Description

Please see this thread for complaints that our sitewide footer interferes with the responsiveness of responsive WP themes.

Actions #1

Updated by Chris Stein over 11 years ago

I'm fine with making changes to the footer to make it more responsive. However we still haven't implemented #2000 which was a change to the footer. Any changes made should be to the proposed footer from issue #2000. I'm adding Dom as a watcher to this since he was assigned to implement those changes.

I will look at those HTML and CSS files and there are probably some relatively simple changes that can be made to the CSS to make it responsive.

I don't think we need to make it literally responsive with media queries. Just removing the max-width will do most of the work. (Though some media queries to make it prettier at small widths would be a bonus.)

Yes, I was thinking along similar lines

  • Status changed from Assigned to Resolved

In https://github.com/castiron/cac/commit/93b60be7ced0237580fb06d8cd55662ada50d706, I removed the min-width declaration that was causing most of the problem. I also added a few media query blocks so that things are readable on small screens. Marking as Resolved for now; feel free to reopen if you have things to add.

Yes, I was hoping for a heads-up reminder so that I can remember to post to the help thread in question. Although, Chris, if you have time to pipe in there with a response on what we did and what we might still do, that would be preferable. Please let me know whether you have time for that.

I can pipe in if I see it in action. Boone, I have to apologize, but it's been too long since I've cloned the cac git and I can't remember what changes I need to make to get it working. I'll sit down again this weekend but other wise you'd have to push the changes to cdev.

The change is now live. Here's a blog running Twenty Twelve: http://rbiggie.commons.gc.cuny.edu/

Note that all footer content snaps left at small sizes (and some spacing gets cleared up).

OK, thanks. Running out, I'll take a look at this. Also may send update with content from #2000
