Does anyone know how to edit Vanilla Forums Footer Menus?

Post by simonmlewis »

We are using Vanilla Forums for a specific subject matter, but while there are lots of ways to customize the colors, there seems no way to edit the footer.

There is a logo down there, text, menus to pages that don't exist.

https://vanillaforums.org/
i've asked in here, but so far heard nothing.

Wondered if anyone here knows these forums and how to customize them.

If you google Vanilla Forums Footer Menus, you find nothing about it.
And if it is in a PHP file somewhere, good luck finding it as there are just so many folders and subfolders....

I just installed it. Not seeing anything amiss, just the logo. Custom theme?

A quick search found that the header and footer are in the master template: /themes/Bootstrap/views/default.master.tpl. Apparently there is a Theming Quickstart in the documentation that describes how to edit this file.

Specifically what you're looking for is [text]{asset name="Foot"}[/text]
as described in theming views. Out of the box, this doesn't do anything, so content appearing there would be the result of plugins or the like.
