Global area in footer

Permalink Browser Info Environment
Hey, I was trying to figure out what is the best way to have the footer display some information in the entire site. I see there is a global area stack in the nav and header, but I can't figure out how to create one in the footer. Any suggestions?

In the theme's footer.php file (located at packages/theme_slate/themes/slate/elements/footer.php) you'll need to change the code a little that defines the areas. So for example, you would need to change the first column area from this:
<?php 
$a = new Area('Footer');
$a->display($c);
?>

To this:
<?php 
$a = new GlobalArea('Footer');
$a->display();
?>

So basically you'll need to change the line that says Area to GlobalArea and where it says display($c) change to display(). Do the same for the other three areas.

Can you give me a little more info? Exactly what are you trying to do that you get Access Denied? What type of user account are you logged in with? Are you admin?

Thanks
