[SOLVED] Help with a footer

[jiggaman15dg]

i am fairly new to php and i got a real estate web template from a site and i really like the visual aspects

the only thing is that it wont allow me to change the footer

 

here is the little bit of code

<?php echo $SystemInfo->CreateCopyright("PHP RealEstate", 'txt_content01'); ?>

if i delete that line the website works fine just a notification box pops up and shows on every page

i dont want to delete the file i just want to change what it says

 

currently it says "Powered by Built2Go PHP RealEstate v1.4.4 © Big Resources, Inc."

 

ive looked in the language file and the func.php and nothing comes up

 

i would be more then glad to give the script to someone if they want to play with it

what are the possibilities of just changing what the actual footer says like Site Created by Me

 

any help would be greatly appreciated

If there ar template files, check there. If not that is located in the SystemInfo class under the Copyright function. If it is encrypted than you cannot change it without doing some manipulation, but if it is not encrypted look for the class Systeminfo (or whatever that variable was instantiated to.)

what does this mean "SystemInfo class under the Copyright function"

like as group in the db?

[emehrkay]

it looks like CreateCopyright is a method[function] within a class. If you fiidn that function, you may be able to edit it's output

if i send you a direct link to the zip do you think you could explain it very slowly bc i def dont understand like i said i am very new to php

Don't you think that changing the copyright information and substituting your own (bogus claim) is a poor way to run a business web site?

[per1os]

On that note, you shouldn't change copyright if you did not create the script or pay for the copyright removal of the script.

I'm not saying that i created the template i am still going to have their brand at the bottom

but i just dont want a link to it i don't want any customers to leave

[per1os]

You can always do something like this:

 

<?php echo 
$copyRight = str_replace("<a href=\"theirsite.com\">Link Here</a>", "Link Title Here", $SystemInfo->CreateCopyright("PHP RealEstate", 'txt_content01'));

print $copyRight;

?>

 

On that note, this should not be used to remove copyright fully and if in the template it may check that string against the original so it may not work.

let me ask a question just to help understand php

isnt SystemInfo a table within the database? and shouldnt createcopyright be a field within that table?

[jiggaman15dg]

i tried that and all it made the footer link appear twice

any other suggestions?

thank you so much

[per1os]

Nope, SystemInfo is an instance of a class. The CreateCopyright is a function defined within that class that probably has "print 'copyright data here';";

 

Look up Object oriented Programming.

<?php 

ob_start();
$SystemInfo->CreateCopyright("PHP RealEstate", 'txt_content01');
$copyRight = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

print str_replace("<a href=\"theirsite.com\">Link Here</a>", "Link Title Here", $copyRight);

?>

 

Like I said I do not condone removing copyright fully at all, this is strictly to help you remove the link back.
