Ehren Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 With 4.5 edging closer, here's another sneak peak of a new feature coming to all ipsfocus themes: the Mobile Footer. The mobile footer sticks to the bottom of your mobile/tablet, providing easy access to commonly used links throughout your site: The links can be configured using a simple theme setting in your ACP: And if some of your members wish to remove it, they can do so easily via The Customizer: A nice and simple Sneak Peak this time, but one which should be well received by your mobile users! 5 3
David.. Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Oh! That looks very nice! I wonder how fluid and responsive it is! Can't wait to try it!

Mobile ads should display at the bottom of the content, like normal. The mobile footer simply behaves like a sticky/fixed header. It sticks to the bottom of your screen and overlays any content beneath it.
MythonPonty Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Custom Links also available or just fix Invision Items ?

It isn't built to be compatible with those sorts of ads. 1 hour ago, Gargamel said: Custom Links also available or just fix Invision Items ? You can add your own links, but that would need to be done manually by modifying the HTML.
Freddie M Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 @Ehren: Can we group items up? One thing I have done with an application is add a streams tab - I'd prefer to keep this type of flexibility with the bottom menu I have as it makes a lot sense to group the items I want to list within that tab. It saves space for other important icons. This looks fab BTW, please, please, stop making me want 4.5

With that said, the "More" link on the right side will trigger the normal hamburger navigation panel which contains all of your navigation links. If you need a dropdown (well, dropup) menu system, you'll need to continue using your current solution or you'd need to make HTML, css and javascript modifications to the ipsfocus one. Sorry about that! 1

Mobile ads should display at the bottom of the content, like normal. The mobile footer simply behaves like a sticky/fixed header. It sticks to the bottom of your screen and overlays any content beneath it. We use the builtin advertising, it looks like this on our forums when using a mobile. Rotation and end dates are important to us when delivering the ads, which works well with the builtin function.
Ehren Posted August 9, 2020 Author Posted August 9, 2020 @ThomasP Since space is already fairly limited while using ads like that, I’d probably advise against using the mobile footer in your case
ThomasP Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 Thanks Ehren - I agree, probably we should keep our current footer as it is. It would be nice to have the ad slot below everything else, i.e. after the ips footer, though. In that case we (all as ips users) are more flexible... Like in this mockup:
Freddie M Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 @Ehren: Can the menu be turned off per user/member? If not, could this be looked into?
