Division line at footer

[Fastidious]

I would like to have a border at the top of the footer, similar to the one that shows at the bottom of the navigation. I know I can modify the footer widget, and I have done so (the <hr />

<footer id="footer" class="container footer">
<hr />
	<div class="copyright">
		Copyright © 2014 <a href="https://nodebb.com">NodeBB</a> | <a target="_blank" href="//github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/graphs/contributors">Contributors</a>
	</div>
</footer>

However, the line doesn't stretch to touch the edge of the browser, just like the navigation does. How could I go to accomplish that?

Hi, it's because your footer is inside the main container. If you wanted to write HTML outside of the container you'd need to alter the template file for your theme.

Do you know which file? I tried footer.tpl and the line will go below the footer, which I don't want.

@drew I'd totally be in favour of the footer being outside of the container...
