Open footer.php and move lines 69-71

Code:




   if (file_exists('includes/custom_files/custom_footer.php')) {


      include_once('includes/custom_files/custom_footer.php');


   }

above line 68:

Code:




themefooter();

or to your desired location.

thanks Palbin. but when i move it up its not coming 100% width. it's showing the size of center blocks. its there anyway to make it 100% width just like the footer.

First off what you want to do can not be done dynamically across more than one them. The custom_footer is intended to be used so that it shows on all themes, but since you want to be "in" the theme you can't use it.

The best bet you have is to open theme.php and edit the themefooter() function of your theme and add the necessary html.

Depending on how you theme is written y9ou should be able to include a php file anywhere within the themefooter function.

Ok I'm guessing to some point on where you want this exactly. I am assuming this is your custom footer file includes/custom_files/custom_footer.php. I would remain it to something else so we don't have to worry about changing the current custom_footer functionality. Maybe just call it custom_footer2.php or what ever.

Open themes/fisubice/theme.php and find lines 138-139:

Code:




    echo '</td></tr></table><table width="100%"><tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr></table>';


    echo '<center>'."\n";

Insert the folloing line between the two.

Code:




    echo '</td></tr></table><table width="100%"><tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr></table>';


    include 'includes/custom_files/custom_footer2.php';


    echo '<center>'."\n";
