Creating the Footers

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to create the footers.

Footers

From AppearanceStylesFooters, select the Details page to enter any text you’d like to display in the footer and determine whether the footer is to extend the full width of the site or be centered.

Select the Details page to enter any text you’d like to display in the footer and determine whether the footer is to extend the full width of the site or be centered. To add a footer image, turn the Footer Image toggle on. On the Logo tab, add the logo title, image, Click URL (href), and image position.

If you select YES for the Footer Image, the Logo menu displays. Configure the footer logo in the same way as the header logo.

Row Menu and Column Menu Footers

Select either Row Menu or Column Menu to add links to the footer. In the figure below, both the Row Menu and Column Menu have been configured.

Select either Row Menu or Column Menu to add links to the footer.

To configure links in the Column Menu, choose Add to add a new list of links that will appear in a column. The text you enter in the Text field of the link list will be the column header for the links. You can choose to leave this blank, if a column label is not desired.

Footer Links

  • This page is the same as the Header Menu Setup page, except the List option does not appear in the Type dropdown menu.

  • Choose Add and select the type of link you want to add:

    • Category link

    • Content

    • Cookie Consent Manager

    • External

    • Home Page

    • TC Join

    • Top Jobs

    • View All Jobs

Choose Add and select the type of link you want to add. Choose between Category link, Content, Cookie Consent Manager, External, Home Page, TC Join, Top Jobs, or View All Jobs.

Social Links

Social links are presented in the footer. In the Social Links area, add the desired links, and enter the company’s preferred URL for their social networks. The leading practice is to only include social networking links that are specific to job seekers.

Choose Add and select the type of social link you want to add. Choose between Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, Vine, Xing, or YouTube.
