Title: Customizing 'content block' in the footer
Post by: user88 on June 02, 2018, 07:26:45 PM

Hi there,

There is one little display issue that looks not that good on my store site. The problem is caused by having too many 'content' page links. See photo.

Is there a way to customize the content block so I can make it look nicer? Like maybe 2 lines with 4 to 5 content links each? Or grouping links in columns under a common header?

Thanks

Change a bit your footer tpl. Try smaller font size

You know, one thing I noticed playing around is that when you move the 'content' block to the top line of the 'footer', it will change how it is displayed and list all content as a list.

That's better but still not quite to my liking.

Then, I began playing around with blocks (not lego but AbanteCart cart ones) and noticed that there is an option to create a "data listing" block... and then light bulb went on...

...if I could have the option of "custom content" under the 'listing data source' I would be able to create my own header for a block and include just the content pages I want under that header and then make another block with a custom header with just the content I would like to show under that header and viola! I would get what I want.

Now, is this doable for a non developer? What would be the code?

Any thoughts?

If you need something custom try HTML block. Add whatever you want https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/12419073/HTML+Block

Thank you Basara. Did it that way and it works just fine.
