Hello,
I just made a template with a nice and tight footer, but when I install it does not show. I was choosing no back links at first, but then I chose them and a small strip now appears with the "Created with Artisteer" link.
But everything is gone.
Could you help me figuring this out?
Thanks a lot!

The footer content is considered to be a part of the site content because it is editable. It is added together with other site content while you installing it from the template properties. You should use modules add the content to the footer on your Joomla site. Just place the any module you want to the position-27 (or footer).

Quote Bart:
Position 27 doesn't exist because when you exported the template you used the older "User 1, User 2, User 3" format rather than the Positions one. Either try putting the new module into the "Copyright" position in your existing template, or re-export your template and use the Positions.
Hope that helps.

Quote :I previewed directly from artisteer and copied the footer code into the template's html in joomla editor.
Really, now you are happy having to go into the template and hack the index file every time you change the template.
On another note, the %YEAR% feature is not working either. At least in the template it's not. I can't see it in the site now so who knows.

So what do we get the "the desired content" from the Aristeer template to put in the html module?
What do you want in there? Can you tell us what you would like to have in the footer?

I have tried cutting and pasting the code to custom html however
%YEAR% shows up as %YEAR%
How do I get it to show the current year. In version 3 I added this to the template under Footer" and when I uploaded template it was all there..will this eventually be the same in version 4 ?

Like I stated, if you are using Joomla 1.7 or higher you can create a language override and put whatever you want in there. Also you can just remove the Joomla! part and the copyright will be the only thing and it will update like the Artisteer did in 3.1. No idea how in Joomla 1.5. Probably a hack of the language file.
Here are instructions. http://www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/languge-manager/
If you need the exact string let me know.

Yes please as all I want to do is get my site running and as a non programmer I bought Artisteer and all was working fine until I upgraded.
Thanks

The way it works now is really poor. 3.x was better. The headline and slogan text don't come across either. I reported that as a bug and was told it was meant to be that way. How incredibly stupid.
Dear Artisteer, please make the text shown in the footer when designing a template appear in the footer when the template is installed. Same for headline and slogan. I have already contacted you and explained how to change it so it works.

I found a better way to do the footer in Joomla.
Download JE Footer from http://jextensions.galaa.mn/?157-je-footer.html or search for it in the Joomla Extensions Directory at http://extensions.joomla.org
It's great!

Nope the only solution is to create overrides and or hack your template from within Joomla.
Artisteer is heading a different direction then what it was when we all bought it and fell in love.

They deleted my post. Anyway, I will try to be nicer and see if it stays.
There are many solutions to this but Quote :Nope the only solution is to create overrides and or hack your template from within Joomla. is simply not true with Joomla 1.6 or higher.
A language override in Joomla 1.6 or greater is not a hack. That is all you need to do and it works better than even the old way Artisteer had setup. You can add and customize the copyright area and add a custom html in the copyright position module and set the order. I don't even do it any other way now.
My last post was merely pointing out how people just can't find the brain power to read the posts and do what is working.
If you are using Joomla 1.5 you are a little stuck I guess. It will have to be a custom html module or extension. You could just continue to use V3 that does work.
I upgraded over 15 sites with 2.5 came out. Just simply miles above 1.5.

Ok this might be very stupid for me to say but it did happen to me!!
In the footer module after you have set everything right in the position.. without touching rest of the stuff.. Have a look at "Menu Assignment" after custom output.. it should be set to display on all pages.. for me it was set to display on no page..

Then whats the point of designing the footer in Artisteer if you have to go do it all again anyway when you upload the template. ??? Please put this back like version 3

Toggle the editor to code view and replace %YEAR% with the following code:
Copyright © <script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[ var year = new Date();document.write(year.getFullYear()); // ]]></script>

I solved the problem this way: I replaced with the HTML Editor in template this line:
<footer class="art-footer clearfix"><?php echo $view->position('copyright', 'art-nostyle'); ?></footer>
with this
<footer class="art-footer clearfix"><?php echo $view->position('syndicate', 'art-nostyle'); ?></footer>
after that the module in syndicate position appears

This is the "everything in one" interfaces fault. Used to be by type so it worked like you saw it.
What I can't believe is all the people and the hack this, hack that, add this, add that.
If you are using Joomla 1.6 or higher just use the module that comes with Joomla called "Footer" placed in the Copyright position, then simply add a language override to remove the powered by Joomla and/or add your backlink or ANYTHING you want. You can use html in the override.
It takes all of 3 minutes, never needs to updated (date is dynamic and updates every year) and your done forever.
Creating the second footer area is using a custom html module in the copyright position. This is better too, you updated everything in Joomla, not opening Artisteer, changing, uploading, activating template, etc when you add or change something.
Or just keep hacking away like OKRIM, who will need to do this every time a new template is uploaded. Wow,

@ Paul
In latest version you either need to export the content with the template and import it on your Joomla admin or to use a custom HTML module to display the footer content. In later case you can directly copy the content from footer section from Artisteer.
