I would like to change Alfresco footer. I already changed it in Surf pages - now it's time for Aikau page(s) (I'm on 5.0.c), like Search Results page.
I'm trying to override the template of the widget (templateString field). So far I created extension:

<extension>
&nbsp; <modules>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <module>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <id>MyCmpny widgets</id>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <version>1.0</version>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <auto-deploy>true</auto-deploy>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <configurations>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="WebFramework" replace="false">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <web-framework>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <dojo-pages>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <packages>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <package name="mycmpny" location="js/mycmpny"/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </packages>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </dojo-pages>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </web-framework>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </config>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </configurations>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </module>
&nbsp; </modules>
</extension>

Created footer template and I want to inject it in AlfShareFooter object like this:

<b>MyFooter.js</b>

define(["dojo/_base/declare",
        "alfresco/footer/AlfStickyFooter'",
        "dojo/text!./templates/my-footer.html"],
       function (declare, AlfShareFooter, template) {
         return declare([AlfShareFooter], {
           templateString: template
         })
       });
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But it doesn't work…

I've found out how to override template:

define(["dojo/_base/declare",
    "dojo/text!./templates/my-footer.html",
    "alfresco/footer/AlfShareFooter"],
    function (declare, template, AlfShareFooter) {
      return declare([AlfShareFooter],{
        postMixInProperties: function my_footer_AlfShareFooter__postMixInProperties(){
          this.inherited(arguments);
          this.templateString = template;
        }
      });
    });
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But with custom footer template comes custom css and i18n… So I wrote a <a href="http://pavelmakhov.com/2016/03/customize-alfresco-footer-aikau">post</a> about changing Aikau footer in Alfresco.
