  I am just installing a new Zikula 1.0.2 site and testing it out. For some reason, I cannot find the way to modify the footer on Seabreeze. Could anyone point this out for me? I used to change this in settings in PN764.
  
  I was also wondering how I would go about widening the centre block (if I eliminated the right block). I would like a news item with tables to draw a little better as the data on one page gets scrunched up and the lines in various columns no longer match.
  
  Many thanks for the help.
  
  Marc

  Zikula doesn't have the footer info in the admin part any more. A design decision.
  Look in /themes/SeaBreeze/templates/master.htm (and the other templates in templates/modules) for the footer part
  

  Code

  <!-- Footer -->
  <div id="footer-bg" class="clear">
  <div id="footer">
  ....

  
  
  Wideing the center column is done in styles/style.css Look for leftcol, rightcol, maincol and the associated columns in your adapted templates. Change hte widths in the style sheet.

  Thanks for the tips. I'll give it a try.
  
  It's a shame that setting the footer through the "Settings" module was dropped. It was simple and easily accessible to all regardless of one's knowledge of HTML. Do you know if this feature will ever be re-implemented?
  
  On another point, does Zikula use solely v.3 Xanthia themes? or are Xanthia v.2 themes still good?

  Zikula will only use Xanthia v3 themes... however, the Themes module does have a conversion function. I have tried it on a few themes -- some go without a hitch, but some require some tweaking after the conversion. I have yet to figure out the reasoning behind the ones that don't convert properly because the tweaks I have to make are pretty random.

  Thanks again Erik for the tips. I had to modify the master.htm; home.htm; admin.htm as well as style.css. It would be wonderful if Zikula could find an easier way to modify the footer (as PostNuke did previously). This just causes a lot of unecessary time wasted on modifying .htm files, not mention the verifying the files as you are modifying them. It would be simpler to have a section in the Settings module.
  
  Thanks Wendel. I'll give the conversion function a try. I am in the process of upgrading 6 sites from pre-PN7.64 to PN7.64. So far the migrations have gone smoothly. I will tackle the conversions from PN7.64 to Zikula in a couple of weeks (or earlier). So far I have tested Kikula on 2 sites.

  An easy solution is to create a new position block and add it in your templates theme. After you could create a footer block with HTML content and choose your footer position.
  In my case I create a position footer and add in each template where I would like to use it
