Adding an article content in the footer of every page.

[davecov]

Hi,

The website I'm working on has an article which contains the contact details of the client.

I need to place the contact details at the base of every page as a footer.

How do I achieve this?

I'm familiar with other CMS systems, but I'm a bit of a novice in Joomla, so please bear with me.

Check if your template has a module position in the footer and place a Custom module, with your desired text, in that position.

Thanks for the response.

The contact details are already entered as an 'article'.

Do I have to create a new 'Custom HTML' module? or can I use the existing article.

If possible, I'd prefer to use the existing article because any changes would only need to be made in one place.

You can not place an article in a module position, there may be an extension that can do that but by default Joomla 1.5 can not. You need to view the html of your article, copy it, and paste it into a Custom Module, then place that module in a footer position.

I see.

The article is obviously in the database.

Is there any way of using PHP to interrogate the database and place the article in the module?

No, just copy the article and paste it into a custom module.
