does that require further customizing?

Thanks!

Hi!

When you put something like that, you’re lucky if the site does not break… ;)

There has been a lot of discussion lately around editing footers and the such in the CMS, you’ll find it easily by searching the forum.

Oh I haven't put that inside the footer div I've just noticed some templates containing that tag inside the div and was curious about it.
If I recall correctly the black candy default theme uses it.

Actually after writing this bit, I went and downloaded the black candy theme to check and it's actually

<% include Footer %>

Is this not supported?

Sure it’s supported, as long as you have a file called Footer.ss in your Includes folder. All this is explained in the page I gave before.

Good reading,

heh, maybe I should use the resource you offered. Haha.. I'll read up on that. Thanks a lot for helping a most likely redundant topic!
