changing text of copyright box
 

I want to change the text in the copyright footer but cannot find where to do this.

i have looked at bottom.tpl and copyright.tpl but these dont appear to have the text in them.

thanks

Re: changing text of copyright box
 

Which text? It shoudl be in the files you are looking at but some of this text is actually taken from general settings/company options in admin

Re: changing text of copyright box
 

it currently says

Copyright ╘ 2005-2010 Your Company Name

- thanks

Re: changing text of copyright box
 

In admin/general settings/company options fill in the correct text in all boxes - it will change that text

Re: changing text of copyright box
 

thanks Steve - I checked the general settings and can see where the company name change is. I wanted to change the whole thing.

really i want to scrap my help.tpl and put most of the links into the footer.

not sure i am that brave yet but another coffee and i might explore futher.

thanks for the guidance.

copyright.tpl :)

Re: changing text of copyright box
 

yes Mr Ryan - copyright.tpl.:roll:

should i admit now i was inspired by your work to go with xcart - so during the good hours you stand on a pedestal for me, but during other (more frustrating hours) i blame you for everything.

let presume i can figure out how to put my links into copyright.tpl without causing major damage; how do i scrap the help.tpl?

thanks for the guidance from a very very newbie.

Yea, everyone always blames me for everything :) That's ok, when you make your first million, I want a 1% finders fee!

Yep, you can add whatever html you want to that template.

To hide help.tpl, comment it out of customer/home.tpl. Have a look at this guide which will help you understand the basics of template editing:

comment out the call to it in home.tpl

{* code here *}

Re: changing text of copyright box
 

Steve - this is the level of instruction i like but .....

in my customer/home.tpl i cannot find (and i have read every line) help.tpl anywhere. what am i doing wrong?

Re: changing text of copyright box
 

It's this line (there is no help.tpl)

{include file="customer/help/menu.tpl"}

Re: changing text of copyright box
 

I tried that; like so

{*include file="customer/help/menu.tpl"*}

it looked right but i still have my menu. sorry i'm being a bit useless. appreciate your help.:?

run cleanup.php to clear the cache

Re: changing text of copyright box
 

Didn't realize you are using different skin. This one actually for front page will be in skin1/customer/main/welcome.tpl

Re: changing text of copyright box
 

I thought in 4.3.1 it was
Skin1/customer/bottom.tpl

And then within bottom.tpl is >

<div class="box">
<div class="subbox">
<div class="left">{include file="main/prnotice.tpl"}</div>
<div class="right">{include file="copyright.tpl"}</div>
</div>
</div>

The highlighted red being the template, either
1.comment it out
2. Put something else within main/prnotice.tpl
3. Remove all together.

Re: changing text of copyright box
 

thanks Steve that did the trick. Do i need to specify which skin/template i am using when i ask questions? are the files different for each one?

Re: changing text of copyright box
 

Some skins just have something different then others, in general they all have same files, structure can be different

Re: changing text of copyright box
 

Sorry for stepping in earlier, I thought user was looking for "Powered By"

Misunderstood...

no problem, everyones opinion counts
