[Tex/LaTex] Footer text under poster

Question

I am using the baposter package to create a basic poster and under the last box I'd like to put some normal un-boxed footer text. But I don't really know how to achieve this. baposter itself doesn't seem to have a footer component. If I just put the text as is under the last box, nothing is shown and if I put it between \end{poster} and \end{document}, it is shown on a new page. So what is the easiest way to just put a line of normal footer text under the last box of a baposter?

Answer 1

This is a tricky solution. You can write your un-boxed text as a regular headerbox but without header and border. Although it's supposed that all headerboxes share options defined in first poster parameter, it's possible to change them in headerbox options.

\documentclass[a0paper,portrait]{baposter}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\begin{poster}
%settings
{background=none,
 borderColor=black,
 textborder=rectangle,
 headerborder=closed,
 headerColorOne=black!30,
 headershade=plain,
 boxshade=none,
 background=none,
}
%Eye Catcher
{}
%Title
{My poster with foottext}
%Author
{Me}
%University Logo
{}

\headerbox{Box1}{name=top,column=0,row=0}{\lipsum[1]}

\headerbox{}%
{name=foottext, column=0, span=3, above=bottom,%
 textborder=none,headerborder=none,boxheaderheight=0pt}{\lipsum[2]}

\headerbox{Box over foot text}{name=second,below=top,above=foottext}{\lipsum[5]}

\headerbox{Box over foot text}%
{name=second, below=top, above=foottext,%
 boxshade=plain,headershape=rounded}{\lipsum[5]}

\end{poster}
\end{document}
