Viewing Footer not showing in preview
Footer not showing in preview

I'm working on a basic site for an office here in town; they are independent agents of a larger firm and I cannot publish the site at all until the corporate office has approved (via screenshots of the previews, which is a pain) the site. I need a footer with the standard disclaimers; on my site built in the beta versions, I was able to add a footer on the main site area and have it show on every page. Browsing the forums, it appears this is no longer functional. Bummer. So I've added the text to the footer box on the main page, yet the footer doesn't show on preview in Chrome or Safari. I've tried just writing in plain text; I've gone so far as to copy and paste the code written into the footer box on my functional site and still the footer doesn't show in Preview. Is this simply not ever going to show in the preview? I am running the full/paid version and have checked for updates. Is this a problem anyone else is having? I don't see anything on the forums about the footer not showing up. Mildly unrelated, but I've had more trouble since the initial launch than I ever had in Beta. My old projects are jumbled to the point that I can't make any site updates because there is code and boxes scattered all over every page; I am going to have to start from scratch in order to make any changes, since it duplicates boxes when I try to drag them. To be fair, this has been since one of the last updates before the full version, but losing the functionality of the "master footer" really has me bummed--at this point, though, I'll take any footer at all. |

When did we have master footers? I've been with the beta program since June I think and never saw that. Anyway, you shouldn't be having the problems you're describing. I'd suggest posting a screenshot with layout visible (so we can see everything on the page), both in EW then the Preview.

We have not yet implemented master templates so I am not sure what you are referring to here. It was never possible to do this in EverWeb.

Please show screenshots here of what it looks like in EverWeb and post your website. Otherwise I am not sure why this would happen.

     I'm doing this site as a favor, and one page in am beginning to regret it, entirely because of the footer issue. As for the master footer, my (incredibly basic) site is www.senditcommunications.com . If you look at the very bottom, with the privacy policy and site map, that footer code is entered onto the project page footer area only, and it appears at the bottom of every page. If I update the code in that footer box, it is updated on every page on the site. Nothing appears in the footer code boxes on each individual page--that is what I thought was a master footer, is this not correct? I had expected this to happen for this site as well, but obviously that hasn't happened. I should have left the jumble issue for another thread, as I'm getting behind in my regular projects and don't have the time to devote to making a proper report. I need to get this particular site going because my actual professional projects for them are dependent on having it up. Once I catch up I'll post full shots and issues with the jumbled project, sorry to cross them over. Last edit 12 years ago |

The Footer Code box isn't for actual web page content. It is used for inserting scripts just before the closing body tag in the HTML doc. For example, code required on every page of the site such as analytics would be inserted into the site wide footer code box. Code that is only required on one or more pages of the site, such as setup javascript for individual projects, would be pasted into the footer code box in the page inspector. See this page for a visual explanation... http://everwebcodebox.com/code/code-insertion.html ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

It's a bug. If the Head Code box is empty and the Footer Code box has content the content will not display. Add nonsense code, this for example <style></style>, in the Head Code box and the Footer Code box content will display. The Footer Code box content is part of the <body> and will display. The fact that it is outside the div.container is irrelevant. Last edit 12 years ago |

Quote: It's a bug. It isn't a bug if you use the Footer Code box for its intended purpose. Quote: The fact that it is outside the div.container is irrelevant. The fact that it is outside of the container div is relevant. Anything placed outside of this div is not part of the content of the web page. I can't think of any good reason to add HTML outside of the page wrap div. If you look at the HTML produced by EverWeb you will see that there is an HTML5 style footer div. Any code to be inserted there has to be via an HTML Snippet which is then command dragged into the footer area in the design canvas or by setting it for free dragging. Placing code just before the closing body tag is done to speed up page download time in the browser. Obviously you need determine what code is appropriate for this position in the HTML doc by understanding the page content load sequence. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Anything in the body part of a webpage is content. And I can think of many good reasons to add code outside the prescribed area. And if this is wrong : <div style='text-align:center; width:50%; margin:5px auto;'>copyright</div> Then use a script : <script> document.write("<div style='text-align:center; width:50%; margin:5px auto;'>copyright</div>"); </script> Anyway, without content in the Header Code box, the JavaScript in the Footer Code box will not publish either. |

What version of the software are you using?

The latest version. The error occurs in preview. But that should not matter. I shouldn't have to add dummy code in one box to display code in another one. |

Jumbo T. is correct; I inserted "< style >< /style >" into the Header box and the footer with the disclosures now displays properly. Also, the footer code is on the main area and not on the page I'm working on, and is displaying on every page even though those pages have nothing in their individual footer code boxes. So for those who want a footer that is the same on every page without updating every single page any time you make a change, insert it on the main project page and it will run just fine that way, as long as there is something in the header box. Thanks!! Last edit 12 years ago |

A few things; 1. The footer code issue is now fixed for version 1.1. I will post a beta version very soon with this update 2. Roddy is correct that the Footer code is NOT for HTML code but rather for scripts that should be at the bottom of each page. What is needed are master templates. These will come in version 1.2 and will make website development MUCH easier and faster in EverWeb. Once version 1.1 comes out we will start beta testing version 1.2 which has this feature built in. ------------------------------- Paul EverWeb Developer |
