[deprecated] Howto: Use RockFrontend's footerlinks

[bernhard]

Note: This feature has been moved to RockSettings

---------

Every site that I create needs some kind of links in the footer. It's not much work to create a page reference field for that, but it's not much fun as well 🙂 

That's why RockFrontend creates a "footerlinks" field and adds it to the home template for you:

With the latest commit you can easily access those pages in your template file:

<ul>
  <li n:foreach="$rockfrontend->footerlinks() as $link">
    <a href="{$link->url}">{$link->title}</a>
  </li>
</ul>

In version 2.9.1 I have to manually enable this feature and others.

Will this be enabled by default now?

[bernhard]

No, the idea is that RockFrontend is unobtrusive. That means you should be able to install it without any unwanted side effects happening. If you find anything that violates this concept let me know 🙂 

But if you update and check that box for "footerlinks" you'll be able to call $rockfrontend->footerlinks() in your template files 🙂

Ok, that's perfect this way. Especially in existing projects in which everything is already defined and in place.

Is this still an option? If so, I can't seem to find this in the module config for RockFrontend. Also, the screenshots seem to be from RockPageBuilder?

Hi @netcarver thx, this feature has been moved to RockSettings.

Could you please let me know where you found the outdated info, so I can remove it?

@bernhard I only found this post here in the forum - and not realising this had changed - went looking for it in the RockFrontend config settings.  Pehaps the title of this thread could be changed to reflect that this is no longer available in RockFrontend?

Thx, I've updated the first post and the thread title!
