• SOCIAL MEDIA & COPYRIGHT: This column includes
  • Horizontally Placed links of different social sites
  • Site design and copyright information

Implementation of Footer in Our Site

Have to implement footer view to be placed in footer block supporting 5 columns as mentioned above. List of links can be implemented using Menus . STACK EXCHANGE NETWORK column is optional as we are not mimicking whole stackexchange site. But this column can be placed with dummy data for look a like feel with stackoverflow site. SOCIAL MEDIA & COPYRIGHT should be implemented with different styling that should be taken care in Theming.

The background finding looks good to me. Regarding the implementation can you look at the themes as well and see if you can figure out how Drupal 8 utilizes place holder blocks to place contents such as menu links. I think it will be a little more than just adding menus. For example Sub-Menu is a good idea here.

Multi-column Footer is already available in Bartik theme in Drupal8. However it has 4 column space when we will be needing 5 or 6 columns. Creating a subtheme following This Instruction should help to achieve 5 or 6 columns. Also new subtheme can be inherited follow This instruction
