Hello,

I am going to be needing to add a multicolumn footer to a website I am building with Buildr Backgrounder template.

I was wondering if there is any tutorial that you can think of that might help me.

thank you very much.

Elizabeth

I was just reading about Zen Grid Framework v4. Is the Buildr Background a Zen Grid Framework version 4 compatible template?

Perhaps I can use that to make a multi-column footer such as the one on this website?

Please let me know.

Happy Holidays.

Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,

When you multi column - you could do this using different modules or you could use shortcode syntax to create columns in one module

Thanks so much.. I think I managed it:

Hi Elizabeth,

With the modules I could paste a shortcode example for you?

Cheers

OK . That would be great. Thank you. Question. I have a site that has just been infected with malware for a second time.. I have done all of the updating of everything, careful with passwords etc. Why do some sites get it and others don't?

a short code example would be really helpful.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hack wise

1.the site being hacked previously makes it much more likely to be hacked again e.g bad files lingering and not removed
2. Extensions not updated or vulnerable ones not removed e.g. xmap (no longer supported and vulnerable)
3. Joomla version not updated
4. Bad host - not secure
5. Bad user management
6. Users uploading contaminated files

One of my sites has had constant attacks - I'm using akeeba admin tools and so far it is repelling them

Thanks Paul,

Will look forward to the sample short code.

Best,
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,

Try

{zen-row}
{zen-4}
<ul>
<li>Flow Cytometry Links</li>
<li>Cytometry Part A</li>
<li>Cytometry Part B</li>
<li>ISAC</li>
</ul>
{/zen-4}
{zen-4}
<ul>
<li>Line 1</li>
<li>Line 2</li>
<li>Line 3</li>
<li>Line 4</li>
</ul>
{/zen-4}
{zen-4}
<ul>
Line 1</li>
Line 2</li>
Line 3</li>
Line 4</li>
</ul>
{/zen-4}
{/zen-row}

Thank you but I did try that (short code) before with links the front end gets all confused.. see code and attached image. Thanks anyway though... Just put in a request for a new template on my site through a ticket.

Elizabeth

{zen-row}
{zen-4}
<ul>
<li>Flow Cytometry Links</li>
<li><a href="www.oasiswebdevelopment.com">Cytometry Part A</a></li>
<li><a href="www.oasiswebdevelopment.com">Cytometry Part B</a></li>
<li><a href="isac-net.org">ISAC</a></li>
</ul>
{/zen-4}
{zen-4}
<ul>
<li>Line 1</li>
<li>Line 2</li>
<li>Line 3</li>
<li>Line 4</li>
</ul>
{/zen-4}
{zen-4}
<ul>
<li>Line 1</li>
<li>Line 2</li>
<li>Line 3</li>
<li>Line 4</li>
</ul>
{/zen-4}
{/zen-row}

ah that probably means you need to download and install the latest shortcode plugin

Cheers
Paul

Will look at the tickets shortly

I just searched for shortcode plugins for Joomla there are several... which would you recommend?

thanks
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,

You can download the shortcode plugin from the template download page
