Modifying the Footer

UForge Portal allows you to customize the information that appears in the footer. The config.xml file provides two sections to modify this info:

• <c:client>
• <c:footer>

The version number is automatically provided as part of the initial configuration and any update of the platform.

For colours and layout modifications, please refer to Customizing the CSS.

Modifying the Copyright

To modify the copyright under <c:client>:

<c:copyright>Copyright © 2007-2014</c:copyright>

Adding Links to the Footer

You can add links to external resources under the <c:footer> section.

The following example shows how to add a link to twitter:

<c:footer>
        <c:linkItem>
           <c:title>twitter</c:title>
           <c:icon>images/common/icons/twitter.svg</c:icon>
           <c:link>https:twitter.com/usharesoft</c:link>
           <c:target>blank</c:target>
        </c:linkItem>
</c:footer>

You can add as many links as you like by adding a linkItem for each link.

If <c:target>blank</c:target> or <c:target>_blank</c:target> are used with <c:linkItem> the page will open in a new tab.

Adding Terms of Use or Privacy Policy

Note

If you want to add your own “Terms of Use” or “Privacy Policy”, you MUST include the unchanged UShareSoft Terms of Use and Privacy Policy as part of it.

To modify the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy, go to the sections under <c:footer> and enter the path to the new terms of use and/or privacy policy. You can also modify the link text.

<c:footer>
        <c:linkItem>
           <c:title>terms of use</c:title>
           <c:link>https//www.usharesoft.com/about/terms-of-use.html</c:link>
           <c:target>blank</c:target>
        </c:linkItem>
        <c:linkItem>
           <c:title>privacy policy</c:title>
           <c:link>https//www.usharesoft.com/about/privacy-policy.html</c:link>
           <c:target>blank</c:target>
        </c:linkItem>
</c:footer>

If <c:target>blank</c:target> or <c:target>_blank</c:target> are used with <c:linkItem> the page will open in a new tab.
