    $balancePanel->moveToBack();
    $balancePanel->setOrder( 0 );

    if ( $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] !== '/clientarea.php' || intval( $client->id ) === 0 ) {
        return;
    }

// Add a panel to the end of the secondary sidebar for social media links.
    // Declare it with the name "social-media" so we can easily retrieve it
    // later.
    $secondarySidebar->addChild('social-media', array(
        'label' => 'Social Media',
        'uri' => '#',
        'icon' => 'fas fa-thumbs-up',
    ));
 
    // Retrieve the panel we just created.
    $socialMediaPanel = $secondarySidebar->getChild('social-media');
 
    // Move the panel to the end of the sorting order so it's always displayed
    // as the last panel in the sidebar.
    $socialMediaPanel->moveToBack();
 
    // Add a Facebook link to the panel.
    $socialMediaPanel->addChild('facebook-link', array(

7)  Add some links to footer

Create some knowledgebase articles for legal terms, privacy, etc.

And replace Footer Copyright

<p><span>{lang key="copyrightFooterNotice" year=$date_year company=$companyname}</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span><a href="{$WEB_ROOT}/">Home</a></span><span>|</span><span><a href="{$WEB_ROOT}/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=1">Privacy Policy</a></span><span>|</span><span><a href="{$WEB_ROOT}/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=2">Payment & Refund Policy</a></span><span>|</span><span><a href="{$WEB_ROOT}/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=3">Acceptable Use Policy</a></span><span>|</span><span><a href="{$WEB_ROOT}/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=4">Terms of Service</a></span></p>
