Hello

I’ve just started learn wiki platform
l’d like to create similar footer as www.xwiki.org

xwiki footer
xwiki footer2117×417 39.5 KB

I’ve googled and found the code snippet here

Can someone explains me how to use it ?

  • by editing footer object class ? (and use wich part of code ? how ? )
  • by creating javascript extension or css extension ? (and use wich part of code ? how ?)

by doing this, I will have a good grasp on how to customize xwiki UI
this will be a huge help during my long trip to mastering xwiki platform

Please help me

TBH I tried to check how that footer page is used and couldn’t find where it’s used… :slight_smile:

I checked:

  • A UIX - didn’t find one
  • The skin - doesn’t call that footer page
  • The templates on the filesystem in case they had been modified - couldn’t find a reference to that footer page either

So right now, I don’t know… What you certainly do is customize your skin and overwrite the footer.vm vm with your content. See https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Skin%20Application
