(and CMS office hours are coming again soon)
New Pre-Footer Option Now Available |
The blue footer at the bottom of every CMS site provides UC San Diego-wide information on every page of your site. It is not editable (although WTS Admins can update the “feedback” link).
Our new pre-footer module gives you space to add site-specific contact information, social media, and select links to the bottom of every page of your site.
Once we add the pre-footer to your site, you can edit its contents within the parameters provided:
|
- The pre-footer can have 3 or 4 columns
- One column can be dedicated to contact information
-
One column can be a dedicated social media/ school logo column (only official school sub-brand logos and officially supported social media icons are available)
- Use 1–2 columns for “quick links,” seasonal events/links, or other important internal links that are visible to users across every page on your website
|
Not all sites need a pre-footer! Don’t add this feature just to add it. It's probably best used on larger sites — for colleges, offices, and programs with a wide variety of content.
The pre-footer is not available for pages within Blink or TritonLink.

How to add a pre-footer to your site |
-
Read the options and specifications for the new pre-footer module and think about how it would work best to help your site visitors.
-
If you believe it’s a good fit for your website, fill out the pre-footer request form. We’ll install the new module option on your site and guide you through the next steps for having it implemented for the first time.
-
After your new pre-footer is live, you can make future updates without asking for assistance, but you must publish your entire website each time the footer changes to ensure that the footer content is uniform across the site.

Stay tuned for upcoming CMS office hours
|
We’re hosting another Zoom-based office hours session for CMS users before fall quarter begins. We haven’t yet set an agenda — we could demo the new pre-footer and other module options, discuss previous CMS tip topics in more detail, and/or answer your questions (anonymously or not). Email wts@ucsd.edu if there’s a CMS feature or skill you’d like to learn more about.
