Customizing the Footer

GeoHazardWatch displays a footer at the bottom of every page. By default it shows the built-in Footer page. You can replace it with your own content by creating — or editing — a page named footer-content.

How it works

On every page load, GeoHazardWatch looks for a page with the exact title footer-content. If that page exists, it is rendered as the footer instead of Footer. If it does not exist, the default Footer is used as a fallback.

This means you get full control of the footer without modifying the built-in Footer page, and your customization survives product upgrades automatically.

The page may already exist

An add-on installed on this site may have already created a footer-content page. When you navigate to /edit/footer-content and the system says "this page already exists — do you want to edit it?", that is expected. Choose Edit to open and modify the existing page.

Add-on seed pages are written only once, on first boot. Your edits are never overwritten.

  1. Navigate to /edit/footer-content (you must be an administrator).
  2. If the page already exists the site will offer to open it for editing — accept.
  3. Write your footer content using normal markup.
  4. Save the page. The new footer appears immediately on all pages.

A simple example:

Important — keep it a regular page

The footer-content page is site-specific. It must remain a plain page:

  • Do not assign it a system-category of system or documentation.
  • Do not move it into the Required Pages source directory.

If it were treated as a required page it could be overwritten during a product sync, erasing your customization. Keeping it as a regular page in data/pages/ means it is never touched by the Required Pages Sync tool.

Editing later

To change the footer, edit the footer-content page at /edit/footer-content. Deleting the page restores the default Footer automatically.
