Make a slide global

Permalink Browser Info Environment May 18, 2016 at 9:49 AM

Hi,

I'm currently working on http://www.grafomantestsite3.be/....

As you enter the site, you can see at the bottom i'm using 2 slides for the footer.
Can i make these 2 slides global? So every page has them?

Thanks!

Hi!

Yes, it should be possible to have to extra global slides at the end of the page.

You'need to edit the default.php file and make the following changes:

1. Find this line:

for ($i = 1; $i <= $numSlides; $i++) {

Replace it with this:

for ($i = 1; $i <= ($numSlides+2); $i++) {

2. Find this code:

$areaname = "Slide ".$i;
  $a = new Area($areaname);

Replace it with this:

if ( $i > $numSlides ) {
    $areaname = "Footer Slide ". ($i-$numSlides);
    $a = new GlobalArea($areaname);    
  }
  else {
    $areaname = "Slide ".$i;
    $a = new Area($areaname);    
  }

3. Find this code:

$a->enableGridContainer();
  $a->display($c);

Replace it with this:

if ( $i > $numSlides ) {
    $a->display();
  }
  else {
    $a->enableGridContainer();
    $a->display($c);
  }

Note that layouts are not supported in global areas, so you will not be able to add a layout with different columns to those slides. Anyway, you can always add an HTML block with the bootstrap code for the columns.

Hope this helps!
