The Footer module displays the web site copyright and Joomla license information. The module also works like the core menu module and allows you to split the menu across a number of columns. To create a Footer module, open the Module Manager, click the Site link to display Site type modules, and then click the New button to create a new module. You will be prompted to select the module type. From the list of displayed module types (refer to Figure 8-3), choose the Footer module type. You see a screen (shown in Figure 8-17) in which you enter information for the new module. Assign the title as Footer to the new module.
There is nothing much to do in this module. Simply set the Position drop-down list to the footer value to display the result of this module at the bottom of the site. Leave the value of the rest of the fields to their defaults and click the Save & Close button to save the module.
The output of this module (copyright and other license information) will appear at the bottom of the site, as shown in Figure 8-18.
