Introduction
After downloading and installing "the new" MyBB for the first time just a few days ago, I immediately fell in love with the simplicity of the hook system. I set off to create a very simple mod to get comfortable with the admin panel settings and template management. Out came this mod which I use on my own board (not yet open, but it will in the near future!). Although it was more of a personal achievement for me, I decided that it would actually be useful to many so here I am submitting it. :)
TopOverview
Steven's Custom Footer adds a global (on every page) custom footer to your MyBB installation. This is great for adding affiliate links, donation links, images, quotes, or moving your copyright off the actual layout to make room for other page elements. Text color defaults to the forum's style's overall color. You can change this by encasing your footer with:
<span style="color: #ffffff;">{footer}</span>
Where {footer} is the content of your footer.
TopFeatures
- Global custom footer on every page without the hassle of editing template files
- A Toggle option to eliminate the need to deactivate the plugin (and lose your saved footer)
- Settings are changed from the admin panel - no editing of PHP files
- Full HTML code support

Installation
To install Steven's Custom Footer, simply upload the "inc" directory (found in this ZIP) to your forum's root. After you have done so, log in to your forum's administration panel, go to Configuration and then click Plugins. Next to the plugin, click "Activate." You can now change the custom footer by going to Settings and clicking "Custom Footer Settings."
