Adding Footer Links to the Site (not to appear in main nav)

Permalink
I add pages to the site that appear on the footer but not in the main nav

I know with concrete5 sites we are meant to think of them as being Trees but how does everyone out there deal with foot links, pages like terms and conditions/privacy policies sitemaps.

I am curious as to see how you all do this. Do you add these pages to the sites, first level or create a separate branch off so you can use an autonav?

Currently I add them to the home page with exclude_nav set(they dont then appear on a the sitemap page that uses the autonav)

Then I add them to a global block, normally a content block with links to the pages I need. (just about to play with Jordanlevs brilliant manual nav addon)

There has to be a better way of adding these pages? can anyone through some suggestions at me.

Thanks
Sean

That's typically what we do.. We may make a page like "Footer" to
burry all those pages in.. or just hard code links to specific pages
in the template.

Generally footers don't change a lot.

Aren't pages like "Terms & Conditions" and "Privacy Policy" great candidates for being single pages? They are each unique, one-off pages that are accessible site-wide (like login, dashboard, etc).

There's no interactivity to them, so I would just deal with them using a regular page and default page type

Hi sean, I created quicklinks addon exactly for this. just add regular pages, exclude from nav, and then create a quicklinks block, or even a content block that can then be included in the theme footer via named global block. not sure what I'll do moving forward as global blocks are going by-by though.

Thank you all for your replies, nice to know I'm roughly doing it the way others are and I'll take a look at that addon Chad.

Be interesting to see how things go once the global areas go? I'm assuming the stacks are set to take over?
