Custom area that repeats in all pages

[notusdigital]

Hi, i want to create a Sponsors area with a carrusel to display the logos of sponsors, but i want that Sponsors carrusel image area to appear in all pages, kind of like footer / header but not inside of any of them. Does this theme have that feature?
Thanx

Hey Santiago,

That’s possible with our Pro theme as it has a Header and Footer Builder which is not available in X. If you choose to convert, you can find the instruction here: https://theme.co/docs/converting-from-x-to-pro

For the carousel of logos, you can use Slider Revolution for that. Slider Revolution is included in our theme for free.

Hope that helps.

Hi, thanx, i am a developer so i can customize the footer without purchasing to PRO theme, so on which folder can i customize the footer ? I would need to create a child theme, right?

[notusdigital]

by the way i want to customize the theme with code, so i all info on which folder or file i can do changes, cause looking now at the template files, testing things out and is not working the changes on the footer (footer.php). thanx

Hi @notusdigital,

In that case, recommend checking our general recommendation for customization here https://theme.co/docs/best-practices. The theme uses views for template parts, not necessarily just footer.php

Thanks!

[notusdigital]

Ok, but can you guide me where on the views -> template parts files the footer area is located at (or on which files)? I all check that documentation u passed, hopefully, it guides me on how to find the footer area files. thanx

Hi, i already saw, thanx to the doc you passed, how to modify the footer and child theme issue.
Thanx

Hello Santiago,

Because what you are trying to accomplish requires a template customization, we would highly to suggest that you use a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released. After your child theme is setup, please review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices.

Once you have your child theme active and ready, please follow these steps below:
1] Using Notepad or TextEdit or Sublime Text or any text editor, please create a new file in your local machine.
2] Insert the following code into that new file

Assuming that you are using Integrity Stack

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/INTEGRITY/WP-FOOTER.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Footer output for Integrity.
// =============================================================================

?>

  <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_footer', 'widget-areas' ); ?>

  <?php if ( x_get_option( 'x_footer_bottom_display' ) == '1' ) : ?>

    <footer class="x-colophon bottom" role="contentinfo">
      <div class="x-container max width">

        <?php if ( x_get_option( 'x_footer_menu_display' ) == '1' ) : ?>
          <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_nav', 'footer' ); ?>
        <?php endif; ?>

        <?php if ( x_get_option( 'x_footer_social_display' ) == '1' ) : ?>
          <?php x_social_global(); ?>
        <?php endif; ?>

        <?php if ( x_get_option( 'x_footer_content_display' ) == '1' ) : ?>
          <div class="x-colophon-content">
            <?php echo do_shortcode( x_get_option( 'x_footer_content' ) ); ?>
          </div>
        <?php endif; ?>

      </div>
    </footer>

  <?php endif; ?>

<?php x_get_view( 'global', '_footer' ); ?>

You can modify and add your customizations in the code above.

3] Save the file named as wp-footer.php
4] Upload this file to your server in the child theme’s folder wp-content/themes/x-child/framework/legacy/cranium/footers/views/integrity/. You will have to create the folder path since it does not exist in your child theme yet.

Again, I am using the Integrity stack as an example. If you are using a different stack, you can refer to the following stack footer file in wp-content/themes/x/framework/legacy/cranium/footers/views/{stack}/

Hope this makes sense.

Hi a last question, we will migrate today, the stating site to its production domain which is https://www.cervantes.edu.ec/ I see there is a staging site form, where is the production one, to let you know which domain is the production one, to avoid license problems. thanx

[ruenel]

Hello Santiago,

The first field is for the live production site URL and the second one is for the staging site.

Hope this helps.
