Different custom footer for one site in multisite

[jprusins]

I manage this multisite installation for a client; I used the code from the "Genesis Footer" help page to build a custom footer for the network of sites. Now the client is asking me to use a different footer on a new site I'm adding to the multisite network, but I'm not sure if there's a way to override the Network custom footer for one subsite. I'm using the Lifestyle Pro child theme.

That sounds to me like a question for Tech Support, but Tech Support informs me that it's a "theme customization" question which they won't help me with; anyone here have any ideas?

Thanks!

Use a conditional to test for blog id, then change the footer accordingly. 🙂

Best,

Thanks Lauren, that sounds like what I would want to do, but knowing how to do it is a bit above my pay grade! So should I set the conditional (I guess I can look up the syntax for that?) in the footer section of functions.php? I'm more of a cut&paste coder than a real one, so I need more info to start with!

thx,
John.

Yeah, use a conditional like

global $blog_id;
if ($blog_id == 2) {
     code here;
} 

within your footer function, after the original, so that it's only overwritten for this one site.

Good luck!

Thanks for the additional help... I'm getting closer! Still not quite there, though... here's what I have:

 //*Custom Footer
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );
add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'sp_custom_footer' );
function sp_custom_footer() {
	?>

followed by an html div that contains the footer content. After the closing div tag I put your code:

global $blog_id;
if ($blog_id == 7) {

followed by a div that contains the footer content that I only want to show on blog ID#7. That is then followed by

} 
	<?php
}

which is the code that followed the original (working) div, preceded by the closing bracket from your code.

This all works well, except that I now have both footers on all sites in the multisite setup, instead of the second footer only appearing on blog ID#7.

Any ideas? Thanks!!

For anyone else that may be looking for an answer to this issue, I found a very simple solution (after not finding a way to successfully implement the code Lauren suggested above): Studiopress offers a very useful plugin called "Genesis Simple Edits" that easily enables custom footers. I simply network activated the plugin, then put the code for the appropriate footer on each site, and in ten minutes I was done. No need to bring out the elephant gun to kill the mosquito!
