Portal Footer Application Customizer

This application customizer provides you the ability to include a footer designed for the primary portal or hub site. The footer includes sets of links as well as a copyright statement and support email address.

One set of links provides company wide links which are configured using a common list stored within the hub site. A second set of links are personalized links, unqiue to each user, stored within each user's user profile within a user profile property.

By default, this application customizer is associated with communication sites created using the custom site design i.e. {Company name} Communication Site, provided in this project. The custom site design is provisioined as a part of the deployment process while applying the PnP Provisioning template, hubsite.xml.

Installing the extension

See getting started from the SP-Starter-Kit repository readme.

You can also download the SharePoint Framework solution package (sppkg) file and install the SPFx solution to your tenant. This extension depends on a SharePoint list and the user profile to store common and user specific links.

As this is a SharePoint Framework extension, you will need to explicitly enable this extension for a specific site using CSOM or REST APIs. You may also auto enable this extension with defined custom properties as a part of a site script using the associateExtension verb. See collabcommunicationsite.json Site Script for an example.
