</h1>
<p>The phpList footer
</p>
<ul><li>Is an active feature of the software, not simply a description of a design element</li>
<li>Can be edited for each campaign from the content tab of the campaign workflow
<br/></li>
<li>Is replaced by a secondary footer when the Forward to a Friend system is used</li>
<li>Should contain the [UNSUBSCRIBE] placeholder
<br/></li>
<li>Is placed in the template with the [FOOTER] placeholder</li>
</ul><h2>What is the footer?
</h2>
<p>In your template design you may have many elements which you think of as being "the footer." In the image below, for example, the blue and black coloured areas and all the content within them would commonly be described as the "footer."
</p>
<p>However, you may not wish to add all of this into your phpList footer. For example, in the image below only the "update your preferences" and "unsubscribe" elements are within the phpList footer system. The rest is in the template itself.
</p>
<p><img src="static/footer_9.png" alt=""/> 
</p>
<p>You may wish to choose which items go into the phpList footer carefully because:
</p>
<p>
</p>
<ul><li>The footer can be edited from the campaign composition tab: you may or may not want certain items to be edited on a campaign-by-campaign basis</li>
<li>If the forward to friend placeholder is used, all content in the phpList footer will be replaced when the message is forwarded.</li>
</ul><p>
</p>
<h2>Adding your footer
</h2>
<p>Everything that goes in the phpList footer is added separately from the rest of the template. 
</p>
<p>To situate the a footer to your template use the [FOOTER] placeholder.
</p>
<p><img src="/phplist/_edit/static/footer_1.png" alt="the [footer] placeholder" height="159" width="233"/> 
</p>
<p>You should design your footer as a separate .html file
</p>
<p><img src="/phplist/_edit/static/footer_2.png" alt="creating a footer for phpList" height="517" width="490"/> 
</p>
<p>To add your footer to phpList go to <strong>Config</strong> > <strong>Settings</strong> and <strong>campaign settings</strong>
</p>
<p><img src="/phplist/_edit/static/config_settings_templates.png" alt="adding a default footer to phpList" height="300" width="557"/> 
</p>
<p>Find <strong>Default footer for sending a campaign</strong> then click the edit icon
</p>
<p><img src="/phplist/_edit/static/footer_3.png" alt="edit default footer phpList" height="363" width="515"/> 
</p>
<p>Paste in your footer code and click <strong>Save changes</strong>. 
</p>
<p><img src="/phplist/_edit/static/footer_4.png" alt="save changes to default footer" height="264" width="501"/> 
</p>
<p>Your footer will now appear in the footer section of the content tab in your campaign workflow, where you can tweak it.
</p>
<p><img src="/phplist/_edit/static/footer_5_1.png" alt="footer in compose window" height="358" width="499"/> 
</p>
<p>As well as in your campaigns when you send them

<h2>The Forward to Friend footer
</h2>
<p>On the <strong>Config</strong> > <strong>Settings </strong>page, there is a second footer called <strong>Footer used when a message has been forwarded</strong>.
</p>
<p>If you use the <strong>[FORWARD] </strong>placeholder, and a subscriber forwards the email, this footer will replace the usual one. It contains the following text:
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p><strong>This message has been forwarded to you by [FORWARDEDBY].</strong>
</p>
<p><strong>You have not been automatically subscribed to this newsletter.</strong>
</p>
<p><strong>If you think this newsletter may interest you, you can [SUBSCRIBEURL] and you will receive our next newsletter directly to your inbox.</strong>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you wish to use the forward to friend system you should edit this footer so that it has the correct appearance while maintaining the appropriate text. 
</p>
