Footers

Introduction

Footers can be added to slides with the addFooterSlide method.

This method place contents in the footer targets allowed in the PPTX slides: dateAndTime (left position), slideNumber (right position) and textContents (center position). Contents can be shown in all slides or can be different for each slide.

Adding footers

The addFooterSlide method adds new footers:

public function addFooterSlide($type, $options = array())

This method includes the following parameters:

$type: dateAndTime, slideNumber, textContents. The positions of these footer types are preset in the slide.
$options: extra options to apply styles, formats and other settings

Add a dateAndTime footer in the active slide:

$pptx->addFooterSlide('dateAndTime');

Add a slideNumber footer in all slides:

$pptx->addFooterSlide('slideNumber', array('applyToAll' => true));

Add a text content with styles in the active slide:

$textContent = array(
    'text' => 'Footer content',
    'bold' => true,
);
$textFragment = new PptxFragment();
$textFragment->addText($textContent, array());

$pptx->addFooterSlide('textContents', array('textContents' => $textFragment));

Tips and Tricks

Custom styles can be applied to the footer content using the contentStyles option for dateAndTime and slideNumber types, and in the PptxFragment for the textContents type.
