    Hi,

    For one of my projects, I need to customize a template.
    I would like to have two different templates which display a different footer.
    Template A with footer A and template B with footer B.
    Do you think this is possible ?

    I had a look in the Enfold files but I don’t know where to act… :(

    Should I create two files : footer-a.php and footer-b.php ?
    And in each one, should I replace
    $footer = get_post_meta($the_id, 'footer', true);
    by
    $footer = get_post_meta($the_id, 'footer-a', true);
    and
    $footer = get_post_meta($the_id, 'footer-b', true);
    on line 14 ?

    Ideally, I’d like to access these different footers from the backend.
    Otherwise, I could change them by FTP.

    Thank you in advance for your answer and perhaps your help ;)

    Best Regards,
    Barbara

    Hey mika2000!

    Thank you for using our theme.

    The standard footer template used by WP is enfold\footer.php.

    If you want to have seperate footers you have to split the output here.

    Depending on the changes either with if(…) else (…) or you create subtemplates from that one and include these in a modified version of this file.

    Regards,
    Günter

    Hi Günter,

    thank you for your quick answer.

    I think I understand the idea. Could you tell me if I’m right doing this :

    1. I create a file named template_example.php which is the same as your template-builder.php except that mine ends with the line <?php get_footer("example"); ?>
    2. Then, I create a file named footer-example.php which is the same as your footer.php except on line 55 where I replace
    if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Footer - column'.$i) ) : else : avia_dummy_widget($i); endif;
    with
    if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Footer - Name'.$i) ) : else : avia_dummy_widget($i); endif;

    Thank you very much for your answer :)

    Best Regards,
    Barbara
