Viewport height or something

[Chippo]

I can’t find anything like setting a viewport height, or setting the footer at the bottom of the page, this has become quite frustrating, I was thinking the drag and drop word-processor type features were a game changer. This is probably a simple thing hidden by some unfamiliar jargon and a checkbox.

When creating what I thought was a simple master-frame I slammed into this problem, I set an image as a background on what I am assuming would be a body tag in css, then was going to layer different sections on top.

the first view is in design layout, the white bottom bar is supposed to be a footer, it looks like its on the bottom, Screenshot by Lightshot (prnt.sc), the next image is of web layout, Screenshot by Lightshot (prnt.sc), now the footer is not on the bottom of the page, and of course if I push it further down the margin moves further down, there is no padding or margin on the footer or the “body tag”/image, I've tried resizing the height of the page, no joy there, I can’t find a way to make the image relative or re-size it in some way, obviously the image is overflowing further than the footer.

I just watched a youtube tutorial about master frames and the guy did link the bones together so header and footer shows on other pages, but, he skipped over the fact that he had the same problem (he just had a background color and the vid is 9 years old) so this is the way it is in a browser, https://prnt.sc/kEgSa75qrS8l (no I scribbled on it later)....

And can someone tell where the image goes in the WYSIWYG UI, It was showing, I saved it, I flipped onto another tag, came back and no matter how much I open and close the program it has never come back, (it shows in the browser though)...

Thanks

The height of a HTML page is determined by the content.
So, the more content you add, the longer the page.

There are different types of page footers. For example, fixed or floating.
A fixed footer will be placed at the bottom of the browser view. A floating footer will be placed after the content.

if you need further assistance then please share a DEMO project so we can see what you have done.

Hi Pablo,
Thanks for your reply, I only have relative or absolute selections, I am assuming absolute is "fixed" anyway, it doesn't change the problem, and for some reason when ever I open up to this project the body is 27 px wider...

Hi Pablo,
Picking up on what was happening, there seems to be different ways to access different properties for the same item, so its a little confusing.
I found in a panel a choice of fixed or floating footer, so I was able to get what I think was a layout grid to stick to the bottom.

Am I right in thinking that, apart from premade footers, a layout grid is the only container you can use as a footer if you don’t want it to be relative to the screen? Because I have a new problem, that is the footer is not really on the page but seems like its a static bar across the whole width of the screen. I can imagine that would be good in some cases but I need to know how to control every aspect of the page….

Any way please understand I am just learning how everything works, its definitely not a pretty thing, I have posted to a google drive, the folder is unlocked and the file is the only one there…

A footer and layout grid are juts container. You will need to put in the content yourself.

What is the exact problem with the project you have shared?

[Chippo]

Unlike the header the footer is unattached to the page and 100% of the width screen, I can't see where to change it.. https://prnt.sc/tGSB-cKJIPHu

The footer is set to 'fixed', so it placed at a fixed position.

[Chippo]

This dash before the width fixed it https://prnt.sc/M2a4GhOcAQhd
thanks

[Chippo]

well it fixed the width

[Chippo]

when I change it to Footer floating it disappears

[Chippo]

now no matter what I put floating or fixed its he same

[Pablo]

I'm sorry, it is not clear to mew what you are trying to do.

A layout grid or footer is always full width.

Please download a template from wwb templates and try to work with it it would be better. And before doing any changes see tutorials before and make changes carefully hoping you know what you do. Your project does not have any problem the problem is the way you are trying to achieve the objective.

Templates:

@wwonderful are you spamming me .... I only need to get to know what this software can and can't do so I can make my own templates thanks, I find templates cumbersome because they have to cater for too many options ,,,,

I thought my problem was easy to explain therefore easy to fix, it seems not so.

@Pablo, I mean no disrespect but I see footers every day that are all sorts of widths, I am wondering did you look at the screenshot?, did the link I just sent you get deleted, because I just stated that I worked out how to make the footer the same width of the page (not full screen) and unlike the project I shared with you they are not like a sticky footer that is disconnected from the page, as I scroll up they move down with the page like the bar (footer) on the bottom of this very page I am posting on, that has "Board index" "the team" "member" etc on it, as I scroll up it moves down...

Anyway thanks for your time so far, I'll find some other work around. Subject over.

@wwonderful are you spamming me

@chippy I hope you are not inebriated as the suggestion which I provided for you as a better solution. Try using templates to learn the settings better.

@wwonderful do I sound drunk to you?

With due respect @pablo already told you he is not clear on what you are doing. Are you clear if he is clear? If you are clear then understand that @pablo does not have the time to teach people in the forum basic things that is the reason he made tutorials and templates so people can see the structure and learn them.

Try to understand that @pablo is very dedicated to his work. The time he gives to forum people is directly a cut off from the productive and production time to make more new features and improvements for the WYSIWYG Web Builder. If you need any help there are many experts in the forum who can help you free or paid service you can ask their service. I am sure they will help you or just post in off topic section. You are asking about header and footer yet this thread should have been in general questions or previews not in Forms I mean where is your form. And if there is not a form then you are the one spamming in the wrong thread.

Forms
Issues related to forms.

Where is your form? Then why post in forms unless in3briat3d. Sorry to be a bit rude but my apologies. But read before you post.

[Pablo]

I am wondering did you look at the screenshot?

Yes, I did look at your screenshot. The footer is full width. This is expected behavior. Because it was designed to work this way.
If you use a layout grid as footer then you can control the max width.

If you want to move the footer with the rest of content then you will need to make it 'floating'
There are many examples in the templates example that demonstrate this functionality.

If you need further assistance then please share an updated DEMO project and explain what it is you want to change.

Hey Chippo - I'd be happy to do a screen share with you to see if I can help. Been using Web Builder about 5 years but I remember getting started there were so many options.

[Chippo]

@Onlye, Thanks for your reply, that is very generous of you, and you are so right, there are so many different options, but in some cases it seems there are few, Or I just have a corrupted version.... re screen share, I do need a little help past these initial hurdles, did you mean a zoom or skype sort of thing? ... I live in Australia, I see you are in the US, we would need to coordinate times...

we can use zoom for video and voice
I am Central Time US so I think 15 hours behind you. Probably best to schedule between 5pm to 10pm my time which would be morning for you.
you can email me at eric@onlye.org and we can schedule
