Adding widgets to the bottom of the main page

by Lucy Lacemaker September 3rd 2022, 12:02 am

I looked threw the faq and I couldn’t find a tip for adding a wiget to the bottom. Before I start messing with codes or the css I want to make sure I don’t make a mistake. Do I add the code to the bottom of the css?

Hello

Please post your forum url and version

Do you mean the bottom of the portal page or the bottom of your forum homepage?

Yes at the bottom of the forum’s main page

This is what I’m trying to do:

Do you think it would look best on the bottom? You know more than I do so I would appreciate your opinion.

Sorry, but what are you exactly adding? That page talks about extensions for Chrome and Opera.

I just discovered you have google analytics I tried it but it’s not working for me.

That is only for information that the founder can see. You have to look at the Google dashboard for the information.

Alright I guess just me seeing it would be okay I wanted to keep track of how many visits I get. I heard of google analytics but I never used it before and didn’t know you could attach it here until recently.

So I guess you can say it’s solved

Nice. But I need to know if the code goes at the bottom of the css sheet or not

Create a customized widget (add the code) and then add the widget.

Hi @Lucy Lacemaker the CSS files are not made to take them codes CSS is made to make a change to look and feel of your forum layout.

Widgets are made to be at the left or right hand side of the forum not the bottom or top of the forum.

You could maybe add a javaScript like i have that will place a box under the main forum.
then add your code in to that if you look at my forum using the link in my profile your see right at the bottom i have a Free Affiliates box with other site buttons i think you could use something like that then just add your code.
