Hi I am wanting to post this at the bottom of the page before the SMF copyright still in the white bit of the Vertex theme.

Please could you advise on how to do this.

Thanks

Put that chunk at the bottom of #content_section in index.template.php.

I did this and it said there was a T string error

Make sure you put it inside the echo ' <div>somewhere here....</div><div>more stuff...</div> ';

So like this?

Doesn't have to be in a div, just inside the single quotes. Just try it.

I put this but it still says T String Error

Code: [Select]

      // The main content should go here.
      echo '
      <div id="content_section"><div class="frame">
         <div id="main_content_section">';


      // Custom banners and shoutboxes should be placed here, before the linktree.

You are not putting it inside the quotes. You are putting it after the ';

It should look like

Code: [Select]

  // The main content should go here.
      echo '
      <div id="content_section"><div class="frame">
         <div id="main_content_section">

I have done that but it has placed it at the top of my forum



Is there a way to put this at the bottom of the forum?

This is going to sound demeaning but isn't that logical for you? I only fixed the example you gave to me.

If you want it at the bottom put it at the end of that div. Everything is indented to show you where each element begins and ends. Look for </div> that is in the same indention.

You want to put it inside #main_content_section, not just inside at the top of it but right above its matching </div>.

Ah right sorry I should have been more specific

So to get it in the desired place at the bottom of the page under the Shoutbox what code will it need to go after?

There is no magic code to put it at the bottom. You need to physically move that quote to the _below functions where you want it.

It seems that you aren't using your brain or thinking clearly on what the code is doing. Don't take the knee jerk reaction and come back to post "what do I need to do?". Just take a step back and try to decipher where you need to put it.

Well to be honest, I am a novice at coding so that it probably why it seems like i am not "using my brain"

I have no problem with level of skill, just how much you are trying on your own.

You are going to want to put it in the function template_body_below(). Now before you open up the answer see if you know what to do.

Here are some hints. You need to put the quote inside #main_content_section but at the bottom of it. Find the matching </div> in template_body_below() and put your quote right above that.


Alright (now that you have tried), the top of that function should look like this:
[spoiler]

Code: [Select]

function template_body_below()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt, $modSettings;

echo '
<div>
