As or just change it to something else?

Is this possible.?

Thanks,

This is in skin1/main/prnotice.tpl

You should lock your admin directories down as well.

what do you mean by lock down
 

what do you mean by lock down the admin directories

Password protecting the Admin and Provider directories to restrict access to potential hackers.
Have a good look through this post: http://forum.x-cart.com/viewtopic.php?t=12655 for excellent info on securing your store.

protecting admin directory
 

How do i password protect the admin directory?

Re: removing powered by xcart
 

If you have cpanel,

you can select the folder where youstore.com/xcart/admin is

admin folder and put a user and password.

basically, your putting a user and pass on the admin folder.

protecting admin directory
 

I don't have cportal. However, I can access the server remotely. How can i password protect the admin directory remotely?

I have just looked at this and tried....
It removes / replaces the "Powered by XCart" OK, but still leaves
"e-commerce shopping cart software".
Any ideas as to how to remove / change that?
Thanks

In skin1/customer/bottom.tpl comment out the whole line

{* <div class="left">{include file="main/prnotice.tpl"}</div> *}

Re: removing powered by xcart
 

Thankyou very much for your help.
I now (almost) have what I wanted.. It now reads:
Site by My Company Name.
I cannot get the link to work though (a href).

Where the link is supposed to be is underlined, but it just does nothing!

Post your code

Re: removing powered by xcart
 

My code is as follows:
bottom.tpl remains untouched (ie: include file copyright.tpl & main/prnotice.tpl)
prnotice.tpl is:


{*
$Id: prnotice.tpl,v 1.11 2008/10/29 16:50:20 max Exp $
vim: set ts=2 sw=2 sts=2 et:
*}
{*** NOTE: If you are reselling X-Cart stores, please contact us (http://www.x-cart.com) before changing the Powered-by note here. ***}
{if $main eq "catalog" and $current_category.category eq ""}
Site by <a href="http://www.mycompany.co.uk">My Company</a>
{else}
Site by My Company
{/if}

Re: removing powered by xcart
 

Link code is ok. The way you have it this is a link only on the home page and that link takes you to the same home page right? So the link works but you probably won't see it because it will just refresh the same page. You could switch the code to show link on all pages and text on home page only.

Re: removing powered by xcart
 

What I want really, is the link on all pages

Re: removing powered by xcart
 

Then take out the if statement. Like this

Re: removing powered by xcart
 

Thankyou for that.
Now, I have the wording of the link on all pages (underlined too), but the actual link does not work. However, it works fine in the admin section?

Re: removing powered by xcart
 

and the http is not needed, as the site path is defined in config.php

Site by <a href="/">My Company</a>

BUT IN MY OPINION this entire template can and should be commented out. NOBODY cares who made your website. Unless the site designer demands such an inclusion (and I would negotiate that out of any deal).

Your site is built to sell your products. Anything that doesn't directly support the goal of the store is fluff.

I would simply remove (comment out) the entire include to the template.

My $.02

Re: removing powered by xcart
 

Thanks for the advice - taken on board..
But this is bugging me now (whether I implement it or not, it will annoy me until solved!).
The hyperlink only works on the admin end - the storefront has the wording underlined, but no link?

Re: removing powered by xcart
 

I don't know how you have it but this is how I put it on my 4.2.2 test site just to test what you are talking about.

prnotice.tpl file
----------------
{if $main eq "catalog" and $current_category.category eq ""}
Powered by X-Cart <a href="http://www.x-cart.com">{$sm_prnotice_txt}</a>
{else}
Powered by X-Cart {$sm_prnotice_txt}
{/if}
---------------------

Whit this setup the link will be a link only on home page customer side. All other pages including admin will have just text. If you want to have the link as link on all pages including admin just like I said before take out the if statement and leave only the link like this

prnotice.tpl file
----------------
Powered by X-Cart <a href="http://www.x-cart.com">{$sm_prnotice_txt}</a>
---------------------

It does work as I tested it and it does exactly what it supposed to do - show a clickable link on all pages

Re: removing powered by xcart
 

Mmm! I just put the file back to it's original state, then removed the if statement.
It is still a working link only on the admin side - the customer pages show underlined text, but still no working link...

Have contacted support, but as usual, they want points.
Points = Money :(
