Onclick content in footer

By Alexander Hecht, 9 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 9 years ago.

Hello,

first I want to thank you for this wonderful theme.

I’m wondering if it’s possible to get onclick content in the footer (I couldn’t find something like this in the widgets either)?

I would like to put my disclaimer and the privacy policy into the footer and to let the user open it with onclick.

You can see an example here: http://www.kolle-rebbe.de/
Click on Impressum / Datenschutz.

I found this jquery method (http://www.elmastudio.de/programmierung/webseiten-elemente-mit-jquery-auf-und-zusliden/) online but I’m wondering if it would brake the theme code.

Thanks for your help

    Hi Alexander

    I’m not sure but you could definitely give it a try.

    Put this under Appearance > Custom CSS:

    a.open-close {
	margin:0px;
	padding:15px;
	text-align:center;
	background:#FF9933;
	font-size:14px;
	font-weight:700;
	text-transform:uppercase;
	display:block;
	color:#fff;
	text-decoration:none;
}
a.open-close:hover {
	background:#FF0000;
}
#content {
	width:460px;
	margin:0px;
	background:#FFFF99;
	padding:20px;
	color:#663300;
	line-height:23px;
}

    Put this into the interface provided by this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/header-and-footer-scripts/

    <script type="text/javascript"> 
$(document).ready(function(){
    	$("#content").hide();

    $("a.open-close").click(function () {
      $("#content").slideToggle("slow");
    });

});
</script>

    Put this into Appearance > Theme Settings > General: Site Information Text:

    <div id="content">
Dein Inhalt kommt hier rein...


</div>
<a class="open-close" href="#">Open / Close</a>

    We’re not doing the tutorial step one as WordPress has jQuery running already.

    Let us know how it goes.

    You could also try a plugin to do this job:

    Hello Andrew,

    thanks for your fast response.

    The custom CSS somehow affected the whole site, not just he footer.

    The plugin is very nice. I tried 5 or 6 yesterday but none was as good as this. With some adjustment or this additional plugin:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wordpress-showhide-elements/
    http://akenn.org/projects/wp-showhide/

    it fits my needs perfectly.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi, I Work Here

    Awesome, glad that worked. You can think of your development process as:

    Theme Settings
    Plugins
    Custom CSS
    Child Theme/Custom Development

    As you down the list the work gets harder. So if you can achieve functionality with a plugin that’s always a win.

    All the best!
