Hi!

Can somebody help me with this? I have a bottom module with 2 links and I can\'t seem to insert space between the 2 links. Also, the Copyright spacing is completely different from the 2 links.

Here is my site: www.weddingfeet.com

I\'m a bit confused about where to change this in the css and how to change it.

So sorry, I am a very new developer. I\'ve been playing around with the different spacing and margin but still can\'t get it right. Also, the copyright info. is referenced somewhere else and I can\'t seem to find which file changes the layout for that.

Can somebody help?

hello,

Check the template guide:

http://www.joomlajunkie.com/help/gui...nal-magic.html

We are using the \"Other Menu\" module to act as the footer, as there isn\'t a footer menu by default in Joomla!. All you need for this to work properly, is open the \"Other Menu\" module, set a module and menu suffix
of \"-footer\", choose Menu Type: \"Flat List\" and assign it to the \"Footer\" module positon.

For the copyright look in the template parameter (the last one if i remember well)

Marco is correct, it must also be set to a list, currently it is using a table which is causing the issues with alignment. You will see the setting in the module parameters

I just realised that these instructions are for if the module is set to lagacy with 1.5, so if the menu style is legacy then the above instructions will work.

With 1.5 though we have coded it so the footer should be set to \"footernav\" position and no suffix is required. Also the menu style should be \"list\"

Thanks for the information. The thing is, I\'d like the menu items to appear side by side instead of in a list style. So, ideally, I want it to look like this:

Sitemap Contact Us
Copyright Information

When I change it to list, it looks like this:

Sitemap Copyright Information
Contact Us

How can I get a space between Sitemap and Contact Us?

Thanks again.

Do you want them all on one line? or Copyright Information below the others like you have it mentioned above?

I see it is all still in a table, making it a list will not put it all underneath each other, the list is set to float left so all items will sit side by side, just as they do in the top nav..

Did you try what we suggested?

So, I tried, that. I chose \"othermenu\" and set the footer position to \"footnav\" and then menu style to \"list.\" This just make a list of the 2 items, one underneath the other, and then the copyright on the right side.

Is there a way to get the menu all on one line with a space in between the 2 menu items, and then the copyright on the line below it?

Thanks again for all of the guidance. Apologize if I seem a bit slow here.

The footer on your site is still in a table, please can you set it to list on your site so I can test the css to see what is not linking. I can assure you the method we are explaining must work, if it didnt we would have thousands of forum posts about the footer ;) All of our menus are lists as this is the correct way to display a websites menu links according to the W3C.

If I can see it in the correct format, I should find the problem quickly, right now I am guessing. Once you set the module parameters let me know and I will see if I can find the problem.

OK. I just set the footer to list. Would you be able to help me now?

Also, would you know how to get rid of the things on the right side? (XHTML, etc.?)

**********note my code may not be exact - i edit things a lot**********

remember to always backup the source code
To remove the xhtml and css in your HTML look for the following

<div id=\"footer\" name=\"footer\"><?php mosLoadModules(\'footer\', -1); ?>
<div class=\"credits\">Template by <a href=\"http://www.joomlajunkie.com\" title=\"Free and Commercial Joomla Templates - JoomlaJunkie.com!\">JoomlaJunkie</a> |<a href=\"http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.joomlajunkie.com/commercial/flexphotoslite\" target=\"_blank\">XHTML</a>|<a href=\"http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://www.joomlajunkie.com/commercial/flexphotoslite\" target=\"_blank\">CSS</a></div>
</div>

and change it to...

<div id=\"footer\" name=\"footer\"><?php mosLoadModules(\'footer\', -1); ?>
<div class=\"credits\">Template by <a href=\"http://www.joomlajunkie.com\" title=\"Free and Commercial Joomla Templates - JoomlaJunkie.com!\">JoomlaJunkie</a></div>

if you didnt not understand let me know and i will try n clear things up :)
